This was a veteran team that went 4-8 that was expected to vie for the conference crown.
What's left for next ODU season doesn't look spectacular and another poor team in a brand new stadium is possible.

The loss to a terrible Rice team that had lost eight consecutively, on top of the already horrendous season, really brought out the boo birds who were shocked by the awful Rice game.

He had to fire everyone to appease the critics.

It is just so easy to have the name Bobby Wilder and the phrase unsportsmanlike conduct in the same sentence. What's happening to the program that he oversees could not happen to a better person. I doubt that he and Jimmye exchange Christmas cards. I will never forget his players hitting our guys when they were yards out of bounds.

Not a surprise- Coach Taylor has removed all W&M references from his Twitter page and put out a thank you tweet. All signs point to Mike London Jr. filling in the WR coach role as he did at Howard.

In the you want to keep coaching as long as you can category, UNC welcomes back 67 year old Mack Brown as its head coach, again ....

Coach Brown makes Cosch London look like a spring chicken :).

As did Trey Henderson. He also added "special teams coach" to his bio

Hate to see Coach Henderson go.

Interesting:
"Huge was able to start the search by first building the profile of an ideal candidate. Once the profile was established, a list of more than 20 possibilities was compiled, which was eventually whittled down to eight then four names. Finally, a shortlist of two interviewees was created. It was from talking to higher-ups in the University of Virginia athletic department that Huge started to get the idea that London was the person who would best fit this profile."

Not really surprising re: UVA. The current AD was hired after London left, and Littlepage and Oliver stuck up for London until the bitter end. Neither work for the department at this time, though I think Craig is doing something for the University.

Few at UVA will criticize Mike as a person. Teresa Sullivan was always a supporter of his. I am as far from a fan of his as you can get, but even I don't question his character. The consensus at UVa, as quoted to me by a member of the SAF Board, is that he was more life coach than football coach. That showed on the field. Here's hoping I owe him an apology in a year or two. I do hope she talked to Bronco as well, to get his take on the condition of the program when he arrived.

Very surprised they only interviewed two people. The job pays fairly well by FCS standards. I think JL's final base was somewhere around $288K. I'm too lazy to search the General Assembly records. I think he had a decent car allowance as well - enough for a solid US made sedan.

I guess we will never know who the other finalist was.

Does UVA still owe London on his contract and they get out from the buyout if he has a head coaching job?

If so, then Howard probably already paid it. Maybe we owe Howard.

Coach London
Marion was a pupil of Gus Malzahn's and shares similar philosophies. They want uptempo high volume offense. Operating in no-huddle much of the time. Lots of movement and unbalanced lineups to throw off defenses. The idea is to put stress on defensive decision making coupled with high volume. Eventually defenses will get gassed, guess wrong, or get beat.

Tribe averaged right around 60 offensive plays per game this past season. Howard averaged 75. Auburn average 76. Once implemented, it wouldn't surprise me if Coach Marion wants even more plays than that. I'd imagine it is a fun offensive system to play in and pretty fun to watch if ran well.

A couple of articles about his/Malzahn's scheme.

W&M's paying more than he got at Howard, right? Gotta save every penny possible.

RE: Coach London
I would love to know who was on the 20 name list, and who the other interview was.

Big fan of the London hire, so more just out of curiosity than wistfulness.
