Mike London resigns as Virginia's coach after six seasons

Mike London resigned as Virginia’s coach on Sunday, not even a day after his sixth season concluded with a 23-20 loss to rival Virginia Tech.

The university announced the decision on Sunday morning after London met with athletic director Craig Littlepage. London went 27-46 over six seasons, winning more than five games just once — in his second season, 2011, when he was also named ACC coach of the year and when Virginia was selected to participate in, but lost, the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

“I appreciate the opportunity to have been the head football coach at the University of Virginia and for the relationships that have been formed during my time in Charlottesville that will last for years to come,” London said in a statement released by the university.
