nothing's going to change between now and then. Stop kidding yourselves.

Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself.

agreed , he said we would b n playoffs. next yr will b most guys leave via portal than ever,
no player that is marketable going to stay here, recruiting class will implode, most coaches will jump,
everyone will know he's here cause we too cheap to buy out, it will b much worse than this yr,
the same as mens bball will b this yr

Guys, the portal changes everything. We can lose half the team in the portal and still field a winning team in 2027. Today's Athletes care about two things, NIL and playing time--that's it. I just don't trust Beamer and Co., to get the best portal players.

You cancelled your own argument in 2 sentences.

A new coach won't be any better. The only difference will be that we will be poorer.

Well, he did do it with the OL this year. We completely gutted the OL and re-tooled it from the portal. And it's working well.

What do we need? If we hold onto Dobson, I'd say we need a couple players for secondary help. Pick up a couple solid WRs.

In his first statement, I think he's speaking to a hypothetical while the second statement is an expression of doubt. a al "I could win the Powerball Lottery tomorrow, but I doubt it."

How eager will donors be to give NIL money knowing that Beamerbis a lame duck coach only being retired because of the buyout?

Preaching to the choir, friend

If he leaves nothing will change either. At 56 I realize this is life as a Gamecock.

But....you can't do that. Everyone knows it takes years for an OL to "gel".

It doesn't matter

Well some of us got that a little earlier than 56, but 56 is better than 76.

Imagine Beamer doing this.

I am prepared for another year of Beamer, it is just our reality. It will be depressing like 0-21, but they should be able to fire him in December 2028.

agreed. I think it will be a swift, quiet run to the portal from a few of our "bigger" names that are staying in CFB for now.
Maybe we will get lucky like that one year when UF was in the shytter and Auburn hired west coast bryan harsin and thought he'd be a good fit in the SouthEastern Football Conference.
I'm not sure...but I'm pretty sure Bryan Harsin was luggin' boxes at bargain city for a couple years after that Auburn firing.

They can't get the best players.

If Beamer stays, 2027 will also be a bust
