If one of those 6 wins is against Clemson then it is an improvement over last year.And, sorry to burst bubbles, but 6 wins is not even improvement over last year.

6-8 wins a season with the occasional 9-10 will probably keep your job as long as you can walk.In year 4 a team is the coach's team and what you see is pretty much what you are going to have going forward. No successful coach in the current era of college football has magically become great after 4 mediocre seasons. If 6 wins is what the fans demand to be satisfied, I think Beamer may be the man for the South Carolina job. He may not hit that magic number this season but I think he will most seasons.
Spurrier doesn't have a statue, so it'll take more than that. But you're right it would be plenty good enough to keep your job in perpetuity.6-8 wins a season with the occasional 9-10 will probably get you a statue around here.
Yeah, I exaggerated. But there's a grain of truth in it.Spurrier doesn't have a statue, so it'll take more than that. But you're right it would be plenty good enough to keep your job in perpetuity.
Spurrier, overall, was not a 9-10 win coach. 6 of his 10 full seasons here, he was a 6-8 win guy. So you weren't far off, I don't think. If we ever had a coach who could consistently win 9-10 games for a prolonged period, he would be considered coaching deity.Yeah, I exaggerated. But there's a grain of truth in it.
And, given the conference we play in, a consistently winning coach should be considered a success. I believe the best we can ask for is a guy who is a perennial winner and makes a an occasional run at the conference championship. Apparently, I'm asking too much.Spurrier, overall, was not a 9-10 win coach. 6 of his 10 full seasons here, he was a 6-8 win guy. So you weren't far off, I don't think.

I think we should be a bowl eligible team at a minimum.
