Virginia’s weekly Coach’s Corner with Tony Elliott is back on Tuesday night, and the latest stop on the schedule comes with a Homecomings-weekend feel.
The show airs from 7-8 p.m. at Dairy Market in Charlottesville, with John Freeman, the “Voice of the Cavaliers,” hosting from the food hall at 946 Grady Ave. Fans will also get a chance to hear from student-athlete guest Omillio Agard, a third-year transfer cornerback in his first season at Virginia.
Agard arrived after spending the previous two seasons at Wisconsin. In 2025, he played in 11 games and started three. Through five games with UVA, he has the fourth-best pass coverage grade on the team, a 79.2, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF).
The show also includes the usual fan interaction elements. Ticket and merchandise giveaways are part of each broadcast, and fans can win items signed by Elliott. Questions can be submitted by mentioning @JohnFreemanUVA on X.
Virginia enters the week at 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the ACC and will host Syracuse on Saturday in the annual Homecomings game at Scott Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. on ACC Network and the Virginia Sports Radio Network.
The Oct. 6 edition sits in the middle of a full Coach’s Corner schedule for 2026, which also includes appearances by Maddox Marcellus, Xavier Brown, Ethan Minter, Fisher Camac, Will Bettridge and Jekail Middlebrook. Shows are listed to air live at 7:06 p.m., with dates on the slate for Oct.
13, Oct. 20 and Oct. 27 as well. Dates are subject to change.

With conference title hopes still technically alive, the Cavaliers are now staring at a schedule that leaves little room for a misstep, and the path forward looks less like a push and more like a grind through a series of must-hold games.
Syracuse appears to be the most manageable of the group, but the rest of the slate asks for more caution, especially with North Carolina and Wake Forest in the mix.
