HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - As COVID-19 alters the sports landscape, it's also changed the way reporters have access for interviews. So, in this unfamiliar time - News 3 Sports Director Adam Winkler has turned to a familiar place: the couch.

Wink will interview coaches, current and former, from his living room. The segment is called: Coach Couch Conversations.

In a chat with legendary Virginia Tech head football coach Frank Beamer, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and Virginia Sports Hall of Fame, Wink and Coach Beamer discuss how Ravens standout Chuck Clark ended up playing for the Hokies, why Coach Beamer's rough start to his coaching career at Tech wouldn't work these days and how he's handling the sports shutdown due to COVID-19.
