Bobby Bentley. I had a one on one conversation with Jim Baxter of SC Varsity the other night. Jim Baxter is very well respect in SC and absolutely knows football. He said Bobby Bentley would be much better at calling plays than Roper.
If not Bobby for whatever reason, then I agree that Roper needs to stay through the season. But he shouldn't, in my option, make it past this season.
Of course, if the offense starts producing in line with what it should then I would change my opinion. There is no reason that SC shouldn't rank at least in the top 75 in the country in scoring offense. I know some posters like to talk about the weak o line or this or that. I get all of that.. That is why I think I am being VERY conservative when I say that SC should at least be able to be in the top damn 75 in the country in scoring offense. I didn't say top 25, or even top 50. Top 50 to 75.. somewhere in that range. Think about what all was said about the SC offense before the season. There is no excuse for this offense to not be in the top 50 to 75 at a MINIMUM.
If we aren't, which we aren't on a track to do that as of now, then Roper should not be retained.
