Could someone answer a question for me. I haven't lived in the great state of Virginia in 15 years, so maybe I'm out of the loop. The closest University to me is Tennessee. For the past few years I've had to listen to people in this area gripe about a coach who has only won an average of 9 games a year, won one national title, and brought stability to a program in an age where that's almost unheard of. I'm no fanboy of Phillip Fulmer, but geez.... Does that kinda of talk go on in Blacksburg? Every time my beloved Hokies blow a game that they should win, I have to hear the local Volunteer fans tell me how we need a new coach. I'll be honest, it embarassed the crap out of me when they blew a 21 pt. lead to Georgia two years ago and last year when they didn't even show up until the second half in the Orange Bowl, but without Beamer who even knows where we would be?

i hear alot of the same talk after we lose a big game---usually a bowl game cuz we pretty much dominate in conference play. but i have to admit these fans who gripe about strategy, etc when we lose have never said a bad thing about frank beamer. honestly, most of the heat ? griping the last few years has been about the offensive play calling of brian stinespring.

personally, i have met frank beamer. and nobody, i mean NOBODY represents Tech with more class and dignity than he does. he can be our HC for as long as he wants IMO

That's great to hear, I'm glad to know I'm not alone in my thoughts that he will take us to the promised land one day. lol

I wouldn't take anyone else in the country over Beamer. He steps up WHENEVER it's necessary to represent for Tech...no matter what the cause or crisis is. He's also a pretty fair football coach....

Yea the only heat i hear about Beamer is from other schools that he brings nothing but thugs in and that they need to get rid of him for that. I wouldn't want anyone as our head coach except Beamer. When he does decide to leave VT i hope Foster is still here and takes over in his position. That would be best for VT but as long as Beamer wants to stay I'd let him. Like he said though Steinspring gets most of the bad talk from fans. He doesn't call enough running plays.

Beamer is the man.  Plain and simple.  However, the O Coordinator drove me nuts in the Orange Bowl seats.  Terrible game planning.
