UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND -- The University of Richmond has announced
that head football coach Latrell Scott has resigned his position. Offensive coordinator Wayne Lineburg has been
named the interim head coach.
"Although the timing and circumstances are unfortunate, I am confident that

successful 2011 season," said Director of Athletics Jim Miller.
Lineburg, 37, is entering his second year back on the Richmond staff after
three seasons on the offensive staff at the University of Virginia. The
Radford, Va. native was with the Spiders for three years from 2004-06 as the
offensive coordinator and running backs coach under former head coach Dave
Clawson.
Richmond's Tuesday practice is closed. Coach Lineburg, the staff and the
football student-athletes will be unavailable for comment.
Miller will be available for comment in the Robins Center Hall of Fame Room at
7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Interim head coach Wayne Lineburg and selected student-athletes
will meet the media Wednesday at 11 a.m. at the Robins Center.
