Perhaps an interesting development with my fun with public records requests efforts involving UVA Athletics, this one on the contract extension that former UVA Lacrosse coach Lars Tiffany says he signed before he was sacked.
Against my better judgment, I filed a request with the UVA FOIA office seeking “a copy of the three-year contract extension that was offered to Lars Tiffany, at the time the UVA Men’s Lacrosse coach, in July 2025, which Tiffany’s camp says he signed on March 24, 2026.”
I assumed this had about a 0.01 percent chance of leading to anything, but what the hell, the worst they can do is say no.
Here’s what I got back today:
We continue to process your request and are awaiting a response from the departmental records custodian. We respectfully request additional time to respond to, on or before June 24, 2026.
I’m feeling right now like Lloyd Christmas in “Dumb and Dumber.”
So, you’re telling me there’s a chance.
ICYMI: UVA Lacrosse
- Lars Tiffany is out as head coach, and no one knows why, for sure
- Lars Tiffany says he signed the extension: UVA Lacrosse is a total mess now
- Williams stays in-house, names Kevin Cassese head coach
- Kevin Cassese signs for a lot less than Lars Tiffany was getting
