Hugh freeze is my choice. Issues aside he built up a program that beat Alabama twice in two years. Give hime the money to get a hood DC and it has a fighters chance of working out.

Tony Elliott (Clemson) asked about South Carolina coaching vacancy
quote:
“You feel for Coach Muschamp," Elliott said during his availability. "That’s not a good situation for anybody. It’s been a crazy year. My heart goes out to the coaches and the players. This is the time of year where I get frustrated because my name gets thrown out there. I’m focusing on Clemson."

Freeze, Napier, Chadwell, or Beamer for me. I would love Joe Brady, but I don’t see him heading back to the college level after only one year in the NFL. He will continue to build his stock there and get an NFL job in the next few years, IMO. Panthers offense hasn’t been too bad.

I forgot to add
Mike Bobo.
I can already hear it from the Clemson fans.

My preference in order. 1) Freeze bc of the hype more than anything. 2) Chadwell. His offense would give us a scheme advantage that looks effective with lesser players. Hard to recruit like most of our neighbors. 3)Napier. Connections and a winner.

How are there only 7 posts?
1. Hugh Freeze,
2. Billy Napier,
3. Shawn Elliot.
You will get a good head coach with one of those, and they will be successful if they get a good staff.

Freeze or bust.

I wonder if it is Napier if we could pry Beamer from Oklahoma as OC. Beamer could easily springboard that into a HC job in a couple years.

Skip Holtz
148-110
1-0 vs ol Dat'boy
- 56 years old
- HC at 4 schools
- Offensive Coach
- Has coached at South Carolina/understands our culture
- Beat Ohio State in back to back bowl games as USC OC with Cory Jenkins & Dondrial Pinkins as his QBs
- was calling plays in his own spread offense while Lincoln Riley was going through puberty
- 8-3 in bowl games (won 6 straight)
- has not had 27 wins vacated by the NCAA
- his dad is also a HOF CFB coach, as does another of the candidates listed
...Lonnie I'm not serious about Skip I just wanted to remind everyone reading this search thread Skip beat ol Dat'boy in the Car Care Bowl. but on a serious note -
Skip has had a very fine coaching career. What he did for ECU was miraculous. (ECU was in a 3-25 funk when Skip took the HC job). they've never really been as successful (even when Lincoln Riley was calling plays) since Skip left for USF.
Skip has also built a nice winning program in Ruston. Sonny Dykes cleaned up things a bit after Derek Dooley but Skip has really done well for Tech. He's won 9 games three times and 10 games once in his 7 seasons prior to 2020. 4-3 so far this year.
Also hope Lou is recovering from the virus. Holtz family helped Gamecock Football at a time we needed it most. Forever to Thee.

The way people are talking themselves into liking the Beamer hire is funny.
The morning show today...one of the hosts said he likes the potential Beamer hire because he knows the inner workings of South Carolina's administration.
I mean, wtf?

Someone remind me...
Why isn't Chadwell a serious candidate? What the hell are we doing?
