WRIC tracked down Frank Beamer and what's keeping him busy during retirement. To no one's surprise, Beamer's allocating some of his time to enrich the local Blacksburg community.
And it's subjective, but Frank's appearance, complexion and demeanor seems much better than I remember during the season.

Frank Beamer: even in retirement #Winning
All jokes aside: being able to get to bed early and sleep in does wonders for your health. Football coaches don't have that luxury.
And less stress from not having to manage a high-expectations team year in and out.
I saw him at the General Assembly about a month ago and thought it was the healthiest he had looked in 4-5 years. Weight looked healthier and everything, had a bounce in his step. Surely less stress helps health haha
I'm glad to see Papa Beamer doing well and looking healthy and happy.
The Big Bad Wolf, he will really get after ya.
And to think, some say Beamer doesn't care about recruiting.
I'm hoping he walked out of that classroom while handing out no less than 3 scholarship offers for 2027
Let's be real, he's not Mike London.
his mother would be so proud (as we all are, too)
Still being a coach - life coach. If you listen to his quote "get back to the fundamentals and read"
Man I love the fact that he is going to be the grandpa for all our future players. He is shaping up to be the cool gramps with all the cool stories of yesteryears!
