Outgoing interim coach and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo is another. We wrote last week Connor Shaw is a possibility if he chooses to coach or work in a behind the scenes role. In fact, his isolation period ended on Sunday and that allowed him to fly to Columbia to begin his job with the Gamecocks.Īs for his coaching and support staffs, we’re told Beamer hopes to include several former Gamecocks or those with ties to the program. Beamer, however, told Sexton he was happy with the offer, that this was not about the money for him but rather an opportunity to have his dream job.īeamer had multiple conversations with Tanner over the last three weeks and laid out for him, point by point, his plans for elevating the Gamecock program to championship status.īeamer didn’t coach in Oklahoma’s win over Baylor Saturday night because he was in Covid protocol. According to a source connected to the sports agency business, Sexton recommended to Beamer not to accept that offer because he believed he could get him more. We’re told Ray Tanner negotiated directly with Beamer and not thru his agent Jimmy Sexton. So, that’s a correction on our part as we had been calling this next coach #35.īefore we sign-off, here are a few final pieces of information we learned from sources while making the long ride back from Kentucky Sunday.Īccording to sources, Beamer is expected to receive a five year contract at $2.75 million per season, one laden with incentives. And it is 36 because USC has counted interim head coaches as part of their history of head coaches. It’s usefulness ended Sunday afternoon with the official naming of Shane Beamer as the 36th head coach. We started on November 15th, and 25 blogs later, it’s over. Well, we’ve come to the end of the line with the USC search spit-blog.
#SHANE BEAMER POST GAME INTERVIEW UPDATE#
We will keep the blog posted at the top of the website and update it with our information. As a service to you, we have created the spit-blog, a blog for spitballing the names associated with the search, along with the rumors, and facts, that are attached to them. There’s nothing more common to a coaching search than the media and fans spewing out the names of would-be candidates. The University of South Carolina officially commenced the search for its 36th head football coach November 15th with the announcement that Will Muschamp had been relieved of his duties after 58 games.
