Q: As his coaching career winds down, what do you think Frank can reasonably accomplish in the time he has left?

Tafkam Hokie: I don’t see that the goals of the program have changed regardless of Beamer’s age or any changes to the assistant coaches.  The goal ever since we got into an Alliance/Coalition/BCS conference was to compete for the conference title first and foremost, then see where the chips fall with respect to competing for a national title.

The new coaches are a bit of an unknown, but I don’t see any reason we can’t compete for division titles for the foreseeable future.  It would surprise me if Beamer doesn’t have at least 2-3 more Coastal titles in him before he retires.  Maybe more.

The real question is how do we stack up to win ACC, Orange Bowl, or national titles?
