Beamer top target for Virginia Tech
- Thread starter Sparklecity
- Start date
I might be in the minority but I really dont see us getting a better coach than what we have. We could improve our offense coach but not sure about the others.
I don’t really think it matters who we bring in. If you look over our history, while we have never had any sustained success, we have also never really had any prolonged periods of terrible seasons. We are for the most part mediocre with blips to really good seasons or really bad seasons.
Beamer isn't going anywhere. The one thing he has to fix is getting better coordinators. He's probably one of the better portal recruiting coaches out there. Does work hard but got to get guys better especially on the offensive side to coach.
I don't think so either. The only thing that could change his mind would be if he were to fall out of favor with the big money folks and he began to feel unwelcome. I just don't see that happening.
Yeah? Well, that's just like your opinion man.....
Of course it is. That is what this board is for. Did I give a different impression?
Jeremiah Donati is from TCU. They seem to be more serious about football.
No one else is going to try to hire Shane Beamer to be their HC.
I wouldn't get in a bidding war for him.
We'll keep those guys. Take Shula.And taking Sellers and Stewart with him

The only reason Beamer might leave for VT is because it is much easier to win there. His current recruiting class is number 8 in the SEC. In the ACC, it would be ranked 4th. And unlike in this state where he has to compete with national Brand Clemson for the top players in the palmetto state, he would compete with Virginia for the best in that state. That is a huge difference. At SC, he is practically bordering national programs UGA, UT and Florida. Truthfully, the job at SC is way more difficult than the one at VT. Yeah, well you know, that's just like my opinion, man.
Yep, why Dabo would never leave for the Bama job.
Maybe he realizes the hill is too steep here and would use this as an easy offramp as opposed to eventually getting canned. He could very easily explain going back to where his father was a legendary coach without looking like admitting defeat here.
But I don’t think he’s going anywhere.
Yeah I don't think VT would pony up more than what we're paying.
This is being stoked by his agent. Personally, if he left I wouldn't care. But he's not leaving, and from what I can see Donati isn't a moron like the last guy. There definitely will not be a bidding war.
So aside from the surname, what exactly has SB done to distinguish himself as a front runner for the VaTech job.
Serious question.
Serious question.
Answering that serious question would only be met with derision.
What had Dabo done?
Eye of the beholder.
I'd start with:
Win more games at the University of South Carolina than any other coach in 100+ years history in a more difficult ennvironment (NIL/Portal/Schedule) over a similar time frame.
Serious question… do we really still consider Florida to be a national brand? When’s the last time they were truly relevant in the SEC conversation? 2020 under Mullen when they backed their way into the SECCG? They haven’t been part of the championship conversation in the playoff era, that’s for sure.
I have no point really. It’s just funny to me how a program can continue to milk its national brand status 17 years after its last championship. SC has been relevant more recently than that.
Hard to compare given the different conference. But by this time on his career, Dabo had won his division twice, his conference once, and instead of a 9 win season, had a 9 and 10 win season.
Then, this being their 5th year, Shane would need to match an 11 win mark set by Dabo, which i dont think we're going to do.
But again, any win total can be argued to be due to the conference.
Nothing. But he's a likable guy. In certain quarters of our country these days, feelings trump everything.
In less than 5 years, Dabo checked his ego and hired coordinators who knew much more than him.
