Mike Norvell Will Be the South Carolina Gamecocks Head Coach in 2025
When first taking over for the Florida State Seminoles, Mike Norvell came into a situation where the standards were high, but they weren’t being met. This included three straight consecutive years …
I'm not sure about that. But I do think that if Beamer fails, they won't roll the dice again on someone who has previously failed as a Head Coach or who has never been a Head Coach. They will go after a proven, successful FBS Head Coach. Those are the only kind of hires who have been successful in football here (Dietzel, Carlen, Morrison, Holtz, and Spurrier).Warning: strong click-bait potential.

Yes, his superiority to two coaches that won national championships jumps out at you
. Admittedly, there have been disappointments, but this is no job for the untested, not if you are the one rolling the dice.
Same publication wrote Dieon to UF and Ryan Day to Miami both for 2025. Nonsensical is an understatement.

Beamer didn't have a zero win season to bounce back from.
The coaches you mention did great, but the success was brief, limited, and accompanied by a lot of mediocrity.
We got Spurrier and Holtz in the tail end of their careers. There is no telling what they would have accomplished if we got them in their 40s. Morrison died. If he had lived, the 1990s would have looked different than it did in the Woods/Scott eras. Jim Carlen was fired shortly after his 2nd 8-win season for non-football reasons. If they had left him alone, what he might have accomplished in the 1980s would have been interesting to see. Regarding Dietzel, I think he wanted to go full-time into administration. He did not coach after age 50, and certainly was young enough to do so. So, yes, success was brief and there was some mediocrity, especially in the beginning when you are building a program like South Carolina that has little good football tradition. So, in all cases, the coaches either retired from college coaching for good, died or fired for non-football reasons. The point is that a good, young coach can win at South Carolina. Being young means he can sustain the program for the long run. Beamer is young. But he hasn't been a successful Head Coach prior to coming here. I'm pulling for Beamer. That being said, I believe it's fair to say that the jury is still out on Beamer.
Beamer took over a program that won 2 game the prior season. Really not much difference
This history review is depressing me.
Made me smile. Kinda like a light at the end of a tunnel. ... just hope it's not a freight train heading towards you.
That's what jumped out to me as well. Brad Scott destroyed Holtz's winning percentage. In comparison, Beamer was handed a pretty good team.
Let's face it, Holtz should have quit after Year Three and handed it to Skip. His efforts to reinvent Jenkins as his next Tony Rice set the stage for his decline.
Lou had with a 0-11 first season with the 1-win team he inherited from Brad Scott. There's quite a bit of difference.
Oh, I see what you are saying. Yeah, if you are a coach and don’t win any games that digs a hole, hard to argue with that
a-c, I totally understand. I was around back in 1974, as part of the GROD (Get Rid Of Dietzel) group. I included him because he won our only conference championship.
