Kevin Anderson, left, talks with the program's most well-known supporter, Under Armour founder Kevin Plank.

Kevin Anderson has been on leave as Maryland's athletic director and his future is uncertain, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told InsideMDSports.

University president Wallace Loh informed Anderson of his intentions to relieve Anderson of his duties last weekend, which appeareed to end his seven-year tenure overseeing Terps athletics, per sources. Anderson's quietly been on leave for nearly three weeks, sources said, and hasn't attended the past two football games while Loh moved toward parting ways with him.

Under Armour founder Kevin Plank intervened last week and it appeared Anderson's dismissal would be put on hold indefinitely, with him potentially returning to Xfinity Center and taking on a decreased role. Reports surfaced today that Loh fired Anderson this morning, but two sources close to the situation couldn't confirm that, continuing weeks of uncertainty.

A faction of program insiders are pushing for former basketball coach Gary Williams -- currently employed by the school in a fundraising position -- to assume the position on an interim basis during a search for a replacement, while associate executive athletic director Damon Evans would likely thandle many of the day-to-day responsibilities of running the department if Anderson is removed, sources said.

Anderson, who previously served in the same role at Army, originally signed a five-year deal in 2010 with an evergreen five-year rollover, automatically extended on Sept. 30 of every year unless one of the parties objected. The evergreen clause was terminated in 2013, so Anderson's long-term security has slowly dissipated. Loh was ready to make a change, sources said. Although he and Loh clashed, it's unclear if any specific event prompted his decision to tell Anderson to stop coming to work.

Anderson, 62, replaced Debbie Yow in 2010 and oversaw Maryland's move to the Big Ten, the elimination of several non-revenue sports, and three revenue coach hirings. His first major move, firing well-liked alumnus Ralph Friedgen as football coach and hiring Randy Edsall in what he labeled an effort to go "from good to great," failed after Edsall went 22-34 overall and 10-24 in conference play during five-plus seasons. Anderson fired him in 2015 after a 2-4 start.

His second major hire, Mark Turgeon, has overseen a resurgence for Maryland basketball after a slow start. After missing the NCAA Tournament in his first three seasons, Turgeon's led the Terps to the tournament in each of the past three seasons and they've finished in the top four of the Big Ten standings in all three years since joining the conference. Anderson was also the head of the program during the school's decision to leave the Atlantic Coast Conference for the Big Ten, a move that began the process of easing the financial burdens accumulated under Yow.

Maryland's non-revenue sports have thrived recently, highlighted by the men's and women's lacrosse teams winning national championships last season -- the third women's title in the past five seasons. Baseball and field hockey have also thrived.

A San Francisco native, Anderson reportedly expressed interest in the Cal job when it opened in 2015 and again is believed to be a candidate for the job, which is vacant again; reports, which Anderson denied, surfaced in 2011 that linked him to Stanford's vacant AD position.
