We aren't that poorly coached.
We just don't have a lot of talent at key positions.
Not only are our coaches bad they’re poor at identifying talent and spending NIL money.

Favored by 13. Lost by 28. To ODU. At home.
I'm also old enough to remember when Garrett Riley was amazing.
But amazing in JV leagues rarely translates to amazing when you play the big boys of the SEC.
You can say that about nearly every USC coach for the past 60 years. So really nothing different now.
As even Ellis Johnson said a few weeks ago to Phil Kornblut- that he was pretty lucky when he was at USC that we had some huge difference makers right here in South Carolina that were interested in coming here- and that window was a small window- that closed even while Spurrier was still here.

Someone definitely jumped the gun on this one.
Such an odd argument when the reasonable person would say Chadwell and Riley are better than Beamer and Loggains.
We’ve been bad for 60 years because we keep hiring bad coaches like Beamer.
No foresight to hire a Kiffen or Freeze.
Funny that you are delusional enough to think that either would have EVER consider coming here. We couldn't even get Napier to leave Louisiana to come here.
Ole Miss is one of the few SEC schools we were considered a better job than.
Mississippi State - Maybe. Ole Miss - No.
Ole Miss is the Clemson of that State.
No idea why you guys try to lie about stuff to prove your point.
We were clearly the better job versus Ole Miss until we started to suck which coincided with us hiring Muschamp and Beamer while they had Freeze and Kiffin.

And Kiffin that said South Carolina players end up pumping gas for a living.
You mean Freeze that got Ole Miss in all kinds of trouble. And Kiffin that said South Carolina players end up pumping gas for a living.
Like I said, we couldn't even get Napier to leave Louisiana to come here. BOTH knew they had better options that SC. Even Rich Rod supposedly turned us down.
Delusions of grandeur.
I’ll never understand thinking so little of your favorite school.
Why even be a fan if you’re just going to think “we have to suck”
Nobody ever said that. The answer is money. Send some or STFU.
Crying like a little bitch on the internet 24/7 about coaches that would never consider us sure as hell won't get it done.

I'm in my second year of giving to the Garnet Trust. I don't give a lot, but I give more than the minimum.
If it is really so important to you howling monkeys that you are willing to cry 24/7/365, put your money where your mouth is. Maybe it will help.

How does money help if we think the person spending it is the problem?
Nobody block last year eitherWell, part of that is because our QB hasn't been able to push the ball down the field. Until he does, teams are going to bring pressure. That's tough on an Oline.
What's your metric?
The fact the Ole Ball Coach wanted to see if he could somewhere most deemed unwinnable?
That's called an aberration.
Yeah, not a lot of those guy wanting a challenge anymore. Most are looking for the best situation possible. Don't see that being us for any hot name coach.

You think Kiffin is a GREAT coach? He was only 7-6 at UT, 28-15 at So. Cal., 26-13 at FAU, and 38-15 at Ole Miss. he is 2-4 in bowl games. His win total is 99-49. What is so great about that? He got fired at So. Cal. He got released of his duties as OC at Bama.No one would have called Ole Miss the best situation possible but they took the risk on a great coach with some baggage. Look at them and look at us.

He has a decent team right now, but that may not be good enough in 2 weeks.

You guys can argue "great" vs "good" vs "effective". But the guy can coach.
He was 7-6 at UT. That was his only year and they had losing seasons the year before and after that.
He took over southern cal when they went under massive probation. I hesitate to judge him based on that.
At FAU? They were 3-9 the three seasons before he got there. He went 11-3, 5-7 and then 11-3. Winning the conference the two 11 win seasons. After he left, they went 5-4, 5-7, 5-7.
At Bama he left to be the head coach at another school. Saying he got "released from his duties" is an odd way to put that he got a promotion. But again, Bama out talented a lot of people, so I hesitate to judge him on his success there.
Then there's Ole miss, who are undoubtedly better with him.
So he improved UT, FAU and Ole Miss. Did a good job at Bama, and failed at a probation stop in California.
All in all, that's a pretty good resume. I would take him in a heartbeat to coach us.
With the coaches and talent, he has brought in; we are a much better team.
A lot of people criticize Tanner for hiring a man with no HC experience. But Beamer did have plenty of FB experience and that is going to make him a good HC.
Spurrier took over a worse program and didn't have the transfer portal to quickly replace talent.Spurrier went 7-5, 8-5, 6-6, 7-6, and 7-6 his first 5 years here after being 122-27 before coming here. Beamer has gone 7-6, 8-5, and 5-7. Only one less win than the great had gotten his first 3 years.
I just do not see this as poor coaching. Give him a chance to show what he can do.
Kiffin got good when the money got good. End of story.
By the way, our defense is ranked 20th in the nation. which is excellent. Looking forward to the match up with Ole Miss: our defense vs their offense. Should be a good one.
Wonder why you didn't respond to the post that shows we've always had much more money than Ole Miss?
Kiffin is a very good coach, one of the best in college football. He is an offensive-minded guy, which is most important in today's college football. In fact, his offense today, is ranked number one in college football, averaging 670 yards per game. We are ranked 87th out of 133 teams, averaging 371 yards per game. That's POOR on our part . Hopefully, Beamer will iron out the problems on offense during the off week.

Yes, he got fired at Southern Cal, midway in his 4th season. Was it warranted? He was 28-15 at that point including producing a number 6 team in the nation in his 2nd season. Beamer is 23-19 at practically the same stage, producing the number 23 team in the nation in his 2nd season. Based on that, we should fire Beamer TODAY. I suspect that something other than coaching ability got Kiffin fired. Kiffin has produced Top 10 teams or conference championships at 3 different schools. I would not sell Kiffin short.You think Kiffin is a GREAT coach? He was only 7-6 at UT, 28-15 at So. Cal., 26-13 at FAU, and 38-15 at Ole Miss. he is 2-4 in bowl games. His win total is 99-49.

Thank you Junior. I knew I could always count on a response from you.Botman - I was waiting for the Stock Account to chime in with his Kiffin fawning.
It seemed a little strange that you served up that Kiffin softball post so the Lurker Account could drool.
Uncustomary.
What does that have to do with NIL collectives, Watson?
