Friday night, after 5 PM EST seems like a weird time to make a big announcement but hey, more power to them.

What's the saying- If you have bad news release it on a Friday evening?

Confirmed: The new UVA coach is...



Rip Taylor.

 

[Stern]

Rumor was they are hot for Brohm but who knows

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[jekelish]

That's completely out of left field, right? I don't remember seeing any buzz about him even interviewing there, unless I missed something.

 

[NKR1978]

Bronco Mendenhall? Wow. The ACC is upping its game.

 

[supp]

Proven winner. Maybe not a game-changer but a good, solid choice. Lots of ACC teams are making an upgrade in coaching. Hope we get Babers. A green coordinator is going to have less room for error in this league going forward.

 

[Toga]

OK - who had Bronco?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[jekelish]

It has now been confirmed by UVA.

 

[jekelish]

I'm perplexed by some of the negativity over at the UVA board. This is a really strong hire for them, but half of them are b***hing about it.

Oh man, I'm just about to drive home. Utah sports radio is going to be blowing up!

Bronco Mendenhall's theme music:


In 11 seasons at BYU, he never won fewer than 6 games in a season. Never finished below .500, and won at least 8 games in 9 of his 11 years there.

That's pretty solid.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

For people that like a CEO style head coach, that's Bronco to the tee.

He's good. That game just got more difficult.

Well, between Mendenhall and Richt, the league has upped its religious quotient.

Yep. If it's not Babers, look for us to do the same.

 

[jekelish]

I feel like you know something specific and you're not letting on.

 

[Chip]

He's good. That game just got more difficult.

Luckily we don't play them again for 6 years.

$3.25 million per year. Looks like they are getting serious about their football program.
