This moment had been around the corner, but as a Hokie I hoped that corner was a little further away. Frank Beamer's retirement was not a surprise to many, but knowing that it was coming this year or next did not make it any easier. For 29 years Frank Beamer has built the Virginia Tech football program from a lowly Independent to National Title Contender. His legacy as a coach will always remain, but coach was just his title. He is and will continue to be a father figure to many young men who are not his own children.
