Virginia Cavaliers

The 2009 season was supposed to be a year of change in the world of Virginia Cavalier football and that is exactly what happened. After finishing last season 5-7 (3-5 in the ACC) Head Coach Al Groh fired his offensive coordinator (who happened to be his son Mike Groh) and installed recently fired Bowling Green Head Coach Gregg Brandon in his place. Brandon revamped the offensive and installed the Spread Offense much to the dismay of the players.

The team began the season with a three game losing streak but finally hit the win column with a 16-3 victory over North Carolina. The win propelled the Cavaliers to three game winning streak beating Indiana 47-7 and Maryland 20-9. That win in Maryland would be the last victory for the team as they went on a six-game losing streak.

The team failed to make a bowl bid and after the season and following the season ending, the University dismissed Head Coach Al Groh and replaced him with former University of Richmond Head Coach Mike London who won the 2008 NCAA Division I Football Championship and has compiled a 24-5 record over the last two seasons.

Look for Coach London to make some much needed improvement to the Cavaliers in 2010 when you get your tickets today..
