In Richmond, Va., former Virginia head coach Al Groh told the Associated Press he would succeed Dave Wommack, who was fired after two seasons as the Jackets' defensive coordinator.
Groh told the AP he had set out several criteria before deciding where he wanted to coach in 2010, and Georgia Tech meets them. The top priority was taking a job where there's a chance to win championships, he said.
Groh served nine seasons as Virginia's head coach.
