Dear Board of Trustees: Don't hire Chance Miller. Go make a big ******* hire.

Why at 65…do we have to continue paying Ray Tanner until 2028! Just a nice way to get him to step aside. He will make $1,175,000 until next summer. $987,500 until the summer of 2026. $800,000 until 2028!

Pretty sure his contract ends in 2026.

I maybe wrong…but I think I read that this new contract goes to 2028 and a salary of $800,000. After he completes his current contract, the $800,000 starts. Anyway you look at it…it is a sweet deal for Ray.

Sweet Baby Ray.

I think we can count on the BOT to screw this up. I have as much confidence in them as I do the NCAA.

 

[92Pony]

Sweet Baby Ray.

That's some pretty decent BBQ sauce.

 

[rockingamecock]

BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD IN MONTHS.

 

[gamecock stock]

IF the BOT has any sense, they will hire a FOOTBALL guy, someone who KNOWS the game.

Okay, I read the full article. His contract as AD was until 2026, but this role will be until 2028.

Do you think they are setting this up to replace any particular coaches this year? If so, they need to move quickly on this AD position.

Beamer won't be replaced unless there is a show cause coming.

 

[SuperCock99]

Great news for Gamecock Nation. Ray is a horrible, horrible A/D. I think the job was a retirement gig for him. Thats how he seemed to treat it.

 

[FootballLVR]

They could be setting up for it. We shall see. Is his buyout that high? I guess I haven't been paying enough attention.

What better day than Friday the 13th?

This could not make me happier. Time to go find a real AD who has extensive financial talent and is willing to tell the BOT to pound sand.

 

[Sweetwatergolf]

Don't think we'll ever get your BOT request.

 

[Atlanta Cock]

If they were smart they would hire two ppl: a finance guy and a sports guy.

Absolutely, at least. Do we have a strong Athletic Department? I'm not sure we do.

Not as high as Muchchamp. Grounds for dismissal might do away with a buyout.

 

[18IsTheMan]

Depending on how this season goes for football, it will be interesting to see how a new AD approaches it. Some ADs go in and fire underperforming coaches right away. Certainly I think this warms up Beamer's seat a bit. With Ray, he was likely safe until next season, no matter the outcome of this season. I think he loses that cushion though.

If you bring in a dispassionate AD who looks at 5-7 last year and 5-7 or worse this year, he may decide to move on and bring in his own guy.

Ray is the only reason Beamer is here anyway. Ray is a Gamecock and he was obviously heavily swayed by the opinions of former players and Beamer's previous association here. I don't think Beamer would have been on another AD's radar.

Hopefully we win tomorrow and this becomes a non-issue.

Yep. Theyll make Dawn Staley AD. Then we will go from a baseball coach making football decisions to a WBB coach making football decisions.

They wont. It will be Dawn Staley or some other non revenue sport coach who won something af USC

Oh my. I would not put that past them though.
