Frank Beamer on taking the UNC job, and giving it back
Posted by Andrew Carter on October 11, 2013
Frank Beamer has a new book out called Let Me Be Frank: My Life at Virginia Tech. One of the things Beamer writes about is loyalty. He’s in his 27th season as Virginia Tech’s head coach. But in 2000, he nearly left Virginia Tech to accept the head coaching position at North Carolina.
