There wasn't much to cheer for on Saturday
There is a rumor swirling around Charlottesville that coach Al Groh may be packing his bags sooner than expected. After last weeks crushing blow courtesy of William & Mary (26-14), UVA was hoping for a good show against visiting TCU. Unfortunately, Groh’s offense couldn’t muster any points until late in the 4th quarter when the game was already decided. The Cavs’ defense showed some signs of hope, but in the end, TCU was just too powerful and left UVA with a 30-14 win.
The question remains, where does this leave Groh and company? If Groh gets the boot, assistant Ron Prince or Gregg Brandon will probably take over as interim head coach. In the meantime, UVA must start the campaign to nab Richmond’s Mike Landon.
Landon has turned the Spiders into a national powerhouse which is currently ranked #1. Last week, Richmond defeated Duke (24-16) and this past Saturday upset Delaware (16-15) with a field goal block as time expired. Landon, knows how to turn a program around and that’s what the Cavs need.
Richmond’s Landon would be a good fit for UVA and its struggling program.
The Matador will keep you apprised of any further development.
