Virginia’s offensive coordinator Robert Anae no longer with program; Jason Beck will call plays in bowl game

By Jerry Ratcliffe

Robert Anae, who served as Virginia’s offensive coordinator during the Bronco Mendenhall era, is no longer with the program.

Quarterbacks coach Jason Beck will be the designated play-caller for Virginia’s bowl game against SMU in Boston later this month. The team began preparation for the game on Saturday.

Anae, oft-maligned for some of his offensive strategies, guided the Cavaliers to record-breaking numbers this season, but came under fire for controversial play-calling at critical junctures of games.
