This fall marks the first season that the football players on the current University of Richmond roster were not members of the national championship team, but the effects of the 2008 win are stronger now than they were five years ago.

Along with other members of the University of Richmond community, I am greatly disappointed to hear the news that coach Mike London will be leaving Richmond for the head coach position in football at the University of Virginia. I highly respect our athletic director, Jim Miller, in his ability to recruit a coach with such a good fit for our university. As a further credit to Jim Miller, London came to Richmond from a non-head coach position. This is less disruptive to other athletic programs than to pluck a high-achieving head coach from a smaller program. The cascading effect of coaches moving from one program to another seems to be a trap Richmond is caught in too often.

Rather, there was a hint of fatalism surrounding the entire affair, a knowledge that as much as I love this university and as much as men like London have professed to love it as well, Richmond is still seen as a mere stepping stone for those with aspirations for greater fame and fortune.
