I know they'll simply hire another anti USC shithead. But love seeing all the jerks leave. Maybe he can land a job covering his beloved Jawja dawgs.
Great news! Josh Kendall leaving the State News

Yea way to go , now SC can hire a suck up to SC type of guy .. Kendall was one of the few professionals that actually knew what he was doing.
Yeah I didnt have a problem with him. Bigger fish to fry in this world than worrying about a possible conspiracy theory of a news person. I also see Kornblut bashed which I find kind of crazy. He has always been a pro. Most these news guys are just out there doing their jobs. And just because one graduated from a certain school doesnt make them professionally biased to their college team's rival. Maybe personally, but they normally dont let that creep into there work. That's bush league and they won't be around for long.
sports fanatics... its the ole, if you ain't with us, you suck... and the hell with the truth
They may not hire anyone. It's the newspaper and it is a dying industry
Kendall was slimy. Won't miss him a bit. Good riddance.
Bye. Who still gets their Gamecock info from the state paper anyway?
Kendall has the weirdest voice. I was shocked first time I heard him speak during a radio interview. Sounds like he should be 80.
Lost all respect for Kendall when he asked Spurrier how much longer he planned to coach and ran straight to print after he said 2 or 3 more years. Being USC’s hometown newspaper he should have showed some respect and told Spurrier, “Coach you might not want to say that publicly” and not printed the quote knowing darn well it would destroy the team he was being paid to report about. Knew he was sleezy and anti-gamecock at that very moment. Glad he’s gone!
This is absolutely laughable. So a reporter "destroyed the team?"... haha. South Carolina went 7-6 BEFORE Spurrier ever made that comment. The team was dropping like a rock BEFORE that comment was made. If you think that comment is what destroyed the team, you are delusional. Spurrier himself, who I have great admiration for and will always be thankful that he was the coach at SC, did MANY things that led to the downfall of the program. Those things started well before that comment.
Those things included, but are not limited too..
1. Not trying at all to hire top quality assistants.
2. Completely gave up on recruiting.
3. Stopped calling plays which is what made him the HBC.
These things started back when SC was still going 11-2 and Spurrier just thought that success would continue without having to put in the work.
Kendall was very fair to us and accurate. That's all you can ask.
PS - It's not his job to tell Spurrier he shouldn't say something. It is his job to report it accurately and in a timely fashion.

It's not at all surprising that you'd side with a guy that most think had a grudge against USC. It's what you do.
that is exactly what a reporter shouldn’t do. A reporter’s job isn’t to make the “hometown” coach look good/bad/etc....
We don’t need a North Korea, or MSNBC/Fox News style news media here. It wasn’t his job to coach Spurrier or make him look good.

Did Columbia ever have two newspaper outlets? Back in the late 1970's or early 80's I thought Columbia or South Carolina residents could subscribe or purchase The State (morning time edition) and another newspaper I am guessing the name which I think it was called the Columbia Rekord (afternoon edition). Is this accurate?
Moron Morris anyone? That moron should keep names in perspective.
