"South Carolina football in the Shane Beamer Era remains one of the most unpredictable, up-and-down, zig-zagging organizations in sports. We just don’t know what we’re getting from week to week from this team. We’ve called it the Roller Coaster, and I even nicknamed the phenomenon The Shane Beamer Experience – an always interesting, often entertaining, occasionally maddening and absolutely all over the place ride that never quite ends where you think it will. Call it what you will, but the only thing we know for sure about Gamecock football right now is that we aren’t sure about anything. Anything’s possible, nothing’s possible, everything’s possible."

Ain't just Beamer. We've never been able to build on a surprise win, ever. Except for the Spurrier years when we expected to win every week.

I read David Cloninger's write up today. Words in that column included: undisciplined, sloppy, disjointed mess, coaching staff problems and coaching longevity problems.

It is amazing to me that this university decided to put someone who has never even been an Offensive or Defensive Coordinator, much less Head Coach, into the SEC to get on-the- job training. I would have thought that by year 4, the training wheels would have come off.

Only possible good news - Shane definitely reads these things. He definitely knows he's on the hot seat with the fans now. He knows it's about to break one way or the other. If nothing changes from here on out : Bye. Thanks for trying, but Bye.

The 'Peter Principal' is a management concept that states 'employees are eventually promoted to a level of incompetence'

BUT, if what if those 'employees' never had any experience? I.E., using football, was NEVER a HC at a lower level, was NEVER an Offensive Coordinator nor Defensive Coordinator, was NEVER a Backfield Coach or Head Line Coach? Isn't the Recruiting Coordinator the kid who collects the sweaty Jock Straps for his Father's team?

Beamer Ball??? ... HhMmm!

Sort of like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates——

One of Scott's best.
