Mike London Record at UVA

I cannot take credit for this, as this was posted by a crying Wahoo. This is eye opening about just howwide the gap is between the two schools. Someone needs to tweet this kind of stuff to young recruits.

- In 44 games as UVA's head coach, Mike London is 18-26.
- Of those 18 wins, 5 are against lowly FCS foes (VMI twice, Richmond twice, and William & Mary)
- Of the remaining 13 wins, only 11 are against BCS conference teams (the other two being Eastern Michigan and Idaho).
- Overall during his tenure here, London's teams have been outscored in BCS conference games by a total of 962-663, which comes out to an average of 28.3 to 19.5 (over the span of 34 BCS conf. games)
- Losses to non-BCS teams include Southern Miss (home), Ball State (home), Louisiana Tech (home); oh, and the win over Idaho mentioned above was in OT at home (21-20).
- In nearly 4 seasons, London has managed to beat just ONE team that finished ranked in the top-25, #23 FSU, Jimbo Fisher's most underachieving team to-date.
- In 51 cumulative weeks across nearly 4 seasons, UVA has managed to break into the top-25 just once, at #25, for a game in which the Hoos lost 38-0 to Virginia Tech at home.
- Cutcliffe's Duke is 3-1 against Virginia under London.
- #23, 25, 29th ranked recruiting classes the last three years. In comparison, Louisville had the 29th, 44th, and 36th ranked classes during that same period. You know, the same Louisville program that is 31-15 since 2010 and won a BCS Bowl against #3 Florida last year.
- Outscored by VT 92-21 since 2010, going 0-3 in that span.
- 2-12 against our rivals (VT, UNC, MD, and Duke, which I included for laughs).
- 12 of 26 losses were by 19 points or more, and 5 losses by 30 points or more (two of which were against in-state rival VT).
- Mike London is the 22nd highest paid coach in the country, making $2.6 million per year.
- By rough estimation (could be off), London has made $480,000 per win since arriving at UVA, or $782,000 per BCS-conference win. By comparison, Ball State's coach, Pete Lembo (who already beat London this year), makes $400,000 total PER YEAR. Oh, and he already has the Cardinals bowl-eligible at 7-1.
