Now that Coach Beamer has announced his retirement at the end of the 2015 season, the question of who will replace him goes from being begged to being an active request. The ultimate question will be, and is within the GC Staff, does Tech hire a place holder coach that bridges the gap between Frank Beamer's considerable legacy and the near future; or does it go out and hire a new face that could be hired to stay with the program long term?
Undoubtedly there is some serious validity to hiring an interim or ‘bridge' coach. Who remembers the guy who replaced Bear Bryant?
