Frank Beamer has coached Virginia Tech football for 26 seasons, during which his team has enjoyed unprecedented success, including 20 consecutive bowl appearances, four ACC titles, five ACC Coastal Division crowns, three Big East conference titles and a slew of other accolades. Under his guidance, the Hokies have finished top 20 in 16 of the past 21 seasons. He is also a member of the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame. Off the field, Beamer is known for his good character. He started a state-wide child literacy program and was a source of grace and strength for survivors and the families of the victims following the University's tragic 2007 shooting.
Frank Beamer opens up in his own characteristically humble way about his career and life in his new autobiography Let Me Be Frank: My Life at Virginia Tech (Triumph Books, September 2013). With the help of veteran college football writer Jeff Snook, this beloved football personality offers fans a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to turn a strained athletics program into a national name with stories from the field, bench and executive offices, including:
In addition to stories from Beamer's career, Let Me Be Frank includes personal reflections on the 2007 massacre in which 32 students and faculty members were shot and killed by a mentally ill student. Beamer shares his football philosophies and sage advice about community, work ethic and treating others with respect in a way that makes readers feel like they're grabbing a beer after a game to talk sports and life. A must-have for the upcoming football season, Let Me Be Frank is perfect for football fans and die-hard Hokies alike.
