The truth about Beamer and South Carolina

quote:

---

He doesn't call plays.

I disagree.

quote:

---

Replacing Beamer at this point is idiotic at best

---

No it’s not.

quote:

---

He needs to lose his 'loyalty' to bad hires

---

Wouldn’t that be hypocritical?

quote:

---

We keep Beamer and ride it out for now.

Hopefully Coastal changes that this weekend. I’m not confident in that happening, but anything is possible.

Hopefully after Saturday he will learn you shouldn't walk into halftime telling the reporters that "we beat these guys by 24 last year" and pumping up the crowd like you already won. He was begging for karma to bite him in the arse.

I do agree this is a bad time to replace Beamer, I would hate to be looking in this coaching market with so many top jobs open and a short supply of available top tier coaches. I think Beamer is capable. I just lost a lot of respect for him pulling that stunt on Saturday, as a coach you never want to get cocky like that with half of the game to play on the road.

For 40 years, I have loved the Gamecocks. It's my alma mater, so they'll always be part of me, but I'm done with the football program. Decades of mediocrity and falling on our face at the most inopportune times have made me completely numb. I cut the game off at halftime because I knew exactly what was going to happen. I posted it in the game thread.

Shane Beamer is a loser and a crybaby. He's someone with a job because of who his father is. Old Dominion didn't want him, but we somehow gave him the keys to our football program when he'd only been a position coach. We hired a guy to coach our program because Stephen Garcia laughed at his fart jokes a decade earlier. That makes us even bigger losers than Shane.

I'm shocked Beamer wasn't fired Sunday morning. He made a fool of himself celebrating at halftime like the game was already over only to lose a 30 points leave and not even score in the second half. Coaches have been fired for less.

Yeah the guy who’s 0-3 on OC hires is totally gonna figure it out now that he’s totally dead in the water

Shatterfield was bad, and Shula was the worst in my lifetime, but looking back Lowgains was passable.

SC is the best 3-7 team in the nation.

Not good enough.

There is enough talent on the roster that, if coached properly, this team should have had playoff expectations. Those were not unreasonable, based on who was on the field.

But the fact that it doesn't is 100% on Shane and his inability to hire a competent offensive staff.

I don't think another HC will recruit as well as he does, for sure. But there are loads, who are attainable, that would be better game day coaches. If I had the money, I'm firing Shane yesterday for the embarrassment he brought to the university and forcing Bob Chesney to day no.

Absolutely worst-case scenario, you fire him and give the reins to Clayton White for a year or two until you have identified your guy and brought him home. Shane doesn't have the mentality to be a head coach. The UTK fans who have called him Butch Jones 2.0 are 100% correct. He's Butch with better players, and that's a disgrace.

Never should have lost to aTm. Never should have lost to Bama. You probably shouldn't have lost to Mizzou, considering you were leading in the 4th. There is no killer instinct on this team, and that falls on the recruiting coordinator posing as a head coach.

Sellers, Stewart, and Harbor will all be gone next year. May as well get started on the rebuild.

I'm sorry, and with all due respect: That's BULL CRAP!!!!!

It’s pretty easy for a Georgia fan to take shots at South Carolina’s program and act like we just don’t want it badly enough, but that completely ignores the realities we fight against every single season. South Carolina has invested just as heavily in facilities, and resources as any top program, but we’re working from a fundamentally different starting point. For example, Metro Atlanta alone has more people than the entire state of South Carolina, which means Georgia has a massive built-in recruiting advantage that we’ll never be able to match no matter how hard we work or how much we spend. And unlike Georgia, we have to split our already small talent pool with another national power right in our backyard. So when Georgia fans like you sit back and take shots at our program, we’re grinding year after year because we love this program and believe that we can achieved something bigger (even if it's a far fetched dream). If just based on how much crap the typical SC fan has put up with watching this team of the years, no other fanbase is more deserving of success than SC (well, maybe state or vandy).

And furthermore, that’s why when last year’s bullcrap loss to LSU on a AWFUL call by the ref hurts even more in hindsight. It cost us a shot at the CFP and opportunities like that are rare for programs like ours. We may not see another chance at that level for years, if ever.

I've said it before on here. I have resigned myself to knowing I'll die before SC wins a championship in football. That's an awful thought to have in your brain.
