Gamecock Baseball blows a 12-2 lead loses 15-12

Who's bright idea was it to bring a guy out of retirement to coach this team? Ray Tanner should be required to give the university his salary back, worse AD I've ever seen, so glad he's not longer in the position

Tanner should have been fired alongside former HFC Muschamp. When I heard the man was finally stepping down it was like Christmas came early.
 
I guess that is the meaning?
Many keep defending Tanner, for whatever reason. After his first two baseball hires were failures, they hung their "I love Tanner hats" on Paris, because he showed great improvement one year, and was of course awarded a huge pay raise and contract extension, that's the Tanner way. So now they are down to Beamer being their last chance to enshrine Tanner, but what has Beamer really done and where is the football program headed? Beamer's record after 4 years is 29 - 22 (57% winning %) overall and 15 - 17 (47% winning %), there is no indication in my opinion that he is bringing us out of the middle of the pack. That said, I am a realist and I think every coach should be given 4 or 5 years (assuming the programs they inherited were in shambles). I like Beamer and Paris and fully support them, but if Beamer's record the next 3 years is the same as his last 3 years (22 -17), should Beamer still remain? And what does Paris have to do to keep his job more than 4 years?
The new AD had a lot of changes and improvements that must be made for USC to make any moves towards the top of the conference, with NIL and the portal, it will be difficult in football and basketball, and baseball has its own issues now.

You "MAYBE" give Paris and Beamer a little longer leash, they are Young, the Miserable Baseball coach is OLD as dirt, so he, unfortunately doesnt get the same amount of ROPE.. (IMO)

Wha? Beamer had one of the best seasons in history last year. He also has as many wins as any football coach in our history after 4 years and he's dealing with a pay-to-play league and the UT/OU addition.

The baseball team situation is another recruiting story.

Below is where we've ranked in the SEC the last four seasons.

Meanwhile, teams like UT, Arkansas and others are openly purchasing their players.

Wonder if Ray is trying to pull a Dabo in baseball with his old school views?

If so, he better sober up soon before he loses his base.
