We can compete with anyone, get who we need and build a sustainable, excellent football program that competes year-in and year-out for championships. The guy we WANT 'most' is the guy who wants US ... we've got the resources to compete so why anyone is worrying about WHO before the lay of the land is known is worrying for no good reason.
Our last two coaches changed the 'landscape' at South Carolina, while proving not only can we compete but also WIN (and recruit) here - both coaches were legends, both had won National Championships, both won games as GAMECOCKS that we never dreamed we could win (and win consistently) - and now our circumstances are even BETTER than when they entered the picture, we're in MUCH BETTER shape 'program-wise' than before they arrived - facilities, regional and national recognition, administration support, fan-base support, conference and television money, you name it it's FAR better NOW than post-1998. The last decade and a half has been great for South Carolina football (ALL things considered)................................................
Sc is going to be just fine. We'll get an 'offensive' minded guy - he'll hire a GREAT DC and we'll go from there. It's going to be just fine.
