Impressed by the job Shane has done in Columbia. I was never a "Shane guy".

By that I mean that I was never advocating for him to come here and be the head coach. And I'm still not. While there is no guarantee that he would have been as successful here, I give the man credit for what he's done as a first time head coach. I don't yearn for him to come here, but wish him well when they aren't playing the Hokies or one of my side teams.

Shane Beamer inks new contract at $8 mil/year**
JerseyHokie84 • 01/24/25 10:13 AM ET
8 million, but only 100k annual increases thereafter?
Hokie1992 • 01/25/25 07:26 AM ET
Good Coach..happy for him..
JRHokie • 01/24/25 11:52 PM ET
Happy to see a fellow Hokie alum finding success & financial rewards**
HOaKIE • 01/24/25 04:06 PM ET
He should send a big donation to his Alma mater. **
Hokietech • 01/24/25 04:39 PM ET
His temper tantrum during/after bowl game must have iced the deal
Scream_On_D • 01/24/25 03:32 PM ET
$8 mil a year for a 29-22 coach. This sport has too much money
HokieAl • 01/24/25 03:25 PM ET
Wasn’t he SEC coach of the year? Plus he’s won more games in his first 4
Hokie`79 • 01/24/25 07:20 PM ET
Yes. He was the AP’s 2024 SEC Coach of the Year. **
Zanderhokie • 01/25/25 03:14 AM ET
Don't seem worth 8 mil to you, it is a very free market right now and
vtox1 • 01/24/25 04:09 PM ET
Feel like he's going to be the SEC's Jeff Fisher. Never great or terrible.**
VTizzle • 01/24/25 02:09 PM ET
Guess he's not gonna be our DC**
WildTurkE • 01/24/25 01:38 PM ET
Once Shane has two back to back 7 win seasons, it will all be over at USC.
jonnyhawk • 01/24/25 12:51 PM ET
Shane doesn't want any part of the VT job. He's smarter than that.**
great2bahokie • 01/24/25 01:47 PM ET
He has life time financial security with that buyout
tallahasseehokie • 01/24/25 03:03 PM ET
If things went south at USC, coming to VT would look pretty good.
jonnyhawk • 01/24/25 02:50 PM ET
He's been to the big city and won't be coming home
tallahasseehokie • 01/24/25 03:06 PM ET
I don't think we'll see him here anytime soon
UberHOKIE • 01/24/25 01:08 PM ET
He is not losing to Oklahoma**
BamBam • 01/24/25 12:58 PM ET
You think he will make a contribution to VT**
RiverVT • 01/24/25 11:45 AM ET
That would be awesome! He's one of our wealthy alums, hit him up for

Maroon Baboon • 01/24/25 11:07 AM ET
Well said. I feel the same way, on all counts. **
Boblope • 01/24/25 12:47 PM ET
Moreover, the expanded CFP benefits programs like South Carolina.
Maroon Baboon • 01/24/25 07:01 PM ET
Yup, he could have easily fizzled out here and gotten fired, yet he's at
BG Hokie • 01/24/25 12:25 PM ET
Still in middle of SEC pack- unreal **
tallahasseehokie • 01/24/25 10:51 AM ET
exactly many fans dont realize thats the new baseline for head coaches
1947Sunbowl • 01/24/25 05:26 PM ET
There goes the Shane to VT dream for everyone. **
97Hokie • 01/24/25 10:20 AM ET
Why not come to VT. Better shot at making the CFP than at SC
hokiealum86 • 01/24/25 12:56 PM ET
Not happening **
949hokie • 01/25/25 12:09 PM ET
With that line of thinking every coach should be going to the ACC and Big12
97Hokie • 01/24/25 07:50 PM ET
Because VT is probably 10 years away from being able to pay out HC 8 mil/yr**
ChrisLords • 01/24/25 03:01 PM ET
And at this rate that's what a top OC or DC will be making, with players
VPI_1998 • 01/25/25 05:00 AM ET
We couldn't afford him.
YBYSAIAHokie • 01/24/25 10:17 AM ET
Why cant we afford him???**
1947Sunbowl • 01/24/25 10:38 AM ET
He will make $8M annually
HokieKick`nBack • 01/24/25 12:05 PM ET
use the diff of 4 mil to buy players**
