RICHMOND, Va. (AP)—Virginia fired Al Groh after nine seasons as football coach at his alma mater Sunday, ending a tenure marked by his inability to beat rival Virginia Tech.
Groh’s dismissal came less than 24 hours after the Cavaliers (3-9, 2-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) lost 42-13 at home to the No. 11 Hokies, finishing their worst season since they were 2-9 in 1982. It also was their eighth loss to the Hokies in Groh’s nine tries.
“There is not a coach in the college game who has worked harder than Al Groh in trying to build a football program,” athletic director Craig Littlepage said in a statement. “Football is his life and he dedicated himself to the university and to our football team. We are grateful for his service and for his commitment to his players and his coaching staff.”
Groh, 65, issued a statement through the school Sunday night in which he said he felt “very fortunate” to have been given the opportunity to coach at Virginia.
“I am an ordinary guy who has been lucky to have been around some extraordinary players and coaches who put me in a position to enjoy many fulfilling games and seasons,” he said.
“I have coached Hall of Fame players, worked alongside Hall of Fame coaches, and coached in two Super Bowls, but my time as the Head Coach of the Virginia Cavaliers has been my most memorable coaching experience,” he said.
Groh had two years remaining on his contract and will receive a buyout of approximately $4.33 million, Littlepage said. The search for a replacement will begin immediately.
Groh was hired on Dec. 30, 2000, when he resigned after one season as the head coach of the New York Jets to take over at the school where he lettered in football and lacrosse, graduating in 1967. He replaced George Welsh, who had retired after 19 seasons.
Welsh, then the ACC career leader in victories, had just two losing seasons in his 19 years, but the Cavaliers finished 6-6 in his final season, prompting the change.
Groh went 59-53 with the Cavaliers and guided them to five bowl games, including four straight beginning with his second season. The team averaged eight wins over those four years, but managed just one more winning season in his last four, going 9-4 in 2007.
“My coaching philosophy and method of building teams has trust and teamwork as bedrocks. We were poised to solidify our position as a top team. Instead, as that trust and collaboration deteriorated, I could see this day coming,” he said in the statement. “We arrived with a set of principles that we have tried to remain faithful to and we leave with those principles intact.”
Groh, the ACC coach of the year in 2002 and ’07, was 36-36 in conference games.
Virginia lost its final six games this year and its last six against the Hokies, who joined the conference in 2004 and have been the league’s dominant team ever since.
Virginia’s decline was especially felt at home games, where the average attendance for 61,500-seat Scott Stadium had dropped by 13,600 in two seasons heading into Saturday afternoon’s game. That drew a season-high 58,555 fans, but nearly half of them were Hokies supporters and many chanted “Keep Al Groh!” as the final minutes ticked off the clock.
In his postgame news conference, Groh did not directly answer a question about his future, but instead read a poem, “The Guy in the Glass,” about how the most important person an individual has to please is himself. He closed with a testimonial about himself.
“When I visited the guy in the glass, I saw that he’s a guy of commitment, of integrity, of dependability and accountability,” Groh said. “He’s loyal, his spirit is indomitable and he’s caring and loving. I’m sure I will always call the guy in the glass a friend.”
Groh also read the poem to his team before meeting with the media, and besides their disappointing finish, the players were emotional about falling short in Groh’s final game.
“It’s sad to see him go like this,” defensive end Nate Collins, one of six captains on this year’s team, said afterward. “I know me and the seniors talked this week, and we were just doing everything we could to get this win for him and for the coaches, because none of the coaches know what their futures are going to be like after this game. It’s just tough.
“I hope the best for Coach Groh. I love Coach Groh like he’s a father, and he’s been a father figure to everyone here, and I don’t think anyone can really say otherwise.”
Groh began his postgame press conference with these words: “We made a pretty good go of it for a little while.”
He was talking about the game, but he might as well have been talking about his time at Virginia.

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Nothing was going right for the Philadelphia Eagles when Donovan McNabb(notes) decided to give a pep talk.
Then it was time for another comeback win.
David Akers(notes) kicked a 32-yard field goal with 1:48 remaining and the Eagles rallied for a 27-24 victory over the Washington Redskins on Sunday.
A week ago, McNabb led the Eagles (7-4) to a late touchdown in a 24-20 win at Chicago. It was the first time Philadelphia came from behind in the final quarter and won since a 33-25 victory at Washington on Nov. 11, 2007.
“We knew we can do it,” McNabb said. “We just had to get it done.”
So what did McNabb say to his teammates?
“You got to get your point across,” he said. “There’s nothing soft-spoken on the sideline. When you have a talented team, sometimes you need to bring the nasty attitude out of them.”
Akers made all four of his field goal attempts, extending his streak to 16. Asante Samuel(notes) had two interceptions and McNabb threw for 260 yards and one touchdown.
Jason Campbell(notes) had 231 yards passing and two TDs for Washington, which fell short at the end for the second straight week. The injury-depleted Redskins (3-8) lost 7-6 at Dallas last Sunday.
“It’s hard to come back after a loss like we had last week and this week,” Washington coach Jim Zorn said. “I hope that we talk sense and sanity into what we find ourselves in. And that’s difficult.”
Trying to set an early tone and perhaps underestimating the Redskins, the Eagles opened with an onside kick that backfired. Then, already playing without star running back Brian Westbrook(notes), the Eagles lost big-play receiver DeSean Jackson(notes) in the second half to a concussion.
Four straight second-half possessions lasted just three plays and the Eagles trailed 24-16 when they got the ball at their 10. Right before that, McNabb gathered the troops.
“I was proud of him just stepping up and talking over,” coach Andy Reid said. “He was into it. He said, ‘Hey, we’re scoring.”’
McNabb drove the offense 90 yards for a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. He connected with Jason Avant(notes)for 46 and 20 yards. Leonard Weaver’s(notes) 12-yard run took Philly to the 1 and set up Eldra Buckley’s(notes) first career TD run. McNabb shoveled to LeSean McCoy(notes), who broke several tackles to get the conversion.
After forcing a punt, the Eagles moved 66 yards to set up the winning kick. McNabb hit rookie Jeremy Maclin(notes) for a 35-yard gain on the drive.
“We knew we have the talent and ability to do it,” Weaver said of the comeback wins.
The Redskins played without defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth(notes) (ankle), running back Clinton Portis(notes) (concussion), tight end Chris Cooley(notes) (ankle), and cornerback DeAngelo Hall(notes) (sprained MCL).
But they still pushed the Eagles to the end.
“It’s definitely frustrating in a lot of ways, just the way we lose,” Campbell said. “To see all the guys give a great effort, all the guys out there fighting, a lot of teams would have packed it in. But these guys fight to the end. There’s no giving up.”
The Redskins went ahead 21-16 on their first possession in the second half, driving 80 yards on nine plays and converting three times on third-and-long. Campbell hit Fred Davis(notes) for 29 yards on third-and-10, then completed a 35-yard pass to Devin Thomas(notes) on third-and-7 before connecting with Davis on a 10-yard TD pass on another third-and-7.
Justin Tryon’s(notes) interception set up Shaun Suisham’s(notes) 25-yard field goal that made it 24-16.
Samuel intercepted Campbell for the second time in the final minute of the first half and returned it 17 yards to the Redskins 28. Akers nailed a 41-yarder for a 16-14 lead.
The Redskins needed just four plays to find the end zone after Quinton Ganther(notes) returned the opening onside kick 25 yards to the Eagles 24. Campbell scored on a 1-yard run.
Akers kicked a 29-yarder to cut it to 7-3 just after Michael Vick(notes) nearly scored his first TD since 2006, running 4 yards to the 1.
Notes: McNabb set a team record for quarterbacks by playing in his 143rd game. He was tied with Ron Jaworski. … The Redskins have lost nine straight road games. … Jackson’s status is uncertain. Westbrook missed two games with a concussion, returned and sustained another one in his first game back.
NEW YORK (AP)—NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reportedly will expand restrictions on returning to games for players who sustain head trauma.
Fox Sports reported Sunday that Goodell will issue a memo this week to all 32 teams expanding grounds for the removal of a player with a head injury or concussion.
Currently, a player can return to the game after being diagnosed with a concussion if he is asymptomatic at rest and under exertion, and is cleared by the team doctor. The lone exception is if the medical staff determines the player lost consciousness, in which case he is ruled out for the remainder of the game.
The report said that if a player is “woozy, has general dementia or memory loss,” Goodell wants him barred from returning to a game.
“We are continuing to review all aspects of our guidelines on concussion management and treatment,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said.
The league would not comment on the Fox report.
The Steelers made Ben Roethlisberger(notes) their third quarterback for Sunday night’s game in Baltimore after he sustained his fourth concussion since 2006 in a loss at Kansas City last weekend. Roethlisberger practiced this week, but began experiencing headaches resulting from the concussion. He was examined Saturday by an independent neurologist, a practice the Steelers have used for years in dealing with head injuries, before the team decided to bench him.
The Associated Press this month conducted a survey of 160 NFL players— about 10 percent of the league—and 30 replied that they have hidden or played down the effects of a concussion.
The NFL says its data show an average of one reported concussion every other game—about 120 to 130 concussions per regular season. Of the 160 players interviewed by the AP, half said they’ve had at least one concussion playing football; 61 said they missed playing time because of the injury.
