RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Mike London has resigned as the football coach at Virginia after six seasons.
Athletic director Craig Littlepage says in a release from the school that he met with London on Sunday morning and both agreed that a change was in the best interest of the program.
The move comes one day after Virginia lost 23-20 to state rival Virginia Tech, its 12th consecutive loss in the series. It left London with a 27-46 record at the school.
Littlepage did not specify a time-frame for naming a successor, noting that some candidates could be involved in postseason play.
London’s contract runs through 2016. He will be paid approximately $2.7 million through next season.
