Twenty-nine years ago today, former Tech AD Dutch Baughman announced the hiring of Frank Beamer as the football coach, and changed the athletics department and university forever
Retiring Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer put his team through one final practice in Blacksburg this morning – his final practice on campus – before the travel party loaded up and headed off to Shreveport, Louisiana for the Independence Bowl.
Hokie Nation would do well to remember this date for an additional reason. On this day in 1986, Beamer was named the football coach here at Tech.
