Any regrets on Beamer instead of Chadwell?
- Thread starter Coastal Gamecock
- Start date
Nope. Tanner said before the search began that he was looking for someone with HC experience. Riley came for an interview and per Riley the interview went very well. After he arrived back in Norman, he and Stoops had discussions. Shortly thereafter Riley withdrew his name. Tanner didn't pass over him....he never had the opportunity to offer him. I can't blame Riley nor Tanner. The decision was fait accompli once Stoops had his meeting with Riley.
We have morphed into a "hide behind the keyboard, no accountability, I'm an expert, chest pumping" society ... I have no issues with Beamer being hired ... he works hard to win and I am thankful he is our HC ... USC had issues when SOS was hired and it took him several years to get USC to a national power ... suspect it will be the same for Beamer (and I hope he can do so) ... he brings integrity to the position and his recruiting has been a wonderful surprise ... as many have stated here, I do believe we need an OC ... that is a "Captain Obvious" statement for sure ... Life is good - Peace!
I use "ain't" sometimes in very non-formal communications. I do it deliberately. It ain't a big deal.
umm, mike leaches air raid offense sat at 94yrds at halftime. their offense scored 13 points against uk. ole miss scored less than us also. this didnt age well, did it?
This. We were brainwashed into thinking we would run the ole Oklahoma style offense and get one of the young hot names floating around. Bait and switch lol. It is what it is.
I graduated USC in 69. Check the records. We have been where we are, except for brief periods in perpetuity. Won our ONLY championship (East Division in 94 excepted if you consider that one) that year. Finally won more than seven games in 1980 or so I think. Point I’m making is our “fan base” keeps evolving. Us old ones die and we graduate a few thousand every year. Been a long, not so successful history and my pessimistic prediction is that will likely continue no matter what we “passive” fans do. We average history losing. two of three to UGA and Clemson. Look it up. Good luck on doing “your part”. I will do “my part” too…support financially, buy tickets, and go to games. I don’t know what else “I” could do.
NO REGRETS at All!!! Beamer is the Man for the Job!!! Spurrier Coach of The Year Award & Coach of The Week, it will just get Better and Better...

I do not regret passing on Chadwell as HC, but I'd take a look at him as OC. I know the pro-Chadwell folks lean on the "he's won everywhere he's been" but when that "everywhere" is North Greenville, Delta State, Charleston Southern and Coastal Carolina, that's not super impressive. I'm not saying he can't be or won't be a good good P5 coach one day, I'm not just not willing for us to be the ones to roll the dice. I think it should be noted, there were a BUNCH of jobs open the past couple cycles and Chadwell wasn't seriously linked to any of them. I don't think his name even came up at all this past cycle. It seems there's something that's suppressing interest in him.
Beamer could end up a pretty good hire.
The Muschamp hire is still what perplexes me. Not just the decision to pick him. But all the raises, bonuses and the botched contract stuff that happened. What was Tanner thinking? He probably wasn’t.

Why not Elliott? We already knew Muschamp couldn’t do the job. He couldn’t win at Florida. So there was some . . . ANY . . . possibility that he was going to win here?! I’d have rather rolled the dice on Elliott. At least with him we had a 50% chance of winning.
Its a great win! But remember Muschamp won 9 games in year 2 w that Michigan bowl win. 2 years after we went 3-9 and lost to The Citadel. So this is a great win, and hopefully we finish at leasrlt 7-5 at worst. But we’ll need some 10+ win seasons to say the hire was a clear home run
But last night was a huge step in the right direction!
Two years after we beat Michigan we went 4-8 and didn’t play The Citadel.
No. No No. Let's bail on the coach and staff that beat TAMU last night. We need the guy that lost to Old Dominion by 28 last week. LOL.

This is not directed right at you, but more for the board. Right now there may be about 3 "home run" hires. Though Urban Meyer being the only one I can think of right now. (Holtz and Spurrier fit the bill in the past.) But seriously, who can you guarantee will win in Cola right in this moment?
Chadwell could have worked at USC, or not. The crazy thing is that unless it's an actual "home run," everything is a toss up. So much depends on time and place too. Chadwell might bomb at USC right now, but if he was hired later, would win a decade from now. If hiring head coaches was easy, 30-40% of teams wouldn't be trying to hire them every year. Beamer is showing nothing but promise right now.
Yep. Ask Nebraska. Or VaTech. Or Florida. Or Tennessee. Etc. A lot of programs a lot more established than ours have had problems with coaching hires over the years. The vast majority of times it’s just a crapshoot.
Well, they sure didnt have any trouble with Coastal....
I stood by this last week, and still do now that Missouri is absolutely embarrassing us. Chadwells offense is simple and has been very effective everywhere hes coached. At WORST his offense would be functional. Even if he was our OC, fire Satterfield.
If today is an L, we probably go 6-6, 7-6 at best w a bowl win. Which means after 2 years, this staff is behind Muschamps after 2 years.

You’re delusional. Maybe he won’t be fired, but he is the worst OC I’ve seen. Worse than Roper, McClendon… Satterfield is the worst OC we’ve ever had. And that’s a flat out fact.
