Well, people always were comparing his hire to dabo's.

Edit: I get it, probably sacrilegious. But this strikes me as one of those "it's great when my guy does it, but that other guy looks like an idiot" type of things.
Don’t come out here half steppin’😁

Trying too hard

By the way, Datboy does that silly stuff after they win something. Not at pre-season media days.

We win 8 games, he can dance.

It's a trend that people are doing on Tik Tok. He participated and I'm sure he at least the got attention of some recruits just off this alone.

Cringe to me isn't the same cringe to 13-23 year olds....who are obsessed with this type thing. I think it's great for the program....which is all I care about. Plus....he isn't nearly as awkwardly dorky as Dabo is.....and honestly who on earth can really compete with that D-Bag for cringeworthy quotes or terrible dance moves?

Very impressionable to young recruits - he'll do anything for the team and have fun doing it.
This dance video, Full House video and Duke mayo bath. Appears very genuine compared to other coaches. My two cents.

The old man vibes on this board are strong. Currently SC football is among the highest ranking schools in the country for overall social media interaction. This is what you have to do to sell your program and create a buzz. It has been retweeted and commented on by multiple celebrities and influencers... It's a huge win.

Old man here, but I still recognize the importance of our presence on social media. Ours is first class.
As stated above, Shane comes across as really genuine compared to others and believe me recruits know the difference.

I'm certainly past the age where that type of music would appeal to me BUT I enjoyed it and definitely NOT cringe worthy. OP, why would you post that it was cringy in the first place?
The team and Shane were having fun but you throw cold water.

I cruised through it twice. Just as much fun the second time. Forget about comparisons with that guy in the upstate.

Justin King has become an integral part of our public face and he hasn't fumbled yet.

If I were to do a Tik Tok video? Yes, that would be cringe worthy for a 55 year old IT manager.

However, my job retention and success does not depend on grabbing the attention of 16, 17 and 18 year old boys, who spend half their waking hours glued to social media trends.

If you're not considering the context, then you're not really considering the issue.

The only thing Cringe Worthy is crap opinions about when our coach and his social media presence is doing things to bring positive attention to the University.
it has over 1 million views. The actual value of that transfer is staggering
Get on the bus or get off. Imo

He ain't doing it for you. While you cringe, recruits don't. They're the target and it is in touch with the times in recruiting so regardless of what you and I see in it it's what's in tune with other programs and the all out war in college football.
