RICHMOND, Virginia -- Virginia Union University moved Friday to resuscitate its struggling football program by dismissing Michael Bailey, who for five years held the dual positions of head football coach and athletics director.
The school didn’t issue a formal announcement, but Bailey confirmed his departure in a brief afternoon conversation with the Times-Dispatch. He called the move “a decision the president (Dr. Claude G. Perkins) made.”

“That’s how people do business,” Bailey said. “You have to roll with it.”
Questions asked of Virginia Union’s sports information department were deflected to university relations. Calls to university relations reached only an answering machine.
Bailey, 22-28 in five seasons on Lombardy Street, said he is proud of his work teaching his players life lessons and helping them graduate. He said 18 football players graduated last year.
