Andy Talley has been in many press conferences over his 31 years at Villanova. However, the head coach of the football program never had one like the kind he did last week.
The small, cozy Pavilion press room was crammed with many people taking advantage of the remaining standing room. Reporters, current and former players and some friends and family were there in attendance to witness the changing of the guard.
On that Wednesday afternoon, Andy Talley announced that he would retire after the upcoming 2016 season.
“It has been a privilege to be the head football coach at Villanova University for the last 31 years,” Talley said.
