GROH Fired at Virginia

Post by SB-50 »

HC Al Groh, and presumably his staff, were fired Sunday by Virginia. Groh received a $4.3 Million buyout.

"A national search for a new head coach will begin immediately. An assistant coaching staff will be assembled by the new head coach and it will be the choice of the new coach to determine if any current staff members are retained. Littlepage did not specify a time frame for concluding the search, taking into account the fact that many of the possible candidates will be involved in postseason play. Littlepage said that he would make no further comments until the search has been concluded."

Marshall's HC was also fired this weekend.

Nice Christmas present.
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Assuming Weiss gets the boot at ND, (and how could he NOT?), it means the Louisville, ND, Marshall, Va. and, of course, Akron jobs are all open... If Bowden leaves FSU, his job is already "filled", and Memphis just hired a new coach.. A heck of a lot of openings for up and coming coaches! (Will Illinois keep Zook?) :roll:

Illnois said a little over a week ago that Zook would be back in 2010.
