Revisiting the Staff Changes of 2006

At the end of the 2005 season, Virginia Tech went through significant
coaching staff changes, the likes of which we don’t see very often under Frank

coaching changes and see if they’ve actually been a benefit to the program.

Frank Beamer has had a total of 21 different assistant coaches since the
Beamer Bowl Era began in 1993. The current coaching staff has been in place
since 2006, with no coach leaving or getting fired. Though Beamer hasn’t had
much staff turnover in the last 18 years, there has still been change in
