The Virginia football program took a step forward in 2010 during head coach Mike London’s first season at the helm. London and the rest of the coaching staff plan to build on this season’s foundation, shoring up weak spots and continuing to improve in areas of success. While reflecting on last season, the coaches will get a clear picture of what worked, what didn’t, and what needs to change.
This past season saw the introduction of new systems on offense and defense, and there have been mixed results. As the program moves forward, the staff will have to take both the positive and negative aspects into account, as well as the personnel available.
