Consider this info:

Many people have compared Coach Stoops to Coach Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech. Coach Beamer was highly successful at Virginia Tech. Beamer coached 29 years at Virginia Tech. However, it took him time to build Virginia Tech. Here's some interesting facts about his record, maybe it will put Stoops record in a little different perspective for people to consider. His first Virginia Tech team went 2-9. In Beamer's first 10 years he had two 10 win seasons. His record the first 10 years was 61- 51. In his eleventh year his team went 7-5. That's a record of 68-56 after his first eleven seasons.

Sixteen of his 29 years at Virginia Tech his team lost 4 or more games. Coach Beamer is regarded as one of the best in college football and built a great team at Virginia Tech. He took Virginia Tech to 23 bowl games - his bowl record was 11-12. He retired in 2015 , that was 8 years ago, Virginia Tech has had 3 winning seasons since he retired. The road to success in a non traditional football school is hard to build - and is hard to maintain! The grass always looks greener - but many times it isn't as green as it seems!
