Is this it for Al Groh at Virginia? Tommy Tuberville tried it at Auburn and it didn’t work. Phillip Fulmer tried it at Tennessee and it didn’t work. Both men tried radically changing their offenses in an effort to pump up a struggling program. Groh brought in Gregg Brandon, the former Urban Meyer assistant at Bowling Green who became head coach when Meyer left for Utah. The spread has not worked. In its first game with William & Mary, Virginia had seven turnovers. In the second game with TCU, the Cavaliers had only seven first downs and did not run an offensive play inside the Horned Frogs’ 20-yard line. So it is hard to believe things will get better Saturday at Southern Miss (2-0). But know these two facts: If Virginia forces Groh out, it owes him $4.5 million. Virginia president John Casteen, who has supported Groh in the past, is set to retire in August. – CBS Sports
