Longtime Virginia Tech head football coach Frank Beamer is retiring at the end of the 2015 season.
Mike Jurecki of Fox Sports initially reported the news Sunday. ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach confirmed the report and said the Hokies would publicly announce the news at approximately 2:15 p.m. ET.
Beamer, 69, has been at the helm of the Virginia Tech program since 1987. He oversaw the glory days of quarterback Michael Vick and led the Hokies to No. 2 in the postseason Associated Press poll in 1999. Beamer has compiled a record of 235-120-2, including 4-5 this season, with 22 straight bowl appearances.
