For a lot of Villanovans, Andy Talley's career on the Main Line is defined by the 2009 NCAA Championship season. That season, the fates aligned and a very talented team made it through the CAA gauntlet to grab a top seed in the postseason, and battle past CAA foes again on their way to a meeting with Montana in the title game.
When the lights go out on Coach Talley's tenure at Villanova at the completion of the 2016 season, he will be remembered both as a champion coach and as the founding father of Villanova Football 2.
