Don’t be surprised at some staff turnover offensively and I am not talking about Satterfield . Look for Napier to offer one of our better assistants to join him at Florida

He said offense. So, it has to be Stepp....right? I was in Gainesville the last few days around Gator fans. I'm telling you, those people mean business. They are not putting up with mediocrity. They demand the very best down there. I was kind of envious to be around them. I told them I had hoped for either Napier or Caldwell but, was still hopeful on Beamer. They indicated they put lots of money into booster club, buying tickets, etc and were not going to put up with the crap they had in recent years. Like I said, i was kind of envious of their determination. I wish we had that attitude.Gray or Stepp?
Napier will be a good coach for them. Really hate that we missed on him.....we had our chance. Still hoping for Beamer also.He said offense. So, it has to be Stepp....right?

By the way, one of them told me that Spurrier had started a restaurant down there.
Honestly, I would boot Satterfield and promote Stepp to OC and take a chance on him, before keeping Satterfield as OC and losing Stepp.Napier will be a good coach for them. Really hate that we missed on him.....we had our chance. Still hoping for Beamer also.
Missed the "offense" part of the post....just knew that Gray was from Florida and had previously coached at UF. Figured Stepp because he was closely behind Napier at Furman.
I have a good friend who is a Gator fan and I agree they are "determined" to return to elite status. They are as determined today as they were when they got rid of Muschamp and then got rid of McElwain. I'm not criticizing any of their firings, but if fan determination translated to becoming an elite team, there's be tons of elite teams.He said offense. So, it has to be Stepp....right?

UF's AD was only able to raise half of Mullen's buyout. The university is still responsible for $6M of it over the next several years.It comes down to whether you are willing to make the tough decisions as university too. How many schools would make a baseball coach AD, uth minimal experience in athletic administration, just because he won 2 championships in baseball? Very shortsighted and the easy way out.
Was Beamer "desperate" or was he doing a "favor"?I can assure you that Napier is in no way interested in Satterfield . The only one desperate enough to hire him was Beamer .
He sure didn’t do USC a favor!Was Beamer "desperate" or was he doing a "favor"?
Didn't we have a booster put up the farm to can Muschamp?He said offense. So, it has to be Stepp....right? I was in Gainesville the last few days around Gator fans.

Are you saying Hardesty had higher on most lists than Stepp? No one wants Adkins, I don't think people are coming after Satt and this is Kimrey's first college gig.Why the "mystery and intrigue"? There is only one offensive coach that we have on staff that another power 5 program would have interest in. There aren't many schools who wouldn't want Stepp on their staff.
YepDidn't we have a booster put up the farm to can Muschamp?
yeah he may likely offer Steppe.....one of the two assistants that are sought after (along with Lembo)Don’t be surprised at some staff turnover offensively and I am not talking about Satterfield . Look for Napier to offer one of our better assistants to join him at Florida
And we have some people who want to give Beamer a raise.
Keep repeating this line over and over again. Buying tickets and the Club have nothing to do with it because the people that have power will still have power and still have their club packages and their access and everything else with it. If you don't want to go than don't but don't talk other people into losing their points and place over your fools errand. If you want change then talk to your State representatives and make BOT structure a point of how your going to vote. Otherwise, you just engaging in stupidity or virtue signaling.Honestly, as long as Gamecock fans buy tickets and stick with the Gamecock Club no matter what, the powers that be will never be serious about football and men's basketball at USC. As long as long suffering fans are willing to buy and not rock the boat, all is well. When Steve Spurrier at his first press conference here said/asked "Why not us?", the answer was obvious: "It's because we are who we are".
Why do you think Caldwell would have set the world on fire with the Qb situation we had?He said offense. So, it has to be Stepp....right? I was in Gainesville the last few days around Gator fans.

Also, any intel (source?) or just wild speculation. Can't see it because there is no way Stepp or Kimrey are going and don't see anyone else as "better assistant."Don’t be surprised at some staff turnover offensively and I am not talking about Satterfield . Look for Napier to offer one of our better assistants to join him at Florida
I think he would have done better. I don't know who has the better ceiling between Chadwell and Beamer but Beamer definitely has a lower floor.Why do you think Caldwell would have set the world on fire with the Qb situation we had?
I actually thought Gray did a great job, especially after we had a couple of projected starters hit the portal. It was probably the most surprising unit on the field this year.I said it before and I say it again. I did not see any position on our team that played well enough and was coached well enough that we should get into a bidding war to keep that coach.
With all the coaching turnover this year let ANY of them walk and hire a replacement. Just my opinion.
From TraineeShane to the water boy.
I would not worry about Kimrey going anywhere if I were you . This is his 1st college job and he was on no ones list when Beamer hired him and still isn’t .Also, any intel (source?) or just wild speculation.

Stepp is an outstanding coach and a strong recruiter as you can see with the players he brought in at ARK and with Landon Sampson. If we get Antonio Williams, it will be Stepp’s doing with the relationship he’s building and of course a new OC. Kimrey will get Lonegran here next year-hopefully, and his association with other HS coaches and previous Gamecock players coaching HS ball, will bring greater dividends as well, I hope!I actually thought Gray did a great job, especially after we had a couple of projected starters hit the portal.

Then who are you referring to or are you just trying to stir people up?I would not worry about Kimrey going anywhere if I were you . This is his 1st college job and he was on no ones list when Beamer hired him and still isn’t .
That is true, however, go back and watch JS’s introductory press conference. Carolina is probably more special to him than it is to Beamer. I don’t think he’s going anywhere.That would be a great example of the “Gamecock Way”.
Keep Satterfield and lose Stepp to Florida….. 🤦♂️
Stepp is one of our better coaching assets in terms of player relations. He's the kind of guy you want your son associated with.So evidently Napier got Stepp his first coaching job as a GA at Clemson when BN was the OC. I hope he doesn't go but I'm starting to think Napier is gonna pluck Stepp off our staff
People can and will do what they want regardless of what others say or do.. Anyone who believes that message boards impact others' actions, are naive and unwise.Keep repeating this line over and over again. Buying tickets and the Club have nothing to do with it because the people that have power will still have power and still have their club packages and their access and everything else with it. If you don't want to go than don't but don't talk other people into losing their points and place over your fools errand. If you want change then talk to your State representatives and make BOT structure a point of how your going to vote. Otherwise, you just engaging in stupidity or virtue signaling.
That's irrelevant now. Beamer is our coach and, I support him.Why do you think Caldwell would have set the world on fire with the Qb situation we had?
The fact you didn't consider Gray, makes it obvious that your bias stands in your way if actually evaluating it honestly.How is Stepp considered a great coach? I thought we were inept at WR myself and Arkansas didn't miss a beat. Honestly, I'm not sure who on this staff performed above average...maybe White...maybe.
