New Virginia Coach Pops Up in School Directory

Hey, remember those bizarro rumors about Romeo Crennel being next in line at UVA if and when Al Groh gets the heave-ho? We laughed, we cried, we learned a little about ourselves. Of course, most of us sort of knew it was about as much of a pipe dream as you could imagine, and for the UVA fan, that means "a dream where you get repeatedly bashed with a pipe."

So why is the latest addition to Virginia's coaching staff all kinds of cloak and dagger? Is it because Bob Trott's (above) last job was UNDER ROMEO CRENNEL WITH THE BROWNS!?!?! According to the faculty guide at Virginia, Trott is now, well, part of the faculty. The only problem is that no announcement has been made about a hire by the sports information director.

Hmm.

It's unclear what exact role he'll play (now that Ron Prince is the special teams guy and until further notice, Al Groh is the defensive coordinator), but linebacker coach is open, so why not? If Virginia's as bad as some are predicting this year, it might just be a Delta House-style blowout for Groh and his pals in the face of the gallows.
