Still no DC. Kind of thought we’d know by now.
- Thread starter gr8spur
- Start date
Either they are still negotiating with Mason or Steele, or it is someone who is still coaching.
Or, maybe we are going to try it without a DC

You forgot one, Bateman from UNC, who's been in the mix from the start.
Yes, sorry about that. Bateman has been mentioned. And he’s coaching this evening. So maybe it’s him.
Can’t afford either. We are in that Dollar General payroll
Yep that 30 point a game Bateman fits well at sc smh
Is JohnThompson available? He could bring back his no line up but stand up instead D.
Actually, I think we pay the coordinator position pretty handsomely. Wasn’t Bobo’s pay on par with SEC OC’s?
I just went and read a few bio’s on Coach Jay Bateman. I didn’t know anything about him. After those reads, I’m all for a Bateman hire. Him or Mason are my choices.
Does it matter. Fgf will crucify any pick.
Not me. Not this go round. I was a Muskrat basher, but I’m going to get behind Beamer and his staff. They have my backing 100%, for now. Got to give him a chance.
AMEN!!! I had no idea there were so many experts out there... and by experts I mean people that must find something to complain about.
I know your post is just another insult to our school.
but we can hire either if choose to but doesn’t mean we go that route
Please....I hope it's not Bateman. If it is however, it leaves zero doubt who selected the HC this go-round.
But with Tanner in Charge He cares more about meeting some ridiculous limited budget than Actually Winning which should be the most Important thing, Winning should be Our number 1 Priority
Tanner has NEVER used finances as an excuse. Has always told the coaches they could have whatever they thought they needed. He is definitely not the one being budget conscious.
Perhaps the real reason is because we never had any plan or any realistic candidate in mind before we fired Muschamp. Look at UT today. They fired Herman because they knew they had Sark lined up. Texas probably already has the D coordinator they want signed. That’s the difference between a bold and competent AD (see Texas) and a timid, incompetent AD (see Ray Tanner).
And the amazing thing is no one saw this coming. No speculation or anything. They kept it quiet and got the deal done on the down low.
Although Mason is my first choice, after watching UNC's defense against aTm for a half I think I'd be ok with Bateman if that's who we go with.
I am more concerned with his defense overall since he has been at UNC. Tonight has been good though.
Guilty as charged. Go Cocks! The Shane Train Express is about to leave the station, and I’ve got a ticket to ride!
Other than a few guys on the d line the rest of the d is garbage. Nobody will be able to coach this current roster next year and be even an average D. We will be lucky to have the 13th best D in the Sec next year. Please tell me otherwise?
Hunter and Smith looked good toward the end of the year. Wish we could've held onto Dixon, Sanders, and Jammie. Jones and Kaba should be good at LB and hopefully Louis begins to live up to his talent.
We’ve got some talent on the d-line, as you said. Going to have to find some players out of the 10-11 db’s on the roster, plus go JUCO and TP fishing. Same with LB’s. A good hire will patch together a serviceable D. Have faith.
Try to pay attention to how they play. Do they show discipline? Do they show composure? Are they better conditioned? Nobody’s trying to convince you the gamecocks will be world beaters next year.
Exactly, wat
Watch and see if their fundamentals improve....I am betting they will.
Why is the speed of the hire in a year when we made our hire early all of a sudden such a big deal? This is an odd year, we will announce the hire when it happens. If I may quote Aaron Rodgers- RELAXXX... DC is important: let’s get “the guy” when he is available.
Not sure that there are that many "experts" out there....may be. To me it is more of the same suspects spewing their anti Beamer sentiments on just about every post they think is remotely relevant.
There’s an old saying that 10% of people ruin it for the other 90%. This is one of those times.
Really. Do your research before coming here. Coach Beamer is the lowest paid head coach in the SEC and just barely makes the average Salary for College HCs Nation wide.
Steve Sarkeesian was paid 2.5 million as an OC.
Brent Venobles made 2.4 Million this year.
Kevin Steele was paid 2.5 Million this year.
I Like the Coaches we have, but what Football Assistant Coaches do we have that deserve and have earned a 2 to 2.5 Million Dollar Annual Salary?
Tanner hired Beamer because he knew his lack of EXPERIENCE as a HC would justify paying Coach Beamer the lowest Annual Salary in the SEC.
However, Tanner did Over pay a ridiculous and undeserved Buyout to Muskrat. A coach that no one in the country will hire as a HC.
Ingenious Idea.
Let's just see who we hire as a DC and what he gets paid.Assistant Coaching Annual Salaries
