He is the son of Al Groh, a former head coach of the New York Jets and a longtime NFL assistant. In 2000, he served on his father's staff as an offensive assistant/quality control coach for the Jets. Groh coached at his alma mater, Virginia, for eight seasons (2001-08), including the final three years as the offensive coordinator for the Cavaliers. Groh started as the wide receivers coach before he added the role of overseeing the quarterbacks in 2003. He also added the title of recruiting coordinator in 2005. As the starting quarterback at Virginia in 1994-95, he is the only signal caller in school history to lead the Cavaliers to nine wins and a bowl victory in consecutive seasons. From 2013-2015, in Chicago, the Bears had three 1,000-yard receiving seasons under Groh with Alshon Jeffery reaching the mark in both 2013 (1,421) and 2014 (1,133) and Brandon Marshall reaching the plateau in 2013 (1,295). Jeffery finished ninth in the NFL in receiving yards (3,361) over the last three seasons under Groh's leadership. Prior to joining the Bears, Groh spent two seasons as Alabama's wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator, helping lead the Crimson Tide to back-to-back national championships, his third overall at Alabama after serving as the offensive graduate assistant in 2009. In between his stints at Alabama, Groh spent the 2010 season as the quarterbacks coach at Louisville. Show less «
