LET ME BE FRANK The Autobiography of Virginia Tech Legend Frank Beamer

LET ME BE FRANK

This is a must-read for any Virginia Tech Hokies fan. Frank Beamer put the Hokie football program on the map, taking the obscure program at his alma mater in 1986 to the heights of success before retiring in 2015. He finished his spectacular coaching career with a remarkable 280-144-r record. In Frank’s own words, he details his life and career along the way and offers many behind-the-scenes stories, including the time he almost died from a garage fire when he was a 7-year-old boy growing up in Fancy Gap, Virginia. Over the decades, Beamer became much more than just a football coach in the Blacksburg community — he became a leader and beloved figure, helping the community heal after a 2007 mass shooting on campus.
