The Numbered Days of Al Groh



I was calling for Al Groh's head after the embarassment at Wyoming. It wasn't the first time I had. If you check the archives, you'll find me calling for his head in late 2005 when that season was going down the tubes. Winning the bowl game in Nashville late in the season didn't encourage me much in the future of the team. Last year clearly confirmed that, but the end of the season and all the returning players gave me hope. Instead, we got off to a horrible start against a small time team like Wyoming where we were outgained in yardage by a factor of four and Wyoming had 28 first downs to our 5. It was truly embarassing as I read it on Espn.com out here on Guam (unfortunately, Jefferson Pilot Sports doesn't have any games on out here). Squeaking out victories in the last two games has me a little more encouraged, though not confident. Perhaps the emergence of Cedric Peerman and Peter Lalich as offensive starts will result in the rebirth of the UVA offense. Chris Long continues to play like a man child. Perhaps there is some hope to have a winning season and make a bottom feeder bowl given our weak schedule. Anything less than 6 wins, and Groh needs to go. He probably needs to go anyways.
