RICHMOND, Virginia (Ticker) -- The University of Richmond on
Saturday named Mike London its new football coach.
The 47-year-old London, who has spent six of the last seven
seasons coaching Virginia's defensive line, becomes the 33rd
coach in Richmond's history. He also spent the 2005 campaign as
the Houston Texans' defensive line coach.
"We are thrilled to have Mike lead our football program,"
Spiders director of athletics Jim Miller said. "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."
The hiring of London marks the first time at Richmond since the
Ed Merrick era (1951-65) that an alumnus has led the football
program.
