There's a name from the past!
"Athletic director Craig Littlepage announced London’s resignation Sunday morning after meeting with the coach to discuss the future of the program. London is 27-46 as the head coach of the Cavaliers, including Saturday’s 23-20 loss to Virginia Tech, the 12th consecutive time the Cavaliers have lost to their in-state rivals."

"London’s contract was set to expire following the 2016 season. The University will pay him approximately $2.7 million through 2016."

See, fine academic institutions can demand excellence in athletics. But what took UVa so long?

Schiano would be a good fit for UVA -- close enough to Jersey to grab some tri-state talent and a nice pipeline of talent in the Virginia Beach/Hampton area to lock up.

There was one period of time in the late 80s or early 90s when UVA had a few really good years. They haven't had much success since then. I wonder if they'll go the route of a Schiano, a young hot shot, or seek a big name. They can't be happy playing second fiddle to VA Tech for so long. With Beamer retiring, this might be a good time for them to go after someone with a big name.

If Rhule has to weigh his options between Mizzou and UVA I think he will take the UVA job. He knows the area much better.

I think they are going to push hard to land him.
