TE coaches don't warrant much. It probably isn't really more than he is worth. But saying some one is worth more than i can normally pay a TE coach isn't exactly a ringing endorsement for being a HC in the SEC.
If it's going to be Beamer, is the administration committed?

If Ray tanner hires Beamer we are a joke. I mean seriously SC is settling on a non experienced coach. That’s pathetic. 5 years more will be wasted. I am not belittling Beamer he may a great coach one day who knows. All we know now is he has never been a head coach or called a game. Shit tanner be like Henry Winkler coached the waterboy let’s get him.
If he hires Monken, Beamer will look like the one that got away.
They're saying Beamer likely keeps Bobo and they've floated Charlie Strong's name for DC or even Kevin Steele. Therefore, Beamer has ZERO connections. More importantly, it means he has no ability to identify new talent and what fits his philosophy whatever that may be. Muschamp had the same problem among many other faults. Just don't understand hiring some guy because of who he may hire. You think Chadwell or Napier couldn't land either of those guys? Who can Beamer hire that either one couldn't?
That is exactly how he won for us when he was RC here. We got MOST ALL of the best in state players... and he benefited from a rich/deep pool of SC talent at the time. This year is VERY down for SC, but next year and especially the year after could be very good!
I am not going into theoreticals but I would imagine him working with a ton of top programs would get him better access to coordinators that Chadwell (who I was comparing him to) could not
I answering your question. "Are we willing to endure the .375 to get to the .800?"
The answer is no. Not for someone with his resume. Changing the question to whether the administration will support him does not change my answer. The administration will bend to the outcry from the fans.
It’s because the product actually matters. If improvement is shown, there’s no reason to be impatient. It was evident from year 1 that Frank is a high level coach. Still is.
Finding good assistants for what we pay isn't difficult. There's constant turnover in the coaching ranks.
This is Beamer's resume according to soonersports.com.

If and when Beamer is hired, this hire will be fully vetted by General Caslen, the board, big time donors, and everyone else. You can't blame this on Tanner. I hope it is Beamer, but for those who don't, you need to find someone to bash besides Tanner. This is a full admin. hire.
