Never liked Beamer, he's always been cocky and he's never really done anything, couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Heres a seven year snapshot before and after VickRiding the coattails of his mediocre father who himself road the coattails of Michael Vick.
Virginia Tech is not, was not, and never will be a football power. Finally the Beamer 'name' will fade as it should, and we will never again have to hear about 'Beamer Ball', which was nothing more than emphasizing defense and special teams, much like General Neyland perfected decades before Beamer copied it.

Virginia Tech went 53–19 in the six seasons before Vick became the starting quarterback, including two 10-win seasons. The program had never won 10 games in a season before Frank Beamer was hired. In the eleven seasons after Vick, they went 110–37 with nine double digit win seasons. Va Tech hadn’t won a conference title since the early 1960s. Beamer won 7 of them, with only one of those coming with Vick as the starting QB. So no, Beamer did not ride the coattails of Michael Vick.Riding the coattails of his mediocre father who himself road the coattails of Michael Vick.

Virginia Tech is the same as other mediocre programs who built their "elite years" on soft schedules and overrated coachingRiding the coattails of his mediocre father who himself road the coattails of Michael Vick.
