It's also a recipe for insanity though when there are over 100 years of history. The idea that we have almost always hired poor coaches in men's sports is a ridiculous notion at this point. Fans want to point to coaching because it's the only variable that they feel they can influence. They don't want to discuss the overall limitations of school resources.
As of today, the reality is that Beamer is one win from being tied for the best start in football ever after three seasons. Paris went 26-8 in his 2nd year and made the NCAA Tournament for one of the few times in history. Kingston has had us in the Top 10 for most of last season and in the Top 20 for most of this year. However, he should probably be let go unless we make a splash in the CWS because of the baseball program's history of success given he's had 5 years.
Any other comparison at this point is The Thief of Joy and runs counter to any basic level of common sense. We'll continue to have our shining moments from time-to-time. It's just not going to be as often as some of the other schools with far more resources.
Personally, I believe because the heightened success is so fleeting at USC, it means alot more when it occurs. Sports is an entertainment diversion. Anyone who is tying any level of overall life happiness to Gamecocks Sports is going to be in for a hard time.
