Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall stepping down after bowl | |

The surprising announcement came in a news release Thursday and gave no explanation as to why the 55-year-old Mendenhall was leaving the school after a 6-6 regular season. There was no mention of retirement. In a hastily organized conference call with reporters, Mendenhall said: "I need to step back from college football." MORE | |
