I'm definitely going to put them at the top of my list with Miami for best hire

Did not expect UVA of all programs to make even a basic competent hire, much less a good one. What a steal.

Great hire for UVA.

I'm shocked. Wasn't BYU his alma mater?

Maybe he felt he had hit the ceiling there.

I never foresaw him leaving BYU and especially not for the East Coast. Hell of a hire from X&O's standpoint. Recruiting and relationships will be the only question mark.

 

[HoptownVol]

Now this is a great hire IMO. Lots of respect for Bronco.

 

[Boston Vol]

Holy ****!

This is how you run a stealth coaching search. Name was never even mentioned as a candidate.

 

[Volstylexx]

Great, great hire!

 

[VolGirl81]

Wow, didn't see that coming! 3.25 mil a year. Hoos threw some $ out there.

They finally got serious.

 

[StoVol]

this blows my mind

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Wow, I didn't think he'd ever leave BYU. Great hire for UVA.

Yes

I don't think Mendenhall got along with everyone in the Administration at BYU. That coupled with what was most likely a significant pay raise (BYU doesn't report coaches salaries last I heard) I can see how this would happen. Still surprising, though.

He's only 49..younger than I thought..I thought he might leave but I thought it might be a PAC-12 school..his only job that wasn't out west was in 97 when he coached DBs at LATech

[DD4ME]

One of the three best hires so far. Like most, I never thought he'd leave for and East coast job. Great coach.

 

[VolFootballnut]
