Virginia Tech is a program that in the late 80's and early 90's like Ohio was struggling to get over that 8 win hump, made it to the Sugar Bowl in 1995 to go on to a remarkable run. Beamer needed about a decade before he really started winning. On a smaller scale, is Ohio getting in position to make that leap to 11-3 or 12-2 type seasons and go on a run for a few years? A run that will make everyone forget the MACC frustrations. Its possible if the offense steps up to what its capable of.
Beamer's teams never sniffed 8 wins his first six years....won 6 twice.
But in his 7th year he went 9-3 and went bowling.
For the next 23 years VT went to a bowl....won 10+ games 13 times (including 8 straight years)
He won three Big East titles (2 of those were co-champs)
He won four ACC titles
He played in 6 ACC titles games (3-3)
I like your thought of possibly comparing Ohio to VT....but it's just factually incorrect.
Frank is NOWHERE near the path of Beamer....nor is Ohio to VT (even on a MAC level)
Frank has had 1 10+ win season in 12 years.
0-4 in MAC title games
0 league titles.
I don't see him 12+ years in going on a Beamer-type run.
