Frank Beamer Retiring
- Thread starter mikemarc1
- Start date
That's what kept Foster there for so long but I've also read more recently that Beamer's son may now be the coach in waiting.
Uh oh, think that they may try to poach Kyle Flood from us?

Actually, I think it's 9 but I too wonder if Bud Foster will be the replacement.
A good decision on Beamer's part. He had a great run and put VPI football on the map but lately the program has been in a downward spiral. Better for him to leave on his own terms than be fired after such a great career.
I do not see GS as a candidate for this job.

If you are referring to my post just above , Of course I'm not sure, just an opinion based on Virginia and Illinois programs/universities that seem to place a high priority on Academics as well as Sports. Neither are the traditional Football Factory. Schiano seems to be a good fit at either program. The only reason I even mentioned UCF is that Schiano lives in Florida (Tampa?) not far from Orlando, and O'Leary is now not calling the shots .
I think Butch's hands have to be pretty dirty from his time in Chapel Hill. A lot to overlook there. If you were going to rank the attractiveness of openings would it look something like this:
Southern Cal
South Carolina
Maryland (if Under Armour money involved)
Va Tech
Miami
Virginia (I think London is done)
Illinois (don't have a track record of paying top dollar for coaches)
UCF
I think I am forgetting one. Not sure RU would have a competitive advantage over any other than UCF.

I am honestly not sure. I think there would be a lot of support for Schiano, IF he was interested in returning, BUT also a lot of folks against his return. If Schiano WAS INTERESTED, I think he would be a finalist for the job, IF it opens. A lot would depend on Barchi's , and maybe Herman's , comfort level with such a big personality , that Schiano has. I don't exactly remember Schiano's relationship with Christie, I think it was ok, that could be a factor as well, I suppose. Maybe Lesniak and Greg Brown as well.
