The University of Richmond announced today the hiring of UR graduate and former UR coach Mike London as their new football coach.

London, 47, has spent six of the past seven seasons molding one of the nation’s top defenses at the University of Virginia. He returned to Charlottesville in 2006 after spending the previous season as the defensive line coach with the NFL’s Houston Texans. London was a member of Al Groh’s original staff at UVa from 2001-04, coaching the defensive line. He was also the program’s recruiting coordinator from 2002-04.
We are thrilled to have Mike lead our football program,” said Miller. “He has proven himself as a talented football coach and great recruiter, while experiencing football at its highest level. Having played, graduated and coached at Richmond, we are confident that Mike is a perfect fit for the University and will continue to attract student-athletes that reflect his same qualities.”
