Al Groh wasn’t the only member of the Cavaliers football coaching staff to get the boot. According to Media General News Service, all but two of his assistants were also fired over the weekend after a humiliating loss against in-state rival Virginia Tech. Happy Thanksgiving, Hoos.
UVA also fired offensive coordinator Gregg Brandon. He was fired a year ago as Bowling Green’s head football coach and and came in to replace Groh’s son Mike Groh as offensive coordinator. Also say goodbye to Ron Prince, special teams coordinator.
Offensive line coach Dave Borbely was also fired together with Wayne Lineburg, running backs coach; linebackers coach Bob Trott, defensive line coach Chad Wilt, and wide receivers coach Latrell Scott.
The two assitants who will remain with the Cavaliers are Anthony Poindexter and Bob Price.
