re: Beamer isn’t the guy, and the fans that still back him are idiots

I'm willing to give White another year, but Satt should've been fired last season. This year was an entire waste. We are severely lacking in experience on the back 7 plus our DL is poorly coached. Not to mention, our offense can't stay on the field to give our thin depth chart on defense a breather. None of that is a recipe for success. Offense has enough talent that we should be competitive in most games, yet we're not.

I agree 100% with everything you say, with the one tweak above. Part of the reason I give White a pass is the stress our offense is putting on our defense. We're 111 in Time of Possession. Our defense has been on the field ALOT.

I had been feeling that White should get a pass for this year until the Mizzou game, and then that feeling completely flipped after this past Saturday.

I don't expect White to go anywhere after this season, but games like Arkansas, Mizzou, and Florida have exposed that serious improvements must be made. It's not even fair to throw UGA in there. There is objectively little confidence that our D will be able to do ANYTHING to slow down Tennessee (even for one drive) and Clemson.

Someone on 247 also pointed out that we had numerous LBs who wanted to transfer in before this season, and White inexplicably passed on them.

And for the record, I'm not completely miserable over our program at the moment. I've been numb to Gamecock football for years but I am just aggravated that other fanbases know what it takes to express their displeasure, yet many of our fans care more about being seen as loyal than pushing for a needed change.
