This is great news for Gamecocks everywhere! We just need a good young AD to carry us into the future and we'll be set.

Could be wrong but I would not rule out Zac Selmon having some interest here. He and Beamer are friends from their OU days and there have been rumors that Selmon pursued the Nebraska and A&M gigs.

Beamer is 2-0 with Gameday in Columbia. Why would anyone want to fire him right now? Because of 5-7 last year?

Sit and watch over the coming weeks and you'll see why. Our O-Line will be his downfall and it's a shame because every other area was addressed and seems better. I'm sorry but as you know, I tell the truth and get down voted.

I dont know about all that. you're guessing just the same as everyone else. I am going to guess you didnt think we would beat UK, let alone blow them out.

I have paid attention to our recruiting the last few years and both lines are something he has addressed in it. When he got here the line was trending downward and he has started building it back through guys like Josiah Thompson and Tree

Is it a mess?

Making the announcement a day before Gameday is on campus and on the heels of a report about Taylor Edwards getting fired only creates speculation on possible NCAA punishment or questions about his health.

If neither are an issue and this is just Ray announcing his retirement, then yeah I'd say it's messy timing at best.

I hope you're right but, Look at the sack totals for us over the last 10 years, paying close attention to the last 3 and you will find, nothing has changed.. * sacks given up I should specify

I wouldn't want to hire an AD who is friends with my football coach that has an overall record 2 games above .500.

Brian White - FAU's AD - is who I'd go after.

For the love of all that's holy, let USC pull Stricklin away from UF. And Fuchs too.

The Cocks should look at Joe Alleva, former LSU and Duke AD. Hired a national championship coach in Coach O.
