I do not think we are an embarrassment to college football. If we were ever a good team and we suddenly started playing like this it would be embarrassing. What we are seeing on the field this year is standard procedure for Gamecock teams. We have been doing this forever.
The way the ball bounces. I cannot explain how the ball always bounces the wrong way for us all the time. Whether it is bouncing off a goal post, bounces off a players back while fielding punts or bounces off our receiver into the DB’s hands. We just have bad luck with balls.
Coaching hires and contracts. I cannot explain how our AD’s hires loser coaches and give them record contracts for one good season. We did it with Phat Brad, we hired Chump after UF fired him and we already knew he was not a Head Coach (a good DC) and we hired Beamer because his Dad was a good coach (I guess hoping that genetics would win for us?). Then we gave these failures huge contracts that make it impossible to fire them. Why? And we did it in MBB as well.
Superstar players. I cannot explain how our multi-millionaire star players always fail to work out? I see other teams who have real star players that are working for far less than we are paying ours. Our coaches have to be some of the worst talent evaluators in all of college football. Again, a player has one good season and over-pay for years after.
Loyal fans. I cannot explain it, but there is still a thing called a “Shane Train”. Half of our fans still love the guy because he is “nice” and “really wants to be here”. No other program that I am aware of holds on to and rewards mediocre performing coaches (and AD because he won some baseball games 20 years ago) like we do. Why? It is not embarrassing because we have been doing this crap for so long!
Administration. We have always had meddling BOT’s and administrations going back to when I was a student in the 1980’s. Ever heard of Holderman? This is systemic and apparently never fixable. So if we replace Beamer this will be done by the same types of people who hired Phat Brad, Chump and Beamer.
Refs. SEC refs have been screwing us since we joined this conference. The ACC was screwing us as well back then, so we left them to eventually get the same result in the SEC. Are we not paying them off? Not paying enough? Do we not have enough of our former players and alumni working as SEC refs to help us out. I do not know why we get so many bad calls and non-calls? I have seen a SEC ref actually tackle our QB once to cost us a game.
Doing the same thing again and again, I expect that if we do find the money fire Beamer we will end up a team that is the same or worse. It’s systemic here!
