Shane Beamer to be hired at SC

I'm guessing he might hire Graham. Unlike Bama assistants, our coaches tend to take their prospects with them when they leave.

Regardless, Tennessee will probably never even speak with Freeze. We’ll just get the brakes beat off of us by him when he does rejoin the conference.

Seems odd, don't think he's ever even been a coordinator let alone a HC.

I know, that’s why I don’t really understand the hire. I think they should’ve went after Chadwell. But as someone else mentioned, maybe he wasn’t available, idk....

He is a good fit for their program, he comes off Spurrier's coaching tree at South Carolina, Beamer was there for four years, recruited well in state, learned a few more tricks and recruiting spots at Oklahoma, will have access and familiarity with the South Carolina boosters and the former lettermen from the Spurrier era, he will have better access to talented assistants than Cornbread will and ought to bring a more open catch and run in space offense (not the pound the rock mentality) that scores quickly and puts points up in bunches that is required to be competitive in the SEC.

Napoli and Chadwell will get their shot at the SEC, but like grandma's Christmas cookies, they may need to bake just a little bit longer before they are ready.

Beamer comes with no buy out, South Carolina's athletic reserve fund is fout times what Tennessee's is and they have seen and learned from the mistakes Tennessee makes time after time.

Tennessee has no coaching tree, we have an athletic director that thinks he's still the head coach, hasn't a clue or the credibility to rebuild the Tennessee football program and will continue ue to throw away hard earned fan dollars on mercenaries who he thinks will bow to him and coach his philosophy, while the program takes up permanent residence in the bottom third of the conference.

I don’t know. Time will tell. He has the knowledge of how a program should run (his dad, being an asst. at Oklahoma). Sometimes it’s not about being a HC that just knows coaching, but coaching and managing assistant coaches. Hiring good assistants can make or break a HC. Can’t be any more difficult than what UT has going for it.

Yeah. The gamecocks do it differently than the Vols who roll out red carpet, dip into the cash and give extensions to losing coaches like Pruitt.

I had to read up a bit as I honestly didn’t know a whole lot about Shane Beamer. A few things do stick out.

-Masters Degree in Sports Management
-In 2009 at South Carolina, Beamer was nominated for the Frank Broyles Award, which goes annually to the nation’s top assistant coach.
-As the Gamecocks’ recruiting coordinator, his 2009 class was ranked 12th-best by both Rivals and Scout, and the 2010 and 2011 classes were ranked in the Top 25.
-He comes to Carolina from Oklahoma, where he has served as the assistant head coach for offense for the last three seasons. The Sooners led the nation in total offense, scoring offense and yards per play in 2018.

Bottom line- Its safe to assume, there was some familiarity there given his history with the Gamecocks and I have a feeling the Ole Ball Coach had some input in this decision. I would have probably preferred head coaching experience but I don’t think I would hate the hire if I’m an SC fan.

I hope he tears it up year one. That may make the apologists stumble on why our current 'coach' needs year 4 to get his sh*t together.
