Teel crushed this story and its great to read that Frank is living large in retirement as a grandfather to both his grandkids and football program.

Also, Frank was candid about how his age hurt Virginia Tech recruiting.
Among the reasons: As his career waned, Beamer became acutely aware that rivals used his age against Tech in recruiting.
"If it cost you two or three recruits in a year, and then multiply that by four or five years, that's the difference between being an average team and an above-average team," he said. "And we'd been an above-average team for so long. Then we were average too long. It got to be every loss just ripped your heart out, and every win you said, 'Thank goodness,' and get on to the next week. So you didn't enjoy the wins, and the losses were so hard. And you do that for a number of years ... it wears on you."
