If the Virginia Tech job opens will Shane go? Paul Finebaum said could be
Oct. 25, 2021
Finebaum gave the remarks Monday morning on “McElroy & Cubelic In the Morning,” a weekly morning radio show based out of Birmingham. McElroy cohosts the show with fellow college football analyst Cole Cubelic. “Virginia Tech is likely going to come open, probably sooner than later, and everyone seems to think that they need to hire a (Frank) Beamer disciple. Well, what better than his son? His next-of-kin? What do you make of the potential of Shane Beamer potentially leaving South Carolina after one year for his dad’s school?” McElroy asked.
“On the Fuente front, it’s impossible to believe he’s going to survive, and it’s just hard to believe that five years ago he was probably the hottest coach in the country. That’s how quickly it goes,” Finebaum said. “I know (Beamer) loves it (in Columbia, SC), and regardless of the final scores of the games, and they’re pretty ugly right now, they really love him and believe in him. But, having been with both Shane and Frank Beamer a couple of weeks ago, and Frank Beamer is such a big part of everything Shane is doing right now, I could see it (him leaving for Virginia Tech). “And I could also see why Shane Beamer would have a very difficult time saying no. ... The lure of going back home. And it’s one thing to have played at a school, to have been part of a school. It’s another thing to be attached to the greatest name in the school’s history, which Frank Beamer is. So yeah, I mean, I could see it, yes.”
