Check out the 'hot seat' thread.

Tubby will not be at UVA. Promise.

Strong indications are that it will be London (former assistance coach at UVA and now head coach at Richmond). Definitely not a final thing, but he's 'in the lead'.

Another name being flung around is Al Golden.

Not sure about Strong.

There has been some talk about Skip Holtz.

I could name a couple other coaches that the Wahoo faithful would love to have (Patterson, Kelly, etc), but they have little to no chance of coming.

That probably wouldn't be a bad hire.

Academics, and university commitment to the football program make it very difficult. They've had a lot of eligibility issues.

And it really is a basketball school. As much as we are a football school. Beautiful campus, tradition, and stadium though.

But yeah, they should go with London. Great DC for them, and doing a hell of a job at Richmond.

UVA has 7 bowl wins, Groh has 3 of them!

Since 1916 UVA, Groh is your 19th coach, only one has a better winning %.

The job is perfect for Tubby. He could win 8 games a year there and get the stadium named after him.
