A new coach doesn't have any players they have recruited, doesn't have their system in place, and hasn't run off the troublemakers yet. If you insist on the first three games being the measure, you will never get a coach here.

It's more likely that the 3 turnovers are what kept us in the game. Sure, we squandered an opportunity for a win but if it wasn't for those 3 turnovers we never would have been close. Kentucky is legit this year. I was more disappointed in the way we looked against Vanderbilt than I was with the loss to Kentucky.
What? Last year he lost to Kentucky 41-18. That's a 23 point blowout.
So you don't think 3 games is enough? How about 7? You seem to be judging by wins and losses. I'm not. I didn't expect to win many games. I'm judging by what I see on the field. IMO, this staff just doesn't have what it takes no matter how many games they play or who they recruit.
You do realize Mike Bobo was coaching that team?
And it was late in the year after the team had quit and we were in upheaval status. Folks forget we were actually competitive to start the year and then the LSU game came and it was all downhill after that.
Exactly. That Kentucky game was the dumpster fire everyone playing for themselves game.
There is no way to determine that in three games. There is a lot to teach and only so many practices. Plus no one looks good on the field against Georgia and so it is really quite a snap judgment you are making.
Of course take away the best thing that happened to you and it makes it worse. Have their 144 yard rusher get -0- yards and SC wins this game.
Of course there is. There have now been 8 games and the same things are holding true. Therefore, the 3 game sample is indicative of the entire season thus far. Another blow out loss against an SEC team is in line with the other blowout losses to the other 2 quality SEC teams faced thus far. I think it is evident as to what we have now from a player and coaching perspective.
EVERYBODY knew what we had at the beginning of season. That's why the over/under for wins was 3.5
And if you told them that we would be playing a grad assistant at QB, they probably would have dropped that to 2.5

That's just not true. We score ZERO points off those turnovers. And our defense was keeping Kentucky out of the end zone. They may have added a field goal or two, at best.
Wait the same defense that can’t stop any other offense?! THE CLAYTON WHITE TURNOVER MACHINEEEEEE
Every single game for the rest of the year I will bring up how absolutely moronic you sound. UK stopped themselves, not USC.
Covid must be a bigger factor here than anywhere else. I saw large crowds all over the place the last few weeks. It will be interesting to see what the crowd is like once Beamer gets things going. I am not sure we will ever see a packed stadium again
I think we all expected 4-8,5-7, maybe 6-6 at best. What we did not expect was that we would be out and I mean game over at half time against UGA, UT, and A&M. We expected to be a little more competitive than what we are right now. I still say 6-6 is not out of the question. I think Clemson and Florida are beatable if the fans show up, get loud, and stay loud.
Way, way to early to give up on Shane.
People are fooling themselves if they thought the wins included struggling with vandy and ecu, and the losses to a&m and UT would be laughably non competitive.
Our offensive woes lie squarely on the oline. When a defense can rush 3 or 4 and still pressure the qb within 2 or 3 seconds...it's a major issue. Heck, even our constant dropped passes has improved....our oline is hurting....I can't recall ever seeing a worse oline.
Don't count mizzo out. We can embarrass ourselves then too
I wouldn't say we are boring....have seen some of the head scratching plays that's been called? Now bad I'll give ya.
Tell your friend he can donate those tickets to vet tix or similar to put butts in those seats...or sell them if need be, although he must realize, he's not getting top dollar for them.
Your defintion of quality must be teams that can beat Alabama. 4-4 looks pretty good to me. He needs at least one upset before the end of the season and the remaining good teams, Clemson, Missouri, etc all look like possibles.
We have a huge problem. We have been told that good fans support the team. We have been doing it for 100+ years. That is a lie.
Good fans demand results. When you figure that out, then you know the truth—- South Carolina has the worse fans in the country.
They will gladly pay thousands of dollars to watch a team that loses week in and week out, year in and year out. No need to produce a winner as the money will keep flowing in. Sure, every few years you need to blame a coach and give them a pay day. Yet you don’t have to figure out the problem—- they are suckers and will keep feeding you money.
120 years of history prove me right.

You are not too smart are you. You told me you would match my giving so match it or shut you mouth.
Boy, you are really stretching like a bungee cord to come up with that nonsense. So 4-4 looks good to you even though they include 3 total blowout losses, 2 cupcake wins(one close), and 2 narrow come from behind wins against teams that shouldn't even be on the field with us? You certainly have low standards.
Not compared to some people around here. I'm not ready to fire the world. But I've been watching football for more than 60 years. I know when a program is bereft. Right now, ours is. I also know when there is more than one reason for the futility.
For a new coach. Plus Georgia blows out everyone and A&M just beat Alabama. I am not sure how people here think a new coach in his first year taking over from the Muschamp disaster is going to be beating Georgia, Alabama and teams that beat Alabama.
