According to sources in the athletic department, as well as CBS-19 in Charlottesville, Al Groh is out as head football coach at the University of Virginia. An official announcement is expected from UVA either this afternoon or Monday.
Coach Groh has just finished the worst season (3-9) at UVA since going 2-9 in 1982.. The Hoos were hammered by their dreaded rival Virginia Tech Saturday 42-13 in front of at least 30,000 Hokies.
It is not known at this time if term "fired", or "resigned" will be used. I’ll have more information as soon as it becomes available.
Speculation about who might replace Groh is rampant, and the leading candidates appear to be: Mike London, Al Golden, Tommy Tuberville, Charlie Strong, Derek Dooley, Chris Peterson, and Jon Tenuta. My money is on Mike London. Go Hoos, and good luck Coach Groh…
