You're fighting a straw man. Do you know what that means? I never said it doesn't happen. You insinuated that we know every offer made to every coach.
Y'all need just need get over yourselves and get behind Coach Beamer...
- Thread starter world famous 3rd base hecklers
- Start date
Help me understand how you know Coach Beamer wasn't courted by other schools.
We did not have to compete with another school to get Coach Beamer. He had no other head coaching offers.
Find me just one article that states he was.
Show me any proof at all.
It can be speculation, not even verified, and I will change what I said.
Find me anything at all.
I have given you a link. I even posted it here after you claimed you couldn't find any info.
Do your own searching if you are not satisfied with what I provided.
I stand by what I posted earlier.
Talking privately to an agent about a coach just to gage his interest might not always be published. When a school actually makes an offer the agent wants that leaked to the sports media. Agent is hoping to get at least two schools into a bidding war. This creates more money for everyone involved. ESPN and others jump on this kind of stuff. They want to be the first to break the news.

I never made that claim. When did I say Shane Beamer had any other offers?
You were bothered by me stating we did not have to compete with another school for Beamer. For some reason that irritated you I suppose. Actually at this moment I am not sure what you are hung up on.
Maybe you should go back and read my initial response. Bothered? No, sir. I asked if you had concrete facts or if you were passing them off as facts.
Yes it is factual that Coach Beamer had no other head coaching offers aside from South Carolina.
This is the problem. We are where we all thought we would be. We need to look long term. I does not matter who the coach is this year. We were going to suck no matter what. Saban struggled his first year at Bama. 5 years down the road where will we be? I just don’t see Beamer as a successful hire. I hope he is, but I don’t see it.
Obviously you are missing any insight at all. Coaching changes and coaching offers are discussed on ESPN and other sports media almost every week. The hot topic right now is the Southern Cal job. They didn't overlook Shane Beamer getting the South Carolina offer. It was discussed daily in the media after Muschamp was fired.
I'm sure it was. And I'm sure you keenly aware of all the negotiations that happened. You win, buddy.
Anybody remember Tom Herman using Ray Tanner. Anybody remember Kirby Smart using us to get the Georgia job. Herman also used LSU to get the Texas job.
I am aware that we did not have to bid against another university to get him to come here.
Who knows if Beamer is the solution. What we do know is that he inherited a team that won 3 out of it's last 18 games.
Those 3 wins consisted of beating Vandy twice and besting an Auburn team that completely self-destructed and fired their coach at the end of the year.
Our talent level is thin. When Muschamp arrived there were NFL-level playmakers: Deebo, Edwards, Skai, Lammons, Fenton, Hurst, Allen-Williams, Dowdle, Charlton, King, Fry, etc.
We have a few solid players here and there, but they are all having to relearn the basics and how to play as a team.
The OL is currently disoriented, but the playcalling as whole seems decent. Most importantly, it actually looks like we want to win football games again.
The defense is playing tougher and tackling is improved.
Overall morale seems much better.
UK at home should give us alot more insight into the work ahead.

That's way too reasonable of a post for these parts.
I really hope A) you're wrong or B) Beamer proves me wrong. Otherwise it will be a miserable half decade.
Yeah, the first 3 games are all you need to see to determine if a coach will be successful….geez.
I’m hoping for “B.” We rolled the dice with Beamer. The hiring is done. The season has begun. Let’s give Coach Beamer and the team our full support. Maybe we get lucky and Beamer turns out to be a great HC at USC. And let’s stop all this infighting. We’re all Gamecocks! We all want to win. Go Cocks! Beat Kentucky!
We actually won 5 of the last 18 games coming into this season which included wins over Georgia and Kentucky.
(see 2019 schedule)
Good call. Last 18 should have been last 16 games. 3-16. Wins: Vandy (2); Auburn
I have. "He is a nice guy and wants to be here. His family really like Columbia and he wants this to be his last job". None of that means he is a winner. Let's see what they say after the season is over. Beat Clemson and all is forgiven. Auburn Saturday will give us a good idea where we are with bobo coming into town.
