He's "expressed interest in" a few vacancies (WVU and Clemson), and interviewed for others (Pitt and almost Vandy), but let's not forget that once upon a time, Beamer "expressed interest in" going to UNC. How do we know he really gave his all to try and get hired, rather than merely using these situations to bolster his position at Tech?

Context also matters. Clemson already had Swinney as an interim head coach. Same thing with Stewart at WVU. Pitt took Todd Graham when Foster didn't show for the interview in 2010, which likely influenced them not hiring him in 2011 after Graham left and he DID interview.

I was thinking the same thing. And a smaller movement to start to get their attention, and then before it registers, then ya get after 'em.

This was funny, but dude kept trying to get them way too early. Shoulda kept still for a few more moments on most of them

Thanks man!

Couldn't agree more on this. My guess is (and has been) that Beamer himself doesn't even know when he's going to hang it up. It could be after this season or he could very well end up outlasting a few of the coaches who supposedly use the "Beamer is gonna retire soon" to negative recruit against VT.

chips wine in kill devil hills and trio in kitty hawk have very good selections. trio does have 24 taps and does growlers.

obx brewing station is a nice stop too.b avoid weeping radish.

so much to choose from. if ipas, honestly how fresh they are is almost as important as who makes it. I like drinking good local as best I can. at this point, I'm drinking canned session ipas oskar blues pinner and Firestone walker easy jack a lot at the pool. At home whatever wild ale (sour), barrel aged stout or DIPA I can get.

I'm not sure exact obx distro, but they have some you can't get in va.

also, alesmith from San Diego is now sold in va. stone, Firestone, ballast point ... hard to go wrong with their ipas.

That's my take on Dam Lager as well... great hot weather / yard work kind of beer.

Bull & Bones St Mauve Stout is among the best beers I've ever tasted.

From another thread:

Scenario #1: From another thread I stated:

I'm gonna say it now (and I may be wrong, but my gut says this): When Whit and Frank agree its time for Frank to retire (and Whit has a # of years max built into that to help hold this together), Bud will be HC and TG will be the DC.

For this scenario OC depends on how Loeffler does over the next 2 years.

Scenario 4: The new HC is Shane Beamer. There are 2 things I have seen recently that make this a possibility:
A. How the players reacted to Shane has the acting head coach on the sideline during and after the Military Bowl, it was positive in many ways.
B. The following linked video: Beamer Family This is Home Video
This is as much an introduction to Shane by the University for that role as much as it is a statement about the Beamer family's feelings about VT as home.
C. Frank Beamer is about his family. VT is a big part of his family but its secondary to his blood family.
I think Shane needs more experience, but this is a scenario that cannot be fully discounted.

I think Bud's tweet of his DC position is more about recruiting than anything. Also, Frank's statement in the same interview is that he'd like to keep doing HC "for a while longer". These statements are about optics. VT is a state university so they have to do a public search for an HC when the time comes. But as stated, it's Whit's decision.

I'll take VT Head Coach Scenario 1 for $1000 Alex.

Classic Rock most of the day, especially Tom Petty and CCR if it's warm. About 3-4 hours before the game transition over to party music. Start with some chill rap and build up to rap/raging music. Make sure to include plenty of Nelly and any song that all the hammered tailgaters can sing along to.
