If he would have given at any point this past season just ONE indication ON THE FIELD that his focus was to win games for the university of south carolina i would be solidly in his camp. He did not.
Duckworth may have been a compelling reason for Briles to consider coming to SC, although I doubt it was the primary reason.
Goodness, I hope we aren't paying him anywhere close to that much. He should be getting less than whatever he got last year.
SMH . . . unbelievable how easy it is to make money based on the results of playing HS football.
Now imagine how he would've transferred somewhere else who offered more money after his first year.
Very interesting, especially if Sellers has not yet signed with USC. The plot thickens??
Also, just read that his brother plays baseball here. If Sellers is trying to milk this thing, maybe we just say OK no thanks and move on.
That’s what I was thinking, too. . . Sellers may want too much $$$ and he may have overplayed his leverage (or, lack thereof).
I don't think Beamer has a problem with that. Remember that linebacker (I think?) last year who came to Beamer after like 4 games (and a rocky start for us) and told Beamer he thought he should redshirt??? - And Beamer told him it would be best for him to transfer and showed him the door.
I’ll disagree with one thing, he doesn’t need to be re-made, he needs an offense built around his strengths and one that hides his weaknesses. We were trying to force him to be a drop back passer who can go through 4-5 progressions. That’s not who he is. He needs to be taught to cut the field in half pre-snap, and work one side. we need to find ways to put players in space one on one. Need to play basketball on the football field, force DBs to tackle one on one. You can do that in Briles offense. I am looking forward to it.
So, you want Briles to install what is effectively a HS offense. In HS, a great athlete like Sellers is dominant enough physically to make that "one read and then run" offense work. College LBs, DL and safeties are too fast and too good for the HS "everybody go long and I'll run it" offense to work enough for it to be the offense.
A good QB leaving can make or break a season. Beamer doesn't have that problem with Sellers.
It would be a boss move to have Hoover in for a visit and walk into the building while they are negotiating with Sellers.
I'd hope Briles is smart enough to play to our strengths and away from our glaring weaknesses. I'd hope.
True. Most of us want to forget the team for a while. Concentrate on pleasant stuff.
If I were SB, I'd move on from Sellers.
I've been making that point for months now. Sellers is NOT a good QB. Beamer clinging to him is like an abused wife who stays with the husband who is beating her because she "remembers all the good times".
I don't think it's that simple. Regardless of NIL, these are still players on schollys that we recruited. We can't just dump them.
Let’s get one thing straight out in the open. I’ve forgotten more about calling plays and scheming offense than you’ll ever know. You can’t twist my words by trying to make me spin like a simpleton. When you call a concept based passing play, normally the QB will identify the coverage and work one side of the field. The more recent adjustments have forced teams to go back to true progression reads IE 1,2,3,4 checkdown.
The KISS method you mentioned makes perfect sense. Success is more likely.
JMO, but while he has the ability, I don't think he has what it takes between the ears and in his chest. I also think Briles will not put up with his poor performance next year.
