Mike Mallory joined the Maryland staff in the spring of 2000 following a four-season stint as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Northern Illinois.
A former All-American at Michigan, he is reunited with his brother, Doug, who is in his fourth season as the Terrapins' secondary coach. Both are sons of former Miami (Ohio), Colorado, Northern Illinois and Indiana head coach Bill Mallory.
Mallory, 37, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant under his father's tutelage at Indiana (1986-87) before becoming a full-time defensive aide at Kent State (1988-90). He then became the linebackers and special teams assistant at Eastern Illinois (1991-92) before joining the Rhode Island staff as defensive coordinator in 1993.
Joining the Northern Illinois staff for the 1996 season, the eldest of three coaching brothers followed his father's footsteps to NIU where Bill Mallory guided the Huskies to a 10-2 mark in 1983 and later was named to the school's athletic hall of fame.
At NIU, he helped guide the '99 Huskies to a 5-6 record - their best finish since 1992 - while posting the Mid-American Conference's third-best pass efficiency defense.
A linebacker in college, Mike played with his brother Doug on three bowl teams at Michigan - during the 1983, 1984 and 1985 seasons. Mike earned All-America honors as a senior and was a two-time team captain. A first team All-Big Ten selection as a junior and senior, he was a finalist for the 1985 Butkus Award and finished his career ranked third on Michigan's career tackle chart. He won the Bo Schembechler MVP award in 1984.
Mallory graduated from Michigan in 1985 with a bachelor's degree in sports administration. He did graduate work in sports management at Indiana in 1986-87.
He and his wife, Kim, have a daughter, Kathryn (3), and a son, William Michael (1).
