The 1956 Maryland Terrapins football team represented the University of Maryland in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) college football in its fourth season as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference. They were led by first-year head coach Tommy Mont, who had been promoted from backfield assistant after Jim Tatum left to take over at . Preseason hopes were high for the team, but it suffered numerous injuries and other misfortunes. Maryland finished with a 2–7–1 record, and the Associated Press called it "one of the year's most disappointing football teams". ==Before the season== Maryland head coach Jim Tatum resigned on January 8, 1956 to take the same post at his alma mater, North Carolina, and he was replaced by backfield coach Tommy Mont.〔(Mont Picked To Succeed Tatum ), ''The Miami News'', January 18, 1956.〕 Mont was a former quarterback for Maryland and the Washington Redskins.〔(Maryland's Tommy Mont Named Head Grid Coach at DePauw ), DePauw University, April 29, 1959, retrieved January 28, 2009.〕〔(Tommy Mont Statistics ), Pro Football Reference, retrieved June 9, 2009.〕 Mont came with the personal recommendation of Tatum.〔(Mont, Former Backfield Aide to Tatum, Named Maryland's Head Football Coach ), ''The New York Times'', January 18, 1956.〕 Tatum also instructed his former players to stay at Maryland rather than follow him by transferring to North Carolina.〔(Tatum Tells Maryland Gridders to Stay Put ), ''The Los Angeles Times'', January 12, 1956.〕 As head coach, Mont was unable to recruit the highly skilled athletes that Tatum had consistently secured during his tenure.〔K. Adam Powell and Woody Durham, (Border Wars: ''The First Fifty Years of Atlantic Coast Conference Football'' ), 2004, Scarecrow Press, ISBN 0-8108-4839-2.〕 Rod Breedlove, who played on freshman team in 1956 and started on the varsity squad thereafter, was an exception as one of the best guard prospects in the nation.〔 Due to the pressures associated with coaching a major college program, Mont eventually resigned as head coach after the 1958 season in order to take the same position at DePauw University.〔John Underwood, (Bell Of The Ball Game ), ''Sports Illustrated'', September 10, 1973.〕
