Frank Beamer is an outstanding head coach...period. To do what he's done at Virginia Tech is on par with what Bill Snyder has done at Kansas State. Beamer has consistently put a solid product on the field despite fighting with the University of Virginia for recruits. But like most others have said, I doubt seriously if he'll leave Virginia Tech, but I'd take him in a milisecond. For the record, at most institutions the AD or Asst. AD handles scheduling. Although I thought it was chicken feces to back out on LSU, Va. Tech did get a chance for big time exposure in the only worthwhile game on TV that early weekend against USC...can't really blame them too much for trying to do what was best for them and I bet LSU would've done the same thing if presented the opportunity.
