Frank Beamer 2018 HOF inductee

I guess I'm not TKP'ing hard enough, because I haven't seen any threads under Active Discussions that speak to Coach's 1st ballot induction into the HOF last night. What a great honor! The funny part is that he was 2-8-1 (granted with scholly limitations) in his 6th year, I know college sports are completely different nowadays, but I think he would've taken Fuente's 3rd year, that year, over a record like that. Just goes to show how far patience can take a fanbase. I know there are tons of analytics that are available nowadays that weren't back then, but I think after the effort the guys gave in the last two years, we can ONLY HOPE that we have another long term coach like Beamer already in house. Enough about Coach Fu' though. Congrats to one of the best college coaches ever (if just by personality and longevity). Cheers to you sir!

Beamer won 238 games for his alma mater, seven conference championships — three in the Big East and four in the ACC — and reached the 2000 BCS national championship game. He established a bowl streak, now in its 26th straight season, and a double-digit win streak over rival Virginia. His overall 280-143-4 record ranks sixth among FBS coaches. (Men lie, women lie, numbers don't)
