Tanner hired Muschamp, Paris, Kingston, Manieri and Beamer
- Thread starter HI Cock1
- Start date
Except for manure they all gave us one good season then tripped on one of Brad Scott's fat rolls
I think Beamer has given us 2 good seasons and overachieved in his first season. I think better days are ahead for the for the football program. He made three outstanding hires this offseason on the offensive side of the ball, took him a while, but he finally hired a solid OC, OL and RB coach. I believe we will be much improved this season!
Considering how last season ended, the bar is set pretty low. So definitely improvement better be shown.
Nothing like paying a coach tens of millions of dollars to learn how to do his job.
I see a 7-5 season coming and hope springing eternal yet again.
If we're blessed with good health, we'll do better than 7-5 in 2026.
2 cupcakes on the schedule, I'm being generous with 5 conference wins. Clemson, while down from their high point, is still a talented team and it will be tough to win up there. Sellers is still a RB playing QB in the SEC, the best WR is a track athlete playing football and the OL will be a completely new group.
Quite possibly sentencing this program to an inescapable destiny of mediocrity forevermore.
Considering that already our top two OT’s are out or highly unlikely and our star DE isn’t going to play…….
Muschamp, Paris, Kingston, Manieri and Beamer
Muschamp, Paris, Kingston, Manieri, and Beamer looks like an 0-4-1 record. I still don't understand how a HOF baseball coach failed to hire a good baseball coach. Perhaps he wanted to ensure that no future South Carolina coach bested him in the record books.
I heard about the two OT's, but who's not playing at DE? Stewart? What's the story?
Yes Stewart. His back is broken and not healing properly. Can’t lift weights or anything. But some how he should miraculously be ready to play SEC ball come fall without off season workouts.
Well, one can only hope that your info is wrong or exaggerated.
As much as we need Stewart though, those two OT's missing a lot of time could hurt a lot worse.
It appears to be written in the stars. 130+ years of mediocrity punctuated by the briefest glimpses of real success.
The perpetual failure is always the last guy's fault.
The pessimism is quite strong here.
I'm not buying the Stewart not playing part. I know Beamer truly sucks when it comes to being honest about injuries, but there are plenty of "insiders" that say he'll be there come week 3. We don't need him the first 2 games. Said "insiders" are also of the belief that Peak will be ready to go by then, too.
We're due some good fortune.
After last year I began to believe Stewart will play when he wants to. As long as the talking heads keep saying he is first round talent. There will be mysterious injuries and pain. He'll make a few good plays then go back to the bench. I will continue to have this belief until I see him play an entire game.
The problem is easily diagnosed. We don't have the money for Beamer to out recruit most of the SEC. He's not good at game planning or in-game coaching. He's a cheerleader/special teams coach at best. He's never going to out coach pretty much all of the teams we play. We'll be lucky to be mediocre with him in the NIL / 9 game SEC era.
