Former Virginia Tech head football coach Frank Beamer was elected to the College Football Playoff Committee on Tuesday afternoon, executive director Bill Hancock announced.
The 70-year-old Beamer was one of three elected members to the new CFP Committee, joining Robert Morris University president Chris Howard and Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith. The trio will serve three-year terms, which will conclude following the 2019-20 season.
The Virginia Tech legend retired after 29 seasons as Hokies head coach following the 2015-16 campaign, and at the time of his retirement, was the winningest active head coach in college football with a record of 238-121-2.
