After 29 seasons of being in charge of Virginia Tech Football, head coach Frank Beamer retired this past December. The Hokies sent Beamer out a winner with an exciting 55-52 Independence Bowl victory over Tulsa.
While it's tough to say goodbye to a legend such as Beamer, Hokie fans have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the 2016 season.
The Independence Bowl victory, along with the arrival of former Memphis Tigers Football coach Justin Fuente, has Virginia Tech fans excited about 2016.
In Fuente's first move, he retained longtime defensive coordinator Bud Foster—a popular move around Blacksburg, Virginia.
