As we wind down the Frank Beamer era here at Virginia Tech, we ask a simple question. Does Frank Beamer belong among the elite all-time as college football coaches? The question, of course, is loaded. It really breaks down to how you weight the following: winning percentage, quality bowl games, longevity, and national championships. The "X" factor in all of this is degree of difficulty. Obviously it might be easier to win at Texas or Alabama, than Virginia Tech. With so much football played over the past century, it's really hard to judge. For example, would Paul "Bear" Bryant be successful in modern day college football?
