Not only has Beamer coached the Hokies to bowl games, but he also helped get them there as a three-year starting cornerback (1966 to 1968). Beamer has led his alma mater to 15 straight bowl appearances, two ACC titles, two ACC Coastal Division titles, three Big East championships and a trip to the national championship game. The only thing left is to win the big one. Beamer's overall record heading into 2008 after 21 seasons at Virginia Tech is 167-85-2. He became the program's winningest coach in 1997 and was named the ACC coach of the Year in 2004 and 2005. -- Heather Dinich
