Frank Beamer comments on Wide Receiver Coach Search

Frank Beamer conducted a short interview on Beamerball.com where he discussed the search for replacing Aaron Moorehead. In the interview, he discusses Moorehead's tenure at Virginia Tech and his reasons for leaving. He also highlighted the first team meeting of the 2015 season and briefly discussed the seven early enrollees. You can read the interview at http://www.beamerball.com/free/news.htm

Most significantly, Beamer discussed the coaching search for Moorehead's replacement.

No, we have a sense of urgency on finding our next receivers coach. John Ballein and I worked all weekend on our strategic approach and finalizing our list. You have to recruit, care about our kids, fit in with our staff and fit the culture here at Virginia Tech. Matter of fact, Ive included some of our players in the search process. Theyre going to meet with the candidates and I look forward to their feedback. So, this is a position I want to fill immediately and hope to do so quickly. Weve been very proactive and productive in the talks weve had to this point and I anticipate this process will move quickly. I dont like having holes in our coaching staff and we need our staff complete as we wrap up recruiting and begin winter workouts. We have a ton of interest in this position and Im confident well find the right guy.

I thought it was interesting that he included his players in the discussion. Some have mentioned Ron Duggans, who was involved in Isaiah Ford's recruitment at Louisville as a possible candidate. The quote also seems to affirm that Whit Babcock is letting Beamer make the decision about his staff.
