But the irony is that Beamer spent a bunch of money in places that haven't borne fruit. He paid some OL, upgraded CB, a RB, and got a 3rd string QB from Ohio State. That QB isn't playing, the CB is good, but soft in tackling, the RB misses key blocks and can't break tackles, and the OL is putrid.
He had money. He just didn't allocate it worth a shite.
No doubt there's irony. But this is happening to a lot of teams, not just S Carolina. These players are getting paid all this money before they've ever really proven a thing. It's a huge financial risk for all the schools when they go out to the portal and have to pony up the big dollars to get players then they come in and flop. There's no recourse for the team and that sucks. Teams better pay the right players or they're stuck with a bad investment and the losses that come with it.

Good post and thank you for your honesty. This part explains a lot about Shane Beamer.
Not only did his comment deflect blame, but it also reflected his sour grapes that he didn't get his way/player.

My understanding is that SC was high on Trotter, and he was set to visit Cola after visiting CoMo. He left CoMo with a commitment, and SC either didn't want to, or wasn't able to match. It was a big loss, as Trotter is awesome.

Sounds like he is congratulating the Mizzou coaches on spending their money well

Beamer is like a high school girl in how he handles accountability. He deflects blame a lot. I remember when he first got the job (or maybe year 2), and got the absolute shite kicked out of him by UGa. He spent half his press conference talking about how much more talent UGa had (which was true). But no one wants to hear that - they want to hear what are you going to do to get better, and how can you learn from it.
Shane sucks at this. Other fanbases pick on him for it, because it's weak. And sadly, his own team takes on this mentality, and they crumble when they have an opportunity to win. As bad as they looked on Saturday, they still technically had a chance to win in the 4th. But no one, least of all his own players, actually believed that they would. As soon as Mizzou regained the lead, I knew it was over. So did he. So did his players. That's 100% Shane.

Again, I think Shane has done a pretty decent job since he's been there. They've had some pretty big wins. But they fall on their faces way, way too much. And that's something that, realistically, should have gotten out of his system as a HC after year 3. That we're in year 5, and he's still doing the same shite, shows someone who cannot grow. And that's a lack of humility and way too much hubris.
Can he fix it this year? Maybe. He kinda did last year. But he doesn't have the leadership on D that he had last year, and that means more of the onus is on Shane. And I don't think he has it in him.

Perhaps South Carolina isn’t as good in the coaching arena as mid Illinois or up and comer Mizzou?

Its the new coach speak or excuse even
Well they paid for x player. He was good
Well they paid for x player. He was good

Beamer is teaching the team that using the blame game is ok instead of taking personal accountability.
He should punish Stewart, for walking off away from the team after the game, by sitting him the 1st half against Kentucky but he can't because that would make him possibly transfer. Once NIL and the portal became cfb the players now have the coaches by their balls.

Dude, I can't UV that post enough.

Have you read the thread? SC fans are in agreement that Shane isn't much of a coach. Drink in particular is miles ahead of him. Bielema, on the other hand, just got buttfricked by Indiana.
Last year's bowl game is of little consequence, other than that Shane should have seen that Shula wasn't the answer at OC after that game.

Yeah I don’t think he’s as good of a coach as he thinks he is. That might have a lot to do with it

If Shane suspended Stewart and fired Teasley today, I'd think he'd be turning the corner. Stewart transfers? Oh well. Just freed up more money for the offseason, just like Juice did.
But we know he won't do either.

I don't think he's a bad coach, but his ability to hire offensive minded asst coaches is lacking.

Beamer is doing the same thing dabo has done and that's hired OC but hogtied them by demanding they run a certain style offense and also not allowing the new OC to bring in their own people.

The irony. Yeah I'm sure Clowney (the #1 recruit in the entire country) went to SCar for free.

He's a coach in that he's the figurehead. And he's done some things very well. But he's staring at the beginning of the end, or the beginning of the good this week.
He absolutely *must* move on from Shula and Teasley, full stop. Teasley needs to be immediately, and Shula needs to be let go in the offseason. Burnt Vegetables figured this out, and not a moment too soon for his Oklahoma career. Shane has to do the same.

I still disagree with this mentality.
The coaches made money off the universities, i.e. the gifts and non-taxation by that state's people. Now the players are, too.
We the people are the ones who are paying all the money and receiving nothing for it.
If any of these people participated in sports at Semipro Generic Team, no one would give a dollar.

If SC loses to UK this weekend (which is highly probable), and limps into the bye at 2-3, the pitchforks will be out. Conversely, a lot will be forgiven (even if it shouldn't) if SC goes into the bye at 3-2, and goes on another late-season tear. I don't think this is probable, at all
Most of us figured we couldn’t be worse than 4-1 going into the first bye if we wanted to make the playoff and probably needed to be 5-0.
If we lose to Kentucky, Beamer doesn’t make it through the second bye because we’ll wind up at 2-7. If we’re 6-6 or worse this year, he needs to go. Our first call needs to be to Jamey Chadwell and offer him everything. If we can’t get him, I’m not even sure who is the second option. Maybe Golesh down at USF.
But I’m down with Beamer until he gives me a reason to support him. I’ll still watch our games because i am a Gamecock no matter what idiot is our HC, but I’ll put our games on the small tv and leave it on mute while I watch another game.

Playoffs are out. That's not going to happen, even if SC wins out, by some miracle.
But yeah, to make it this year, SC needed to be no worse than 4-1 headed to the bye.
Still, Shane isn't going to be fired. Too much money tied up, and the AD overall is a dadgum mess. Donati has basketball to deal with (if Paris flames out again), and baseball (when Mainieri continues his march of destruction). Even if he goes 3-9, Shane isn't getting fired.
Chadwell is probably going to be that Guy We Should Have Hired for forever. But I fear that ship has sailed and run aground.
