UNDATED (AP) — Virginia football coach Bronco Mendenhall is stepping down after the Cavaliers’ bowl game. The school made the announcement without explaining why the 55-year-old Mendenhall was leaving the school after a 6-6 regular season. He said only that he had to step away from college football.
Mendenhall went 36-38 at Virginia, leading the Cavaliers to five straight bowl appearances and their only Atlantic Coast Conference title game appearance two years ago.
