Virginia reportedly promoting from within to fill open wide receiver coach position

Virginia is reportedly elevating senior analyst Adam Mims to serve as the program’s new wide receivers coach.

On3’s Matt Zenitz reported the move on Monday. Before landing a s

pot on Tony Elliott’s UVA staff, Mims coached wideouts at UT-Chattanooga (2019-21), Tennessee Tech (2018), and Presbyterian (2016-17). He’ll take over for Marques Hagans, who left the program last week after 12 years to join Penn State’s coaching staff.

Mims played his college ball at Furman, where he was a record-setting receiver. He closed out his career as the s

chool’s all-time leader in receptions (198) and career receiving yards (2,433). He also set the program record for single-season receptions with 74.

At Furman, Mims was coached by none other than Elliott.

The prior relationship should certainly help the Cavs. Replacing a longtime assistant like Hagans was never going to be an easy task this deep into the offseason.
