Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, who guided the Hokies to 22 straight winning seasons and 22 consecutive bowl appearances, told his coaching staff on Sunday that he’s retiring at the end of the season, according to sources.
Beamer informed his staff of his decision during a meeting Sunday morning, and he was expected to inform his players of his retirement later in the day.
During an appearance at ESPN in July, Beamer told ESPN that he would prefer that someone on his current coaching staff — either longtime defensive coordinator Bud Foster or associate head coach/running backs coach Shane Beamer, his son — replace him when he retired as the Hokies’ coach.
Some early names being floated for the Hokie opening include Rich Rodriguez (Arizona), Bud Foster (VT), Tom Herman (Houston), Justin Fuente (Memphis), Matt Rhule (Temple), Dino Babers (Bowling Green), and Willie Fritz (Georgia Southern).
