Loggains had 50 TDs in 2024 with bad OL play.

Let's see if Briles can hit that mark with good OL play.

He's got 26 TDs at the halfway point but he's done with non-con games for the year.
Dude, who cares if Briles breaks Loggains' marks? Loggains is gone. It's your way of mocking the fans who like the idea of promoting Briles if Shane doesn't work out. I don't understand how people like you and kidrobinski are okay with Shane stealing $8M+ a year from Carolina when he's won 1 SEC game in the last 9 conference games in year 6. He's a nice guy, wants to be here and needs another decade to learn head coaching. Yippee. Results matter. He has this year to prove himself or else.

Simply pointing out facts.

I just don't recall anyone ready to give Loggains the HC position at a $50mil turnover cost for experiment purposes?

I do recall alot of complaining though.

Beamer is the 2nd best coach we've ever had at this point since we entered the SEC. Steve Spurrier is gone.

Maybe he had one bad OC?

Beamer is good at what new age Head Coaches primarily are responsible for outside of staff hires, which is fund raise and it pays his salary.

Briles and Beamer are intimately tied to each other's success. Good luck extrapolating that.

No. Head coach #1 job is to WIN. GAMES.

Can't believe that had to be pointed out.

You missed this part: Beamer is the 2nd best coach we've ever had at this point since we entered the SEC.

If you judge SC coaches by a season, you'd be flipping them all day long.

You guys go ahead and dream all you want though. This is what this forum does best. No logic required.

Speaking of logic: - you missed the part that I. HIGHLIGHTED. IN. BOLD. AND. MADE. LARGER....

You said: Beamer is good at what new age Head Coaches primarily are responsible for outside of staff hires, which is fund raise

No. His job, and every other Head Coach's primary responsibility is to WIN. GAMES.

Are you one of those people that like to back track, deflect, and re-write history when you're wrong? You sure do sound like it. They're often identified with this symbol: (D)

Actually, it's more of a bonus a USC with life in the SEC. But they tell the typical fan that's the #1 priority.

They definitely need to produce some good seasons along the way, but the goal is to run a clean / competitive program that garners interest from fans and donors.

WIth that said, being bowl eligibile on somewhat of a regular basis is something that pleases the AD.

This forum is not reflective at all of the core fanbase.

In fact, it largely consists of one individual who likes to role play back and forth with himself.

Regardless of what you believe Beamer's job is, he remains in the position and likely will into next year too so sit tight.

You could have just said "Yes."

Ignored from here on out. - Take care.

The only thing he possibly could have gotten offended by is this line:

Sorry. As mentioned previously, your work is largely a public service. I will try to stop referencing.

On the other hand, it does force us to do what got us into trouble with Paris and Beamer: give a big raise based on one year of performance.

If he's offered a G5 head coaching gig, we probably can't keep him. Unless he's willing to continue building his coordinator resume at the P4 level, holding out for a P4 head coach gig.

If a larger program comes sniffing around at him for OC, we would get in a bidding war and are unlikely to win.

One factor could be family. He's moved 7 times since 2017...from Tx to Fl, back to Tx, back to Fl, to Arkansas, back to Tx and now SC. He has a son that's probably in about 10th grade, and a couple younger kids, so maybe they want some stability as one kid nears graduation.

He's a Texas boy, though.

And, if he leaves, he most likely takes Clements with him, likely undoing our offensive gains from this year.

I'm not sure a see a great ending for us. Even if we can hold onto him for next year, if our offensive improvement sticks, there's no way he doesn't move to a bigger job or a HC gig somewhere. The only way we can keep him is probably naming him HC, but that would be based on the offense performing well which likely mean we have a decent enough record to retain Beamer.
Longhorns need an OC IMO. Also, could see them looking at Briles as HC.
