CHARLOTTESVILLE — Shortly after finishing the 2010 season at 4-8, Virginia football Coach Mike London told Jon Oliver, the school’s executive associate athletic director, that he felt his players needed to be tougher, more accountable and more disciplined. “In my mind, listening to [London], I felt like it was coming down to a lot of what was happening in the weight room,” Oliver said.
