SC's DB coach moving on to LSU. Is it too late to get back in on Holloman and Gilmore?

This has to be a big loss for SC

I mean it wouldn't hurt to try. But probably not unless he was the main guy recruiting him

The Ole Ball Coach is having them swept from under his feet.

he has alot of hiring to do.....SC fans crack me up. They have talked and talked about how awesome of a talent evaluator Coop is and that is why their secondary is so good etc....Now they are saying that his absence is a positive.

WTF!

I think ol stevey's assistants are seeing the writing on the wall. And it says things are maxed out at usc(lite) and it is time to move on.

Holloman and Gillmore both have Ellis Johnson listed as their primary recruiter.

I don't think any of his recruits would really interest us. The only ones that are better than 3* are LBs and a DE that was a non-qualifier last year who seems pretty devoted to SC.

Not having Ron Cooper will stink in terms of player development because he was consistently able to develop his young recruits into quality SEC secondary players. The majority of his best players at USC were 2 or 3 stars coming out of HS, which is more of a testament to how well he was able to help his players make the transition from HS to college. He has sent plenty of players to the NFL over the past 5 or 6 years including Fred Bennett, Ko Simpson, Jonathan Joseph, and Dunta Robinson. However, as good as a coach as he was, (I only found out about this after he took the LSU) Cooper was said to be a "cancer" on the team and staff. His attitude and behavior towards other coaches wasn't exactly what the athletic department wanted. He was told to find somewhere else to go by the Athletic Department near the end of the season. After the bowl game, he was pretty much forced out and told to find another team. However, smart move by Coop, from 175,000 at USC to 300,000 at LSU for 3 years. Who wouldn't take that? Overall, his coaching was good, but I guess he had to be a major ahole with the other coaches or something like that to get that kind of treatment from the school. Maybe its a good thing, maybe not?

All I've got to say is Glory-Hallelujah gamecocks=beasts. You finally retired Blake Mitchell from your avatar.

On second thought, it would have been great to pull #12 off of the bench this year after the way the QB's played in the last three games.

ya us gamecock fans hated Blake while he played for us then realized how bad we needed him this year when we had a decent defense and a horrible offense, that still managed to put up 27 on UT, while running the ball and vanilla playcalling the whole second half! Anyway, im tired of FB they suck, im all about Basketball now, the team doesn't look too bad so far
