I can’t explain it

Every time I see Al Groh on the sidelines (in crystal-clear HD today, for the first time this season), I feel sorry for the guy. Yeah, he ran this ship aground, but his time is almost up, and I just feel sorry for him.

Would love to see the Hoos finish out Groh’s tenure with a couple of big victories.

Al Groh to Georgia Tech?

about 2 years ago - No comments

It appears that Georgia Tech has fired their defensive coordinator. One of the candidates to replace him: Al Groh.
I don’t like the sound of that one bit. For all his faults, Groh is a talented defensive coordinator, and he’d give us headaches were he to go to another ACC school. Particularly Georgia Tech, where they More >

Al Groh’s statement

about 2 years ago - No comments

Al Groh released a statement this evening, in the wake of his dismissal as UVa’s head football coach. It’s below the fold, if you’re interested:
I am privileged to have represented this fine University – a school from which my two sons and I have earned degrees. I hope I have represented More >

Al Groh removed as head coach

about 2 years ago - No comments

After all the speculation and discussion, it’s over:
Craig Littlepage, University of Virginia director of athletics, today announced that Al Groh would not be retained as head football coach, effective immediately. Littlepage met with Groh, who just concluded his ninth season, earlier today to inform the coach of his decision.
“There is not a coach in the More >

Ready for more turkey?

I hope you all got lotsa turkey on Thanksgiving…but I hope you’ve saved room for more!
Go Hoos! It’s been a miserable year, but it can be somewhat redeemed by a victory against Virginia Tech today. We all know that it’s Al Groh’s final game as Cavalier head coach. Perhaps the team will come out fired More >

The most frustrating aspect of the Al Groh era

about 2 years ago - No comments

From the Washington Post:
But there is another measurement that, if not impressive to the general fan, resonates with those in a Virginia uniform. Sixty-five Cavaliers have gone onto the NFL after playing for Groh, including 22 selected in the NFL draft during the past five seasons. Groh produces NFL talent at a rate uncanny for More >

On Saturday’s Games

The differences between the football and basketball program were stark yesterday. The football team lost yet again, this time to Clemson. They did, however, give us all something to cheer about…briefly:
For one half of Virginia’s contest against Clemson, the Cavalier offense did everything that Al Groh is not necessarily known for: trick plays, unconventional formations, More >

Let’s talk hoops

about 2 years ago - 2 comments

In the interest of trying to forget about football entirely, let’s talk hoops for a minute. I have a big stack of Virginia basketball links that I’ve been meaning to post (and I want to stay positive, so no discussion of the Assane Sene suspension), but I went out of town this weekend and am More >

This simply isn’t fun anymore

Over at The Sabre, Kris Wright has hit the nail on the head:
What do you say when there’s nothing left to say?
Unimaginative and inept offense. Check. Average at best defense that can’t stop the run, misses tackles, and looks worse as it gets worn down. You’ve heard that one. Inconsistent, can’t block, teetering on the More >

On Al Groh

As we prepare for what is likely to be a massacre in south Florida today, Jerry Ratcliffe has a piece in the Daily Progress about Coach Groh that is worth a read. One paragraph in particular sums up my thinking about the end of the Groh era:
If Groh is released by Craig Littlepage and John More >

On the next football coach

about 2 years ago - No comments

I guess there’s no guarantee that UVa will have a new football coach next season, and I’m not going to get drawn into an argument about whether Al Groh should return in 2010. Groh is an alum and a hard worker, and I kinda like the guy…even if he’s sorta run the ship aground over More >
