The University of Virginia has called a press conference for Monday in which it is expected to name University of Richmond coach Mike London as the new head football coach at UVa.

London has led UR to a 24-5 record in his two seasons at his alma mater, and won the 2008 I-AA national championship.

His ’09 Spiders lost on Saturday in the I-AA quarterfinals to Appalachian State by a 35-31 final score.

London, 49, served two stints on the staff of departed UVa. coach Al Groh, from 2001-2005 and 2006-2007. He was the recruiting coordinator on Groh’s staff from 2002-2004.

London was long rumored to have been a top choice at UVa. in the event that Groh was to be let go following the 2009 season. Groh was fired on Nov. 29, the day after a 42-13 loss to Virginia Tech finished a 3-9 ’09 season that was the third losing season in the last four for Groh at UVa.
