Back in 2004, neither Al Groh or Gregg Brandon could have imagined that they would some day be putting their minds together on the same football staff.

Now, the spread is coming to Charlottesville and one of its most innovative technicians, Gregg Brandon, will breathe life into it for Virginia’s Cavaliers.

The latest haul provided the Cavaliers’ football program an inside-the-park — well, inside-the-state — mammoth blast.

Needing to make a splash, Virginia coach Al Groh essentially delivered a cannonball from the high dive.

According to sources, Virginia coach Al Groh has placed former Bowling Green coach Gregg Brandon at the top of his wish list to become the Cavaliers’ new offensive coordinator.
