4 years ago they said he had no credentials to be UVA’s head coach. He just put his head down and begin building a culture of H.E.A.R.T. Humility Effort Accountability Respect Toughness
3 years ago, unimaginable tragedy came on this leader. He focused intensely on the needs of the families, players and others directly impacted, even though he also felt the impact deeply. Where was he 2 weeks ago? Once again, in the courthouse quietly using his presence as comfort.
2 years ago, he ended a season with confidence that a winning structure was being built, while his critics with short memories impatiently demanded “win now!”
1 year ago, as he was labeled a “DEI hire”, he took solace in one of his favorite verses:
“The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.””
1 Samuel 16:7 NIV
3 months ago, as some predicted a 5 win season or worse and wished that UVA could make bold hires like UNC, he embarked on a mission of being 1-0 each week.
Last night, while he received the congrats of fans, in his heart it was all about 1-15-41, their families, Mike Hollins, Marlee Morgan and the entire UVA community. Because this man is a true servant leader!
Go Hoos! 🔶🔷 @UVAFootball
The CFB landscape will never be the same in VA. TIME WILL TELL, but this story started in a dark, dark place in November of 2022. This staff stayed together, and the culture is cemented in the right VALUES. To those who remain, THANK YOU.
Congrats to Virginia on a story book season, making it to the ACC title game. No team in America has overcome more over the last four years https://t.co/qIh2cHSHxZ

Love the fact that so many people cannot/will not wrap their heads around the UVA loss against NC State. No one was hiding the fact that it was not a conference game. You had the facts and now it’s a problem? Win your games and maybe you wouldn’t have to run your mouth. WAHOOWA
