Our New Coach should have come to Columbia and not stayed in OK. He's just signed his own death warrant.
You can't win in the SEC like this.
Yes, this is a repost from the main page. I expect a different type of conversation here.

How is this his fault? I mean he could 100% fail, but it wont be becuase of 1 recruiting class.

I'm not sure how much he could have done to salvage this class in the little time it's been since he was hired. As others have pointed out, this class was bad before muschamp was even fired.
This program is an absolute disaster and that rest squarely on Muschamp and Ray Tanner. Even if Beamer could have saved a few commits it would have likely not made much difference considering the state of the program right now.

I've tried to refrain from being too negative in commenting on the state of the program since Beamer was hired, as I really am trying to pump myself up about a new era coming into Columbia. However, it is difficult when the latest updates coming from the insiders on the various forums are pretty dreadful, in my opinion.
One of the main factors that the pro-Beamer crowd kept bringing up was that Beamer would be able to attract quality (or at least promising up-and-coming) coordinators through a CEO approach and a shite load of money. I believe in being patient with staff hires, particularly in the era of COVID, but as of now it appears Bobo and numerous other members of the previous staff are being retained. Even if we bring in someone else to serve as a co-OC with Bobo, it is still a pretty discouraging development as there are few instances where co-OCs actually work and it also pretty much guarantees that Hilinski is done at SC.
If we're sacrificing a stud like Hilinski to keep Bobo on staff all so we can land Stockton, then that is already a major strike against Beamer, in my book. Bobo is a good offensive mind, but it is imperative that we remove the stink Muschamp left over, even if it means getting rid of Bobo.
I understand keeping on Bentley, Kitchings, and Connor Shaw. I have no problem with that - but it also appears that Tracy Rocker is staying on. There is really no excuse for our DL to have been as awful as it was this year with all the talent we actually have there, and we're probably going to keep the coach that is clearly just packing it in before retirement? I mean, god damn.
As for recruiting, we all knew that this class was going to have to be thrown to the wolves for the sake of starting over. I'm not surprised that it is a dismal class as of now, but it is clear that our rebuild is going to be more like 5-7 years than 3-4. My only hope is that Beamer knows how to utilize the transfer portal and goes scorched earth on the JUCO circuit to make up for the fact that we're being beaten by Sun Belt and Mountain West schools in recruiting this year.
Overall, there's not much I am getting excited about. I hope he can knock it out of the park on the DC hire, but I'm not holding my breath.
The largest travesty is still that Ray Tanner is our AD. As a university, we are so fricking stupid. To think that we could be staring a slew of 2-4 win seasons in the face for the foreseeable future after the success Spurrier had here, it is just bewildering how incompetent our leadership is. Everything, aside from Women's Basketball, is tanking - and Ray Tanner still has a job. What the frick.
I took great joy in withdrawing all donations to the Gamecock Club a year ago, I just wish I could do it again.
