VIRGINIA BEACH – The Virginia Sports Hall of Fame announced on Tuesday that former Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer and longtime Tech baseball coach Chuck Hartman will both be enshrined as members of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018.
Prior to his retirement in 2015, Beamer was the winningest active coach in FBS history at the time of his retirement, having tallied an impressive career record of 238-121-2 at Virginia Tech. Under Beamer, Virginia Tech football enjoyed unprecedented success, with 23 consecutive bowl appearances, a mark that the Hokies have extended to 25 straight under head coach Justin Fuente in 2017.
