He was the only head coach in the school's history because Hiram Scott only existed from 1965 to 1970, and was shut down due to massive debt. Hiram Scott did not have a single losing season in its five years as a football program. Its two biggest wins came on September 24, 1966 over the University of Nebraska at Omaha (13–7) and on November 7, 1970 over Boise State (7–3).
Beechner was also an assistant football coach at Nebraska, Missouri and Washington State, and even served as an associate A.D. at Washington State.
