FROM WHAT I AM HEARING: SHANE BEAMER EDITION
- Thread starter cockyinflorida

Yes, touching the endowment to buy out a coach would be the official moment the university completely lost its academic soul.
Three plays away from 4-1?
Sorry, didn't realize that was you posting on here, Dabo.
Carry on.
And people forget that Holtz told them he wanted to step away to care for his wife. His heart was with her and not football at that point. He let McGee coerce him into staying and everyone can see what happened. They can't say he didn't warn them.
Agree with OP, except...if we finish 3-9 or 2-10, there is no way Beamer survives. The uproar from the fan base will be too much to ignore. Recruits will know he's a dead man walking and go elsewhere. Anyone decent on the team will hit the portal. Personally, I hope Beamer stays. But he has to pull some surprises down the stretch to survive.
So you don't beleive athletics has anything to do with why a student would choose USC?
After how Paris was handled, this wouldn't shock me. We have never been as flush as our fans have thought we were - or are. By SEC standards, we are paupers in terms of disposable income.
Lou started cratering from the moment Phil Petty graduated and he determined to make Jenkins into the Second Coming of Tony Rice, basically kneecapping Skip as OC.
It absolutely does. Way too much, in fact. What does that have to do with raiding the primary tool for funding academic scholarships to buy out a coach?
Raiding? That bloated endowment is criminal. And students still pay out the nose for education.
South Carolina Offensive
Total Offense: 3rd in the SEC (491.0 ypg)
Rush Offense: 1st in the SEC (256 ypg)
Rush YPC: 2nd in FBS (6.53 ypc)
Means little without the Ws, but again, we're not far off.
Stop making silly mistakes in key moments would help alot.
Beamer didn't cause the fumble that swung momentum in the 1st half up 17-0.
He did havesome lame risk taking though.

I sat in W-B against Temple and watched us on third and
Here here; was preparing to post this very thing.
Took my son to his first game when we played Temple at WB. We had a third and eight deep in our territory; looked lost on the field. Called a timeout as the play clock got close to zero; came out on the field after huddling with Holtz and ran ….qb draw with Jenkins. Picked up three yards. Punt.
No one is disputing Lou's offense was painful to watch his last three seasons. I had season tickets on the 50 yard line all three of those years. The difference between Lou and Shane was Lou had a more consistent defense. Yes, we got scorched at times like '03 Clemson but for the most part it was bend but don't break. He had 19 SEC wins in 6 seasons (0 in '99 thanks to what Brad left) and Two Outback wins-better than Muschamp and Beamer.
A guy told me one time that the reason divorces were so expensive was because it was worth it. Same here with Shane.
Shane Beamer buyout: Here’s how much it would cost South Carolina to fire its head coach
Shane Beamer's buyout at South Carolina wouldn't be a cheap resolution for the program, and Saturday's loss to Kentucky made his seat hotter.www.saturdaydownsouth.com
Getting rid of Beamer is more expensive than an ex-wife.
Good stats but where was the offense in the third quarter. Another unprepared Carolina team in the second half. That's on Beamer.
They aren't shown, but obviously the defensive stats tip the scale to the L side since they're 0-3 this season in conference. Doesn't matter if they score 60 PPG and have 1000 yards of offense if they give up 80 PPG. The metric that matters is the number of points scored - so far USC is averaging 29 PPG while giving up 42. On average, that's a two-touchdown gap they have to bridge to get on the right side of the ledger. That's how far off they are according to the scoreboard, not the offensive stats. But, maybe they just want to put the Rushing Champs trophy next to the Practice Champs one?
I’m fine with Beamer sticking around. In fact, he should hang around until the end of his contract. That way we owe no buyout, and we can jettison the mess he’s created. He will also have failed so miserably that no school will hire him again.
And in SEC play for the last 10 games we are 1-9. And that win was against Kentucky.They aren't shown, but obviously the defensive stats tip the scale to the L side since they're 0-3 this season in conference.

If I was an SEC AD I would tell all of my men’s sports coaches that losing to us is a firing offense. Losing to a Beamer coached team certainly is a humiliation that should get a coach fired in the spot.
Defense is not as good as they've been in previous years but has still not be awful. The last three teams we've played all been ranked and none have had over 500 Total Yards (we've had more total yards in 2 of those 3 game.) Have to stop making stupid mistakes (and turnovers) in key moments.They aren't shown, but obviously the defensive stats tip the scale to the L side since they're 0-3 this season in conference.

I don't think the university can use endowment money for athletics. Donati doesn't have access to the endowment funds, they are probably restricted to academic use.
No, it doesn't work that way. The academic side, which has no love lost for athletics, would fight tooth and nail to protect the endowment money and would likely win.
They are on the balance sheet so can leverage them anyway you please (intradepartment, interest, loans, etc)
It doesn't have to come directly out of the fund on paper.
