I don't really think so. I think the right opportunity just never came up. He definitely wants to be a HC, but he's been picky about where he'd go. And at this point (he's not getting any younger) it's unlikely he'll get a great HC offer. First-time HC jobs are going to the younger guys. Third, he's just been very loyal to FB.
I understand and agree with alot you say here, but I think that he would feel a little bit stepped on if HIS secondary coach, OR a guy (Shane) who's shitty diapers he has probably changed, surpassed him and he was left standing there. This is assuming Bud would want the position. I think a realistic approach would be to upgrade Bud Foster's salary some more, and give one of these guys the position (a shot to begin with) at a modest price. I think alot of what will happen in this regard is going to be about timing. WHEN Beamer hangs it up, will determine who will be the next in line. I know VT could probably go on a national search when this time comes, but I would just as soon they keep it in house, and allow the consistency of long-term coaching continue at VT. There is more long term stability. This all assuming that the next guy continues to win games.
