Had no clue who he was until this week and I know he hasn't been a HC yet, but just look at all the schools he's coached at?

If that doesn't fit what we are looking for!

Just heard from a source and wanted to pass along the following:

Depending on if the administrative details can get worked out, we should have an official announcement tomorrow afternoon but if not, Monday at the latest. Word I've heard is that there are some buyout details to work out and obviously they want to give London a chance to meet with his team one last time.

And now seems like a great time to reiterate: Anything you read here, stays here.

After all the hullabaloo regarding Les Miles, the President and AD made the smart call and kept him.

Today's loss was one of the toughest to swallow in a long, long time. As another thread says, a microcosm of the London years. As distasteful as the loss itself is the fact I had to endure it surrounded by Tech fans. I am fortunate to have incredibly good seats in Section 107, which is VAF central on the east side. I had Tech fans to my immediate right (as seems to be the case every game as the guy who owns those seats sells them to whoever is coming to Scott every game), in the entire row behind me and the entire row two rows down. It was absolutely incredible to have a home game overrun by the opponent's fans. It disgusts me that our fans sell or give their tickets to Tech fans. I know it is anyone's prerogative to do with their seats as they will, but it is nonetheless a disappointment.

How we can dominate a game for three quarters and end up losing today's game is beyond me. I haven't read any of the other threads yet, just glanced over the titles. I guess you can blame it on the coaches but the players will have to own their efforts. How you can give up the big plays we did down the stretch is beyond comprehension. Our players are going to have to figure out how to make plays or we will never win consistently, no matter who our coach is. I am just flat out frustrated with today's game and can only hope our athletic department makes a fantastic hire to turn things around. It will take an entire change of attitude and performance on behalf of the new staff and the players. I hope those who have consistently blamed every single shortfall on Mike London are correct in your assessment that we have plenty of talent that only needs better coaching.

UVa's Mike London begins and say that was a heckuva tough way to lose a game. He was proud of his team's effort but he's really proud of them for dealing with the adversity all season long. It's always tough to lose close games to your rivals but hats off to Tech and Coach Beamer.

On the fake punt call in the first half, London said that there was a look they were going on and the audible was there. Tech did a good job of responding to it. "We needed to execute one more yard and we did not," he added.

Asked about his job status, London said his thoughts remain on this game and his players. He said he's thankful to have "had this opportunity" as the head coach at UVa and to influence young men's lives. He said the character of those guys in the locker room have really impressed him and it's important for them to know this is a tough game. You win, you lose, you try to get better and "there's consequences for a lot of things."

More coming...

Let his players storm the field after the interception to get an unsportsmanlike. Real class act...

Despite the pain of this loss, the new era of UVA football begins NOW!!! WAHOOWA!!!

New day! It's morning in UVA football! Nail this hire, which seems to be going in the right direction, and don't look back.

Great days ahead!

Go Hoos!

So will CL do the unthinkable by retaining London to finish his contract and go out with him when he retires?

Or will Mike Go and When?

Are we going to sit around as other teams snatch up good choices and take sloppy seconds or thirds?

I don't post very often and make NO claims to being an insider or to having inside information. So with that disclaimer, and FWIW, I did speak with a big $$ donor buddy of mine today; he claims that we have been having some serious discussions with Lincoln Riley, the OC at Oklahoma. Has anybody else heard anything along this line that would substantiate this??? Also heard we have been talking to Mike Sanford -OC at ND. Again, any info along this line as well???

Know he was ECU. I liked his last year

Is he ready to be a head coach yet?

Good hire, better they keep BF so they don't have too many changes

We better come up with a better hire because he is solid

Another special thank you to the players who won't be back next season for giving us your all, every game. We didn't have the success we would have liked, but you played your hearts out and refused to quit.

Thank you for representing our school and team with heart, class, and integrity.

Go Hoos!

I really look forward to what the next staff is going to do because these two next years in the right system with a little bit of imagination to it will be scary for the rest of the ACC to watch.

Are any of the younger guys at quarterback ready to overtake Johns? Or is bringing a new staff going to have a Jay Cutler effect where he plays better and more under control?

Please don't shoot me but announced on Virginia football twitter. London and Virginia have parted ways and Virginia signed Les Miles to a 4 year 12 million dollar deal!! is this true or bullshit.

We saw numerous unnecessary penalties. We saw Hokie receivers running wide open in obvious passing situations. We saw several arm (attempt) tackles. We saw questionable play calling. We saw dropped passes and potential interceptions. In spite of all of this, our players did not quit. We saw UVA lose another winnable game.

Be a good X and O coach but he is a class act -- I for one would like to find a place for him at the University as I believe he adds value

Greetings from Charlottesville, where we're about 90 minutes before the kickoff between Virginia Tech and UVa. Absolutely beautiful day here in Scott Stadium.

As always, have at it folks...

It's amazing how much this one hurts after such a lousy season and with such bright prospects for the program just weeks or even days ahead.

We stayed with them the whole game. And when the offense finally started clicking, the defense got soft after being solid most of the day. One more easily winnable game going in the loss column. And we have one more year with the dang Hokies coming out on top.

Thank God better times are coming. Last bitter shot before a new era begins.

Go Hoos!!!

Richmond must be better than I thought

that VT will be hiring Justin Fuente as their next head coach. Anyone else hearing the same thing?

I thought a dedicated coaching rumor thread would come in handy.

Please remember that rumors are just rumors and have a tendency to build on themselves as sites start naming each other as sources and the next thing you know there looks like a lot of smoke but it's just everyone quoting one source.

Take it all with a grain of salt.

so with it being rivalry week I always enjoy a good tech joke. Let's hear what everyone's got?

Iowa State led 80-50 with better than 10 minutes left in the game and started playing their reserves. The final score was 99-77

Actually excited for football game for the first time in a long time because I know it's going to be London's last game.

Our offense has more playmakers than Tech.

If CS is ready to go I think we actually have the talent on the outside to make them pay for playing one on one outside.

If we can't go to that I think OZ and Smoke can do enough.

This is our bowl game and with the coaching staff probably on its way out of the door, I actually think we're going to let things loose and just play with the swagger we haven't seen all year. Actually we saw some of it on offense last week.

Defense should do enough. Brewer likes the deep ball, but we can get pressure to hit him enough.

Plus streaks have to come to an end sometime. We probably will fight for London enough to finally get a win for the first time since 2003.

Uva 34
Tech 31

I am in Florida and the place I am staying does not have espnu. I tried watching some games here with watch ESPN but said it was blacked out. I will head to a local sports bar if it but I don't want to miss any of the game.
