Short article about Beamer's 28th Season as VT's Head Coach. A lot of questions about when he will retire addressed in here.

I think this comes across, but I really enjoy my job right now. I feel like the same guy I was 10 years ago. ... Youve got things to look forward to, Frank Beamer said. I think Ill know when its the right time. I dont think about it very much. I think when youre enjoying yourself, life is good. When youre not enjoying yourself ...

He paused.

I think Ill know when Im not a positive influence on this program.

Also, some good quotes from Mack Brown and Jim Grobe on Beamer.

I lost it right here:

Ballein noticed a street sign with a radar gun on campus had picked up his speed during a morning jog. Beamer wanted proof of how fast Ballein could go. After several tries, Ballein got up to 13 mph. Before he knew it, Beamer, 67, came barreling down Washington Street as fast as he could on a knee that was replaced in 2008.

It kept flashing, 6, 6, 6. It was priceless, Ballein said. Thats the competitive side in him.

Whit seems to really be pushing media. I don't remember this much talk about Beamer or VT football.
