Beatty was named the 2004 Virginia High School League AAA Coach of the Year for his state championship team with Landstown High. Also during his prep tenure, he coordinated offenses that produced the top four passers in Virginia High School history and led the only two teams in state history to have a 3,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard receiver, and a 1,000-yard rusher in the same season. ===Hampton University=== Chris Beatty left Landstown High School for the [[offensive coordinator]] and [[quarterback]] coaching position at [[Virginia|Virginia's]] [[Hampton University]] in 2006. Beatty only stayed at Hampton for the 2006 season, but his team produced a 10-2 record and lost to [[New Hampshire Wildcats football|New Hampshire]] 41-38 in the first round of the [[2006 NCAA Division I FCS football season#Postseason|FCS playoffs]]. The team also won the [[Mideastern Athletic Conference]] championship with a 6-1 conference record. Boasting the No. 7 scoring offense in the FCS at 34.2 points per game, the 2006 team also produced a player drafted in the [[2007 NFL Draft]] and six players who signed contracts with [[National Football League]] teams, four being offensive players coached by Beatty—including Dereck Faulkner, Onrea Jones and Marquay McDaniel. ===Northern Illinois University=== Following his 2006 stint at Hampton University, Beatty was offered and accepted the position as [[Northern Illinois University|Northern Illinois']] running backs coach for the 2007 season. Beatty's Huskies had previously had a player rush for over 1,000 yards in the previous eight seasons before his arrival, including the school leader and third-round [[NFL Draft]] selection, [[Garrett Wolfe]], who departed the team the season before Beatty's arrival. In Beatty's only season at NIU, the Huskies posted a 2-10 record. However, sophomore running back [[Justin Anderson (running back)|Justin Anderson]] rushed for 1,245 yards and 8 touchdowns in the season under Beatty. The 1,000-yard performance extended the school's record to nine consecutive seasons. ===West Virginia University=== After his season at Northern Illinois University as the team's running backs coach, Beatty was offered the same position at [[West Virginia University]] for new head coach [[Bill Stewart (football coach)|Bill Stewart]].

The fleet-footed Devine concluded his Mountaineer career with more than 4,000 rushing yards, ranking fourth all-time in Big East Conference history. Devine also finished as West Virginia's all-time leader in all-purpose yardage. Sanders ranked as one of the Big East's most productive receivers, catching 195 passes with Beatty as his mentor. Sanders concluded his career as West Virginia's all-time leading receiver - and second all-time in the Big East. He also posted a reception in 41 consecutive games. The Mountaineer rushing attack also ranked among the Big East's best during all three of Beatty's years with the program. ===Vanderbilt University=== In January 2011 Beatty was hired as wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at Vanderbilt University by new head coach [[James Franklin (American football coach)|James Franklin]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://hamptonroads.com/2011/01/exsalem-landstown-football-coach-joins-vanderbilt |title=PilotOnline.com |access-date=June 8, 2011 |archive-date=May 15, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110515015055/http://hamptonroads.com/2011/01/exsalem-landstown-football-coach-joins-vanderbilt |url-status=dead }}</ref> ===University of Illinois=== On January 3, 2012 it was announced that Beatty was hired as assistant coach at the [[University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign]] by new head coach [[Tim Beckman]].
