He's done more than hint at it...he's flat out said it:
"The thing I let him know though, I'm not a status quo guy. I'm not going to be Frank Beamer. I'm going to carry on the foundation that Frank Beamer started and build on it. Just like Tom Osborne did for Bob Devaney, or Jimbo Fisher after Bobby Bowden. We built something here and I'm a big part of that."
Also read on here in some thread that he would prefer a more high-octane offense if he were HC
it's got curtains....classy, gotta be him
Looks like it's Fedora, flight from Chapel Hill to Blacksburg, the morning of the announcement. That's a wrap. /s
to address one of your questions:
WP
Wolfolk said Babcock promised the Hokies would have a new coach in place before Wolfolk enrolls early in January, and that the plan was for this new coach to visit him and Virginia Tech's other 2016 prospects some time in December.
caught a radio interview by Rhule one day last week, was really impressed with him. He seems to have the same kind of work ethic, and family value type characteristics that Beamer has instilled in VT for nearly 3 decades.

# | ESPN Subtly Fans the Flames on Rich Rodriguez to Virginia Tech Rumor I sent an email to Whit today mentioning this very point...Frank said himself he is retiring, in part to keep Hokie Nation united as there was a growing split between those of us who wanted him to stay, and the folk who wanted him to get the boot.
I think hiring RichRod would create a bigger divide among fans than Frank staying another year or two. I'd like to have a head coach that I, and the rest of the fans can respect. When I look at RR, i just see a sleazeball.

Sources tell FOX Sports that Babcock will likely hire Beamer's successor from out of house.

# | Share you Favorite Non-Football Frank Beamer Memory or Story My one and only encounter with Coach Beamer was at the south main street ABC store, he was buying a bunch of airplane bottles of Wild Turkey we talked for a minute, dont remember about what...first time I ever really felt star struck talking to someone but I do remember he was very down to earth, easy to chat with, and didn't mind getting held up for an extra minute to talk with a fan.

# | Corey Marshall Defends Frank Beamer, Travon McMillian on Kevin Jones, and Bud Foster Previews BC Sparked my curiousity, so i decided to look it up
Jeff King - 58 Rec for 724 yds

Through 1.5 seasons of play Hodges now has 66 Rec for 875 yds

Cline has (1.5 years) 30 for 362
152 Rec for 1804 yds on the roster today with 5.5 years of eligibility left between the three
Gruden?
He has said in the past he would prefer a high-octane offense
I bet he does, after all those years of the defense carrying the the team to 10 wins
I'm not going to get into the should or shouldn't he go side of the argument. I'm torn on that one. BUT if this is Beamer's last year, I do hope that they announce it sooner than later in order to get a jump on some of the hot names out there, rather than being stuck with the leftovers after everyone else makes their hires.

# | ESPN Subtly Fans the Flames on Rich Rodriguez to Virginia Tech Rumor So RichRod is responsible for Bama becoming what they have been for the past few years?? I really don't like him now.

# | The Blue Devils Went Down to Blacksburg: Virginia Tech vs. Duke Preview but mainly that they would run their house blitz in critical situations (3rd and longs, 4th down plays)
sounds like we're going to be seeing a lot of blitzing
He's Duke's leading rusher with 53.5 yards per game and he's scored twice on the ground.
Crrraaaaaappppp
this team is going to wallop somebody they shouldn't (Duke, probably)
who would have ever thought those words would be said.

# | Buzzketball to hold open scrimmage November 4th at 6:00 PM 
I really like this move by Buzz, reminds me the kind of fan involvement Greenberg used to do, but one step further
My bad, didn't see it skimming through and not reading through 208 posts to see if it was there already.
