A lot has changed for the Virginia Cavaliers football team heading into the 2022 season. New head coach, entirely new coaching system, many new faces. Generally, that points to a bit of a down season. Bronco Mendenhall went 2-10 in his first season. Mike London went 4-8, Al Groh went 5-7. Even George Welsh went 2-9 in his first season. Usually, a new coach is around because the old coach wasn’t good enough.
That’s not exactly the case this time around. Bronco left of his own accord and Tony inherited a program that went 6-6 last season and was selected for a Bowl game.
