Slander
edithas twice added unreferenced comments on Beamer's coaching style. I'm afraid these remarks could be considered slander, so I have removed them. I also invited 158.106.52.10 to re-add them if they could be referenced. They were re-add, but not referenced. Clerks. 13:45, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Scar? and North Carolina?
editIs Beamer's scar notable enough in its own right to merit an entire subheading?
Are you kidding? Of course it is. The thing is infamous in the CFB blogging circuit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.95.18 (talk) 23:33, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
Also, how is this article relevant to Wikiproject North Carolina? Aside from Beamer considering a job offer from UNC several years ago, it's not clear what connection there is. Darwin16 20:05, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Beamer is from North Carolina ... although I don't know that having it in the Wikiproject area makes a lot of sense because the article is not really one that is going to enhance Wikipedia 1.0's coverage of that state. As for the scar, I agree whole-heartedly ... a lot of people are just too obsessed with it. --B 22:38, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- I admit I had no idea about the scars --now I can't not see it-- I appreciate its inclusion and explanation. --Bobak 23:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Beamer was born in North Carolina but he spent all of his youth in Virginia. The only reason he was born in North Carolina is because it's the closest hospital to his hometown. I'm not sure what Wikiproject North Carolina's standards are for inclusion but this one seems questionable. --Rtphokie 00:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Father?
editA "Francis Beamer" earned letters on the Maryland varsity football team in 1938 and 1939 ([1]). The timeline adds up and the names seem more than coincidental, along with Frank serving as a grad assistant at UM. Can anyone confirm if that was his father?

Father? Reply
editAlthough it is a very interesting one, it is simply a coincidence - Frank's dad was named Raymond. ([2]) Possibly another relative though. Pajokie 8 August 2016
Main Picture
editFor the winningest active coach in NCAA D-I FBS, I have to believe there's a photo of him somewhere on the Internet that's not 90° off, yes? IlProfessore (talk) 01:09, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
