We need to go after Chadwell.

Nope. Beaner has an iron clad 4 more years, AS LONG AS he doesn’t have any 2-10, 1-11 type seasons. Tanner will be ok with 5-7’s for a few more years.
I'm beginning to think that it doesn't matter who the coach is here . . . other than Spurrier's short run, we've had nothing but mediocrity for 100+ years.
People need to become more familiar with our history. We were on our way with Jim Carlen before he was fired by Holderman because he would not give Holderman free reign over athletic department monies. Joe Morrison had us on the way before he died. Admittingly, I do not know what would have happened due to the steroid situation. But Morrison produced our first nationally ranked teams (2). Holtz produced our next nationally ranked teams (2). But Lou was at the tail end of his career. SOS produced our first Top 10 teams (3). But Steve was at the tail end of his career, too. Hire a young, proven Head Coach who has won at the FBS level, a coach with an offensive background. Do that and I believe you will be pleasantly surprised at the results. Of course, there are never "sure things". But that kind of hire gives you a realistic chance. Right now, we are going to war in the SEC with squirt guns led by a nepo baby hire who excells at only hugging players, patting them on their rear ends and clapping his hands. That is no way to compete in the shark-infested waters of the strongest college football conference in the nation. Look, we have won big in baseball and women's basketball, sports that the SEC has traditionally excelled in. We can do the same in football, with a smart hire.
We make terrible hiring decisions. Kiffin, Heupel, Sarkisian, Dan Lanning were all available when Mischamp was floundering. We hired a failed defensive coach to follow a hall of fame offensive coach and then a Tight Ends coach with sparce experience. What did we expect to get? Stupid is as stupid does.
NOPE. That bridge was burned by Tanner. He was the perfect hire and Tanner said no, in part due to arrogance of USC influencers who couldnt tolerate someone “who aint got SEC experience”
That decision will haunt us for a long time
Chadwell makes $4 million/year. Offer him Beamer's salary and, I guarantee that ship, will sail into Charleston Harbor.
No it wont. I have a couple friends who work/worked for him. Hes always said he wants to stay in the TN/NC/SC/VA mountains area. Dream job Tennessee, second Va Tech. He knows Va Tech will open sooner rather than later. His family loves SC and especially our coasts, so USC was an obviously appealing job. We had our chance to land him and Tanner bombed it. He will wait out Va Tech, or even Tennessee if Heupel falls apart in a couple years. Chadwell is an East Tennessee guy
