Not saying it will happen or that I want it to...just a hypothetical.

Texas hates Charlie Strong right? Let's get him.

I was going to say the same thing. Think Strong is a good coach and he's in over his head at Texas, stuff that only higher ups can fix.


Nice avatar KS.

Nahhh. Even with these 2 big wins his record vs ranked opponents is still frighteningly abysmal. We'll see how they finish this year. For all we know they could go the route that we did in 2007.

I know you're our board admin and all but I'm making a rule, that season is never ever to be discussed. I have never been so crushed.

Yea at least we already knew we sucked last night when we lost to UK. When we lost to Vandy in 07 we still thought we were good. And then we just kept losing... and losing...

I do think this season is gonna look a lot like 2007 though on a national scale. Lots of crazy upsets and maybe a 2 loss national champ

Look at the history

Cocks in crapper hire HoF coach
Cocks get better and hire 2nd HoF coach

Next step seems pretty clear in hiring another HoF coach

One who is not fossilized at the time of the hire. Need somebody with at least a good decade left

Lou was what around 60
Spurrier was what around 60

Maybe go as far down as somebody who is 50 as Cocks have gotten better under the other 2 and the job is more stable now.

Mark Dantonio is 58 and he was a Gamecock.

I said that a year or two ago and got slammed for it.

Probably because were in the midst of a 33-6 3-year span while the Spartans finished 7-6.


Truth be told I'd like to see us look for a younger guy though.

Been saying it for years. I'd love to have him coach USC.

Course I was also pro Stoops when many wanted a Mike Leach or other offensive type coach.

Still needs some years to show he can go all the way. Also, UK can match $$$$ so probably a lateral move not an upgrade.

Me. I would love a job where i can make 4 million a year while working 20 hours a week, hire my kids to fat part time jobs as well, and drink on the job.

I'm in no rush to see Spurrier leave, even with his brilliant 4th quarter play calling meltdowns, he brings so much spotlight to the university.. That said, he will leave one day and judging by this season that day will come sooner than later. I can feel it..

I like Charlie Strong and Mark Dantonio but they're both in their 50s.. Personally I think we need younger. A younger coach will light a fire in a fanbase that definitely loves fiery coaches.. but here's what I think of Strong.. Strong is fiery and he'd be a hit here at SC, especially with the recruits... I hate to play the race card, but I'm black and you're hearing it from me.. a black HC at the University of South Carolina would send shockwaves through the south east and would make SC that much more attractive to elite young, black recruits in SC, NC, GA and Florida.. Strong has the personality as well. Bring in Strong at HC and two hotshot up and coming 30-ish coordinators for OC/DC and that's your plan. As far as coordinators, I don't think SC is that attractive to steal a Spavital from A&M or a Lashlee from Auburn.. so what we need to do is find really good young head coaches at the lower levels of FBS that have the fire to recruit and want to prove themselves as capable of coaching in the FBS P5 .... OR .. we can go all out and throw lots of money at proven coordinators at P5 schools..
