Virginia offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said Friday he will be with the team next season. "Like coach London, I too have had a number of inquires about
my future at Virginia and I am excited to let everyone know I am still a
Cavalier and will be a part of coach London's staff for the upcoming season," Lazor said in a statement.
Lazor interviewed for Tampa Bay's vacant offensive coordinator position in the NFL.
"I appreciate coach London recently allowing me the chance to
discuss a unique opportunity with an NFL team. I think all of us on his staff
appreciate the comments he made the other day about professional growth
and development. He truly cares about the people that work with him."
"In my two years in Charlottesville I have grown to appreciate
coach London, the University and the things he is doing with our football
program. We are all very privileged to work at such a fine University and to
coach a really outstanding group of young men. Yes we've made some progress, but
he have even higher goals we want to achieve and I'm excited that I will be here
to be a part of that ongoing process."
Head coach Mike London said, "I was very happy when Bill told me he was still going to be a
member of our coaching staff. He has done a wonderful job with the development
of our team and I know he believes we can make even more improvement this year.
I'm happy he will be here to help us continue to build something special at
Virginia."
