Is going to take us to the next level, you are 100% wrong.
If anyone thinks Beamer

How is that any different than any other coach in South Carolina history?
OMG this generation of players, first it was the dropping the ball and the goal line on TDs and some being ruled fumbles, NOW its the simulated shotgun shooting opponents that will ALWAYS get flagged. And just cost us a sack/end of drive
The stupidity is mind blowing

There is always an example that flies in the face of the concept of giving a guy time, but we are a long way from being considered a consistently good program, so why not give the man several years to see if things can start trending in the right direction? Having said that, I do still think Chadwell would have been the right move when Beamer was hired.
We hired on the cheap. If we are honest with ourselves, we would all admit that our university is not serious about football.
Because they know they have a bunch of fools that will support this program no matter what! Funny that we pride ourselves on being the best fans ever because we show up consistently to support a loser!
I remember when fans wanted Spurrier gone after 4 years too.
Give him time because I really don't think anyone would make a difference at our University anyway

Beamer is not a national title winning offensive guru as a head coach. Spurrier earned that extra time with his past success.
But I agree he'll probably get at least next year.
He's a lot more proven than Beamer was.
He’s won every where he’s been. Including giving Charleston Southern their best seasons, probably N. Greenville too, and the success at Coastal should be obvious. No one was trying to make Shane Beamer anything more than he already was…except SC.
Chadwell left Coastal for Liberty, he would have taken this job if offered. And if he made a bigger name for himself and left then so be it.
It is easy to assume he would have come here and set the world on fire but you don't know that would have happened anymore than you knew Beamer wouldn't work out. Hell, one of his receivers is here now and doing nothing.
I don't remember that. A few contrarians (so few I don't remember any) in a sports forum is not the "fans."
There is obviously no guarantee for success or failure.
I would wager a lot of money that Chadwell will be coaching in a power conference long after Beamer is an analyst somewhere.
Maybe so but until he proves himself against real competition, I'm not buying the hype! His Liberty Flames got spanked last year in their bowl game against Oregon. He can beat up the underlings of college football but hasn't proven a thing at the big boy level.
I don’t assume anything, and never said Chadwell would succeed. I never had a reason at the time of Beamer’s hire to believe he would succeed and no one else did either. And yeah, maybe Chadwell would have done nothing here either, plenty of good coaches have done nothing here. But anyone who has remotely sniffed success didn’t come here learning to be a head coach. With all the information that could be known at the time it should have been an easy choice to hire Chadwell over Beamer.
That is a good hindsight take but had Beamer come in here with all his experience coaching with the best college football had to offer and set the world on fire....people would be blowing him and calling Tanner a genius for getting a coach for pennies on the dollar.
Your wrong about that. There were a lot of fans on this board and others as well that wanted him gone.
I remember arguing with them about it.
I honestly don't think Beamer is the problem. I think the problem is the AD (historically) isn't serious about FB and won't pony up the $$$$ to hire top assistants. Beamer is young and he's not using USC as a stepping stone. He'd stay forever if he doesn't get canned first. Gotta have those quality assistants though and ...... Whoever is the main assistant on Defense can stay. The rest of em' gotta go. I really want Beamer to be the guy but he may have sealed his own fate with his assistant hires. JMHO.
Hindsight...call it what you want. Those were my thoughts, don't care if you don't believe them. Nothing has shown up to change them. It would be great if your make-believe scenario happened, I'd love to be wrong about Beamer. Until then I'll keep operating off what I see and in the meantime, you can keep replying to what you wish I would have said.
A neighbor friend of mine has a different TV service than I do. His service was not yet on due to the storm. I invited him over to watch the game. The guy is VERY football smart. During the game, he asked me a telling question:
"What do you think of Beamer?".
He knows what most of us know.
