They got turned down by Freeze and Satterfield. 3rd choice is much better than their last HC search.

Beamer wouldn’t even be in the top-5 of the vast majority of P5 programs’ HC wishlists.

I would think this job would require an experienced head coach but I doubt they have lots of interest from those

He's mighty young to end his career in the coach's graveyard.

Dabo’s an anomaly. They’re trying to mimic a model that’s 1 of 1.

Dabo is the exception not the rule. If he has shown signs that he's half the coach that Dabo is, VT would be have already hired him.

from the first time he saw him working. TB knew Dabo "Had it",several of the local radio guys(at the time) said he'd be a Head Coach one day. Beamer ? Maybe he does,maybe he doesn't ,but it looks like he's still at their 4th choice.

For several million, I would gladly end my career. He won't have to have much success, especially early. His plan could be show some improvement for a couple of years and move on. The worst case, he is financially set for life.

Were in Columbia. Great guy and dad it seemed. No clue if he will be a good coach but seems like a fine human being by all accounts.

Does anyone else find it remarkable that, after a tumultuous summer that saw
- burning, looting, and rioting around the country over perceived racial inequality and injustice; - athletic department and college football player-led protests calling for justice and equal opportunities for people of color, plus plenty of slogans painted on fields, stickers on helmets, and patches on jerseys; - and relentless messaging from sports networks and commentators, professional sports leagues, and the Power 5 conferences telling us how committed they are to CHANGE
That a Power 5 Conference football team appears to be wrapping up a head coach search in which NOT ONE of the known candidates was black... and that NOBODY is questioning or criticizing them for this? And that they're apparently going to hire a relatively young white guy with no head coaching or coordinator experience, when surely there are black candidates who either have coordinator experience or longer tenures as successful assistant coaches?
In a country where black people account for 13-14% of the population, we seem to hear a lot about how much more opportunity should be made available to them. And yet on a major college sports team where easily 50+% of its population is black, with a life-changing contract given to the guy ultimately chosen to be head coach, NOT ONE black candidate was apparently considered worthy? Where is the local sports media in Columbia? Where are the virtue-signalers at ESPN and USA Today? Where is the Coot Board of Trustees or the university president?
I'm all for the best person winning the job, regardless of color or creed. I just find it amazing that with all of the talk and hand-wringing over perceived injustices and inequalities, and all of the calls for CHANGE (even on players' t-shirts before the games) that NOBODY seems to care whether or not any tangible change actually occurs. It's almost like all of these people don't really mean it.

Did Napier even look their way? Guess he is waiting on Auburn or Tennessee.
