Shane Beamer’s association with Virginia Tech is significant, considering his family’s legacy in football at the university. In light of Brent Pry’s recent dismissal, Beamer’s name has emerged as a potential candidate to replace him at Virginia Tech. After his team’s recent victory over Virginia Tech, Beamer expressed his commitment to South Carolina, stating:

“I think the week of the Virginia Tech game I told everyone how I feel about South Carolina and my love for this place…”
“That’s where my focus is right now, getting our football team better because I don’t like where we are right now…”

Though many believe Beamer harbors no intentions of leaving, speculation continues regarding his potential return to Virginia Tech. Historically, sources close to the situation indicated that he is highly regarded as a candidate whenever the position opens.

Virginia Tech has struggled in recent years, and with Beamer having previously stated his affection for the Hokies, the upcoming coaching decision may heavily involve the university’s donors. Observers remain curious to see if Beamer, currently in a stable position with a lucrative contract at South Carolina, would consider making a move back to his alma mater.
