Cavaliers react to Groh's hiring

By Paul Crane | January 19, 2001

When they learned the University hired Al Groh to replace George Welsh as coach of the Virginia football team, the Cavalier players' reactions ranged from "somewhat surprised" to "shocked." After hearing of Groh's hiring - either while watching the Dolphins-Colts NFL playoff game or ESPN - several players said they did not realize Groh was strongly being considered for the position. "I had been following everything," junior placekicker David Greene said.

By Paul Crane | January 19, 2001

Women cannot live on skill alone

By Ben Beach | January 19, 2001

The Virginia women's basketball team has the skill needed for success and the Top-25 ranking to back it up, yet the Cavaliers have failed to find the teamwork or leadership required to reach their potential. Sure, the team squeaked out an 83-76 win last night over the Richmond Spiders, but no one would have known it from talking to the sullen Debbie Ryan following the victory. "We just aren't playing consistently within a game now," Coach Ryan said.

Groh will get tuned out if he doesn't turn down intensity

By Jed Williams | January 18, 2001

I used to watch the 1989 New York Giants' defense brutalize opposing offenses.

Groh Returns: Virginia alumnus takes over after Welsh retires

By Jessica Garrison | January 18, 2001

When Al Groh called Virginia Director of Athletics Terry Holland to accept the Cavalier coaching job, it took only one word - "Wahoowah!" - to let Holland know he had the man who would replace George Welsh at the helm of the Cav program. Groh spent 13 of the last 14 years coaching in the NFL but stepped down as head coach of the New York Jets after one season to return to his alma mater. "There's been a lot of elation and excitement about coming back to Charlottesville," Groh said of the city that has become his family's adopted home. Groh, 56, graduated from the McIntire School of Commerce in 1967 after earning four letters as a defensive end and lettering in lacrosse.
