What are you talking about? We are discussing qualifications for VT HC

I'm providing factual evidence of why Shane Beamer's resume has weaknesses that should prevent him from seriously being considered in any final list of candidates by VT.

BOV Selection Committee..for a new coach
JRHokie 10/24/25 02:23 PM ET
Stoops and Beamer seem to have interest by the committee that are rejected
ChrisLords 10/24/25 03:08 PM ET
Agents plant all kinds of info for all kinds of reasons.**
marcbvtgm 10/24/25 05:48 PM ET
Beamer being rejected is stupid
hokiepro 10/24/25 03:29 PM ET
If his name wasnt beamer he would ve bland

We have been 62-59 since Beamer. I don't think the problem is Beamer.
vivitron73 10/24/25 07:01 PM ET
Not at all part of the problem**
hokiehowl 10/24/25 07:11 PM ET
So if his name was Jones and he was an SEC COTY, he would be bland?**
VTCALS72 10/24/25 06:56 PM ET
So one year at 9-4 (5-3) is good enough for you?
HokieAl 10/24/25 04:23 PM ET
Because the SEC schedule is pretty damn tough.

Let me ask you a question. How many coaches in college football today
vivitron73 10/24/25 04:45 PM ET
Lots of coaches would do equally well or better with the resources at SC
HokieAl 10/24/25 05:14 PM ET
So who is your top guy that is realistic? Care to "speculate"?**
vivitron73 10/24/25 05:17 PM ET
No I don't know enough coaches across CFB FBS/FCS or NFL to speculate
HokieAl 10/24/25 05:21 PM ET
Then you can't know there are "lots" of them?**
VTCALS72 10/24/25 06:58 PM ET
Shane has solid credentials :P
vivitron73 10/24/25 05:23 PM ET
Barring a miracle finish,he will have losing seasons in 2 of the last 3 yrs
Gobbler Guru 10/24/25 03:55 PM ET
I hope shiny objects and unwarranted hubris doesn’t get in the way.**
Hokiefied 10/24/25 04:26 PM ET
Who is this Shane Smith you speak of and has he won anywhere previously?**
Sunsetunderground 10/24/25 04:25 PM ET
What does that have to do with anything? I thought we were trying to move
bburgnative 10/24/25 03:39 PM ET
Your comment against Beamer has no substance.
hokiehowl 10/24/25 05:13 PM ET
The record. That's what matters. **
40ozDistrict 10/24/25 05:55 PM ET
I thought we were trying to be good again and whether that is a Beamer
vivitron73 10/24/25 03:43 PM ET
The second that lineage is in HC job, is the second John Ballien still…
Hokiefied 10/24/25 03:48 PM ET
Another ignorant comment**
hokiehowl 10/24/25 05:14 PM ET
Oh do tell: Which part?**
Hokiefied 10/24/25 05:24 PM ET
More wins than Spurrier at SC, top 10 wins, and 1 of the few P2 candidates
vivitron73 10/24/25 03:51 PM ET
Huh? What info are you looking at? Spurrier at SC was far superior
HokieAl 10/24/25 04:16 PM ET
Shane had 29 after 4 seasons and Spurrier had 28. That is a SC record.**
vivitron73 10/24/25 04:23 PM ET
I will say on a 5 year trajectory Spurrier will end up with more, but the
vivitron73 10/24/25 04:26 PM ET
When Shane wins a Natty like Spurrier call me
Hokiefied 10/24/25 04:11 PM ET
No one is saying Shane is better than Spurrier. That is foolishness.
vivitron73 10/24/25 05:00 PM ET
Bob Chesney is a more proven football coach than Shane w/15 years as a HC
Hokiefied 10/24/25 05:23 PM ET
I have Chesney very high on my list. Above Shane actually so no argument.**
vivitron73 10/24/25 05:27 PM ET
If VT can’t attract Chesney & his staff, might as well go FCS
Hokiefied 10/24/25 05:37 PM ET
Hard to tell. Kiffin may open Ole Miss, UNC could open, Nebraska if Rhule
vivitron73 10/24/25 05:42 PM ET
Spurrier won a Natty at USCe ? wow who knew ? **
