FAU: A source tells CoachingSearch.com that Virginia Tech running backs / associate head coach Shane Beamer was the other finalist for the head coaching job. Beamer interviewed twice for the job, per source.
Don't fret though. FAU has reportedly hired Arkansas associate head coach Charlie Partridge according to the Sun Sentinel: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/fau-owls/sfl-sources-charlie-partridg....
There's been a lot of discussion here regarding Shane's future. Interviewing at FAU means Shane has bigger aspirations than associate head coach.

Associate to the head coach.
I can see a bit of Dwight Shrute in his rotation decisions at times.
Next we find out that the running backs drink beet juice instead of gatorade.
Aside from the beet-y flavor (which some would argue is a push re: Gatorade), beet juice would actually be pretty damn effective for a pre-game beverage. Lots of antioxidants, sugars, and a Wake Forest study found that as little as a cup a day increased blood flow to the brain as well as muscle and bone tissues during exercise including a reduced oxygen demand of muscular tissues during strenuous activity. Sooo...Coach Shrute FTW!!
I don't blame him, however we know how this will end.
He deserves better than FAU, though. I've heard some nasty stories coming from there
