Bronco Mendenhall led BYU to 99-wins in his eleven seasons in Provo.
UVa has won 56-games over that same time period.
Mendenhall says, "Virginia reminds me a lot of BYU when I was named the head coach here. I see tremendous chance for growth and opportunity. I like to build. I like challenge. I like growth. I like learning. I see a fantastic challenge and opportunity with real and tangible results that can happen. College athletes, they work hard. I would love to have that team see what it feels like to win, and win a lot. And get great grades. And learn and grow as people. I'm anxious for that to happen, and I see that capability. I like that opportunity."
