Lineburg Departs Richmond For UConn
UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond head football coach Danny Rocco announced on Monday that Associate Head Coach Wayne Lineburg resigned to take a position at the University of Connecticut.
"Wayne has done an outstanding job here for us at the University of Richmond,” Spider head coach Danny Rocco remarked. “He was a great representative of our University, our football program and he has certainly been very loyal to me. We appreciate his efforts and wish Wayne and his family the very best in his newest challenge."
After serving as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for two seasons, Lineburg was named interim head coach for the Spiders for the 2011 season. For the last two years, Lineburg was the associate head coach, running backs coach and recruiting coordinator.
