Up by 17 at the half and then fold like a paper tent down the stretch? The Cavs lack real leadership and direction. Will the big wigs at UVA please make a change at Coach. North Carolina went and got a guy who was a winner and look where they are headed. Quit taking average joes who cannot recruit worth a damn and are way too predictable with their playcalling. :tsk:

Cavs lose to Southern Miss 37-34 and are now 0-3 going to UNC next week. :mad:

maybe Virginia should just focus on basketball and get rid of football altogether :noidea:

Why? Their basketball program is worse than their football one. Do you even pay attention to sports? lmao

yeah, just not Virginia sports lol.

I remember when Al Groh was with the Jets...i think Herm Edwards mighta been a notch better than him. (i can't believe I just said that).

Thanks for the info Nomad although im not sure how i feel about it yet. Truthfully i dont know much about London but i really wanted to try and get someone who has done a little more in the college ranks. Never the less, congrats to London and lets see what he can do.

Just did a Wiki search on him. He was there at UVA as the DC while Long was there so that is promising. He also was at Richmond while Sidbury was there so hopefully he has an eye for defensive talent but hopefully it also translates to better recruits overall which was Grohls major weakness.

Well, Skinny relayed the message and I just made a some what snide comment because Tony Dungy was on last night advocating for more black college coaches! Anywoo, Hope he does well for your Cavs!!

Hope he does well. I had no real bone to pick with Groh. UVA cannot be a real contender without lowering academic standards and Groh had a great run with grooming talent - lots of successful NFL players out of an also ran program. High graduation rate as well.
I do get tired of the minority coach complaint though.

UVA needs to recruit more thugs, goons, and criminals. Sub-normal intellect should be no barrier. You guys should aspire to be the Miami Hurricanes of the ACC

Yeah, what talented player wants to sign up for a hard school with no puss. They need to get rid of that football program. It will never be good again.

Where did you guys get the idea that the Notre Dame football program had any special appeal to homosexuals? That seems a trifle unfair.

Nah, they dont need to get that bad nor do i think they should lower their academic standards as im pretty proud that they dont tolerate those kinds of guys. But, the reality is there are some good players out there that are good citizens on top of athletic ability. But, Groh was just never good at recruiting and was getting subpar talent to come in to begin with. Despite Welsh's issues he was still able to get some pretty talented players into the program. But its time UVA caught up with the rest of the ACC in terms of recruiting. I mean, even Duke, UNC, and Wake have high academic standards and seem to recruit better. Lets hope London knows what he is doing.

Maybe UVA needs to pattern themselves after the Va. Tech Hokies? It might help to follow Blacksburg's lead and example in this process.
