“Limited success” under Beamer? Do you watch CFB?
From 1993-2003 in the Big East, VT won less than 8 games 1 time in 1997 going 7-5. During that time they had (2) 11, (3) 10, (2) 9 and (3) 8 win seasons. Beamer clearly had it going before they entered the ACC.
From 2004-2011 in the ACC they won no less than 10-11 games a year. From 2012-2015 (Beamer’s last year) they won 7 3 times and 8 the other.
Fuente started in 2016 and had the following:
2016: 10-4
2017: 9-4
2018: 6-7
2019: 8-5
2020: 5-6
2021: 6-7
Pry took over in 2022.
2022: 3-8
2023: 7-6
VT clearly was very successful under Beamer before and after joining the ACC. Fuente had a couple very good seasons, and Pry has flipped the record in his 2nd year.
If Beamer‘s success is “quickly fading into history” than a lot of programs are in the same boat.
