This broke the spine of this program, in this form under this staff. Fired tomorrow? End of season? Theres no recovering from this.
I thought he should have been cut loose after last week. On a positive note, he’s got Florida next week and they don’t look nearly as good as everyone thought they were.

I'd be mighty suprised if Beamer is still head coach in next 24 hours. Mighty suprised!
We have to have the opening NOW to start getting interest from candidates. If we wait until December, the back channel talks among agents will be delayed badly, rhe portal unofficial interest/visits wont happen bc we will not have a coach.

Beamer is a great man but this just has to happen now

Waiting until December or Jan.... will only make the pain that much worse in the next 2 seasons.

So, knowing that, and knowing everyone in the universe knows that..... I fully expect our *IDIOT* administration to wait until Dec, Jan. It's the Gamecock way. If there's a cluster *__ck way to do things, our administration will do it precisely that way. Nothing is going to change until the money stops.

Florida, unless we fire Shame & the team is hearing a different voice, will beat us by 21+.
They were idiots to give him that kind of buyout. Just absolutely moronic.

I fully expect UF to play like their hair is on fire after getting embarrassed today and make the Bama game look competitive by comparison.

What does firing Beamer now do other than please the fans? Can't see the end result being much better. Big money talks. Maybe give Briles a shot and see if he's up to the challenge moving forward. I don't know.

Not a SC native, but lived here for 50 years+. Wife and son Carolina alums. Not a good year to be a fan of either team.

I would love to see the Carolina/Clemson game have significance.

Two rough losses at home.

The play calling / risk taking that served this staff so well thru 2024 has just vanished.

The team is not playing that poorly. The play calling at critical junctures has just been super lame.

For example, there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't have taken the easy field goal but instead for it on that 4th and 3 with a DOA playcall.

I don't see them doing anything until the end of the season but the pot is definitely getting warmer.

You can't continue to lose games of this nature.

That will also cost us a good hire and any hope of landing quality portal guys.
Give the name of a good coach who will commit to coming to us mid season. The AD can start looking before he fires Beamer. Quality portal players aren't jumping onto a struggling program.

I would get tired of the athletic department calling me every 5 years asking me to donate buyout money. Wheeler and Rice are gone. You think their wives are gonna donate their hard earned, aahem, money?

I think waiting until December will save us 6 million of his buyout.
Sigh....... but will also cost us $6 million in lost revenue from sales, excitement, the "hope" of the future, etc.....

The right move is to fire him now. Tonight. Preferably before he has a chance to get in front of a microphone and go through his same BS that he says every week.

I think the fanbase is officially done with Beamer. They were chanting "Fire Beamer" throughout a game, and he just got booed straight off the field after this game.

This season is a total wrap. My take? Fire him tonight and make the announcement tomorrow morning. Name an interim and see what he can do.

**** the buy out. Fire him. Consider whatever the buy out is as part of the the lesson learned for making Tanner our a/d who got us this mess with back to back head coach hire flops. .

Beamer ball sucks in the SEC! Get rid of it ASAP!!!!

How Beamer was stuttering after Kentucky came back in the 3rd Quarter, I wouldn't be surprised if we found out that he was told he's out with a loss today.

Thanks to that dope Ray Tanner we cannot fire Beamer. Two more years and Tanner will be here making $1 million a year laughing at us all and asking for more donations for the Athletic Dept.
Can we really hide behind the buy-out anymore? It's bad, real bad. . Think the team quits and gives us no choice.

They should put it on Tanner to do the firing. He hired him, he should fire him.

We can fire him and pay him 5.5 million for 5 years. At least I heard from a reputable source that is the way the contract is structured.

They should put a fundraising aunction together and sell the right to fire Beamer to the highest bidder. Raise money for the buyout and give some wealthy donor a little pleasure.

I would fully expect them too. Too large unless he takes a drop.

It's bad we're not winning the games but the play is not terrrible. White has been a very good DC as a whole and I think the guys are trying but they just aren't quite there yet.

This was another game just like MSU where we had more yardage, but just didn't execute in key moments largely because of poor critical play calling. And we lost the turnover battle 2-0.

Very little distance between MSU, UK, Missouri, Vandy, A&M, Auburn, Oklahoma, ARK and us.
