BandanaVTDavis4321 1,717 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 It just seems like he can't get over the hump and it doesn't look like VT is going to do anything special like they did in the earlier years. I was curious as to the thoughts of Hokie fans about this. I think he should retire at seasons end. I love the idea of allowing him to wait as long as he wants or for him to go out on his own, but his staying actually appears to be possibly hurting the program at this point.

Ryan4VT 4,553 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think it was after the OSU game, but yeah, he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtiger 1,740 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think he should leave when he is ready to. Without Beamer VT football would be nothing and we would all be Wahoos! That said, I think he should retire; its the responsible move and the program is in a good place. I dont know if the program will really advance as long as he is there. When Beamer leaves the job is Fosters rvtne216 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,553 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 When Beamer leaves the job is Fosters I actually don't think that is the case. Babcock has shown with his hires that he will go get a coach. I definitely feel that Foster would be on the list, but he would certainly bring in a few other names to make it interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixcat 2,919 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Be careful what you wish for! Prior to Beamer, and even his first few seasons, VT football was a joke. Every career comes to an end at some point but don't forget where VT football came from! You could easily be right back in the midst of a 3 win per season average. rvtne216 and olewave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Babcock absolutely nails the next hire, this is precisely where VT will be. UVA used to be ranked #1 at one point. Look where we are now. The exact same can and will happen to VT if the next hire is in any way NOT "the man". I don't think VT will have their cake and eat it too with Foster. I think VT either makes Foster the HC or loses him entirely. He's shown an interest, and he's paid more than his share of dues. I cannot see him taking too kindly for someone else to come in who doesn't have his experience. I don't envy the pressure on Babcock to find a suitable replacement for Beamer. redtiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Foster as a tried and true #1. I could be wrong but I see him as more of a Mike Stoops type. Very good #2 but just not a #1. olewave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither do I, and that's the pickle that VT's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Don't you boys worry, Mr. Babcock will take care of things when Frank decides its time to step down. VT will be in good hands post-Beamer... That's the kind of info you get when you rub elbows with the new AD and the man that caused Frank Beamer to utter his famous quote, "you're out of whack"...UVAO knows what I'm talking about...

Hacker 82 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 GMan, some of us just don't move in the rarified crowds you do. BTW, E. Carolina maimed UNC on Sat. and better on the field decision making and not losing yard on a screen on 2nd and four changes Sat. outcome. I don't think the glass is nearly as empty as some. Young core players, and inexperience in the no huddle are factors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueTornadoFan 17 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Did he just sign a new contract extension this week? Yeah, he did, but that was mainly to stop other schools to stop negatively recruiting against Beamer and VT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
