Would Duce Staley be a good OC

[gamecox4982]

for Carolina?

Bring back Erick Kimery as OC. When he was on 107.5, I always thought his football analyses were good.

 

[Rogue Cock]

for Carolina?

Has he gotten his degree yet?

 

[Dod Rangerfield]

for Carolina?

He sure would.

 

[TheByrdman]

Maybe if he had his degree. Until such occurs, you might as well beat a dead horse because nothing else can happen.

 

[Go Gamecocks]

He has bigger shoes at Detroit Lions. NFL guy.

 

[18IsTheMan]

He hasn't been around the college game for decades.

This. And NFL offenses are borrowing from college offenses - not the other way around. We don't need an OC with a learning curve.

Lets me real, most degrees in todays world are worthless - Anyone can go online pay their money and get degree without doing much of anything - What about having a degree does in matter in football - Hell most of the guys playing will never get one

It's the optics of having a guy who never finished college coaching student athletes. Yeah, we all know a lot of the players aren't here for the degree, but your coaches should still set an example.

 

[Gamecock Jacque]

Is he an OC somewhere now? Has he ever been one? Haven't kept up. If not I think we should stop being an entry-level school for coaches.

 

[Lurker123]

for Carolina?

If he hadn't played here, would you still consider him?

The vast majority of NCAA football players get their degrees. Even if you narrow it to FBS, or even just Power 5 - most players graduate.

To your other point - what does it have to do with coaching football? Nothing.

that’s why I always thought there should be a football major. Let players learn more about in-game theory, coaching, etc. They have dance majors, art majors, music majors - why not majors that are for playing/coaching specific sports?

So doesn't call plays? I think we can and should do better but with RT sounds about right.

Why would any SEC school hire an NFL RB coach that's never been an OC as an OC?

It's possible Duce already makes as much $$ if not more than most CFB OCs.

Why would South Carolina hire anybody who's never been a... Never mind.

In a bind? Low on $$? Looking for something else that wasn't a "retread"?

Shane made a huge rookie mistake. He has to rectify this or he's destine to be another former HC.

He definitely made some bad personnel decisions as a rookie head coach. But, veteran coaches make bad hires all the time. SOS made a few here. Many towards the end.

The trick is recognizing the mistake and fixing it.

We have the team the pumpers deserve. The rest of us want better.
