Word gets around college coaching ranks. There is no respect for Beamer AND, it is known that Beamer is a short-timer, very likely fired next season. What sailor wants to get on a sinking ship?
Same could be said about Paris and our Baseball coach.
I hope Donati knows what he's doing. Others have stated on here that Donati is obviously smart and has a plan.
Would not shock me to see Furrey promoted.
I dunno. It would seem unthinkable after the Clemson game.
And Beamer will say, "he was my first choice."
Just skimming his bio on the Navy football page, he seems interesting - Sounds loads better than what we currently have.
I don't think he'd be anyone's top pick, but, yes, a sure improvement over Furrey.
I said he would over 3 weeks ago and was told I was a fool ,basically! That’s Beamer’s
As a recruiter, Beamer is on par with Muschamp and no better than Spurrier and Holtz. When he was being pushed to be Head Coach here, we were told he was some sort of super recruiter who would bring in talent like never before seen at Carolina. That argument has NOT come to fruition.
I'll say his recruiting isn't a liability. We haven't seen a bump, but we also haven't seen a dip. I think we're about where we always have been recruiting-wise: Mid-teens to low 20s nationally, bottom half of the SEC.
We are currently 9th in the 16-team SEC. 4 of the 7 we are currently ahead of are in the midst of Head Coaching changes. That looks pitiful.
More than I thought, to be honest. I knew it would be a deterrent, but I thought we could fairly easily get a G5 OC who would relish the chance to work in the SEC for a very competitive salary.
C'mon dude. You don't know that. Furrey was thrown into a bad situation. It's not even his playbook or schemes.
Our situation is such we need someone who has actually run an offense somewhere besides Limestone. Shane doesn't have the benefit of bringing on OC who has a learning curve.
I have thought the same, even if it's a one year stop. Have a good family friend who is beginning his journey into coaching and intends to be a college coach. He knows frequent moving is coming his way and accepts it. Given that is part of the job I would have thought that Beamer could find someone from the lower ranks who fits the bill. Granted, we have no idea what is actually happening. So for comparison's sake, it doesn't look good that with so many HC vacancies everyone is filling them up rather quickly save for Penn St. That may mean nothing at all for SC, but if its a fair comparison it doesn't bode well.
I've been saying he has a track record of turning offenses around and COY Awards and making programs winners.
Definitely not, but in his defense, NIL and the portal have screwed the mid and lower tier teams, we just don't have the NIL money to spend against many that we recruit against. Sad.
Might not be his system, but when you have it 3rd and 3 in the 4th quarter, with time running down, and you throw it downfield 20 yards it tells me a lot.
South Carolina is an example of this. Does anyone disagree that the 2 best Head Coaches we have ever had are Steve Spurrier and Joe Morrison? Those 2 coaches were not considered to be great recruiters. Their strength was on the coaching end of the job. That's the only type of coach who can succeed here. We are in a small state with a recent national championship rival and within a short drive from other recent national championship opponents. It's tough to recruit here.
agree with the majority of this. He's pretty cunning in these hires during his tenure. I've said it on here many times....he keeps picking "lesser thans" that "never have" done much.
Tells me that had our qb given our guy a chance it likely would have worked; catch or PI. Remember rattlers throw to Adkins in 2022; changed the game. It was a two down call but the shorts haven’t exactly been gimmes this year or that game; calls are only bad when someone doesn’t execute.
I thought it was a two down call as well. I just didn’t like it because 1) we were shoving it down their throats for the first time all game will the read and now you break that momentum, 2) I thought it was a predictable pattern we established Saturday (although it was a terrible throw or a terrible route), and 3) the 4th down play I did not think was a great call (boot against his throwing side on what I assumed was a qb run/pass option even though they were spying him on every play)…just thought the design limited options to make a play.
Scar almost always finishes ranked above Missouri in recruiting. Working out better on the field for them than us.
