USC head coach Shane Beamer made it clear recently that he was not planning to rush the hire, but would balance that with the fact that December represents a key month for Gamecock football recruiting.
“Certainly, we know we can’t wait forever and we’re not going to, either,” he said. “Everyone wants it done tomorrow but I want to make sure he’s the right fit for everyone involved not just in the short term but the long term as well and what’s best for South Carolina football.”

During a press conference discussing USC’s berth to the Gator Bowl, Beamer also detailed what he would be looking for in his next OC:
“You’re looking at what kind of person they are, first of all. We want to make sure they fit with what we’re doing in that building and how they would fit potentially with the coaches you already have on staff,” Beamer said. “Then, schematically, what they believe in and what it could potentially look like. Does that person help get the best out of the current personnel you have on offense? Then background: where they’ve been, where they’ve recruited, coaches they’ve been around, systems they’ve been a part of.”

Beamer continued:
“Have they called plays before, have they not called plays before if they’ve been a coordinator? Have they been in the SEC? There are a lot of things you look at. There are a lot of great coaches who’ve reached out and some people would say, ‘Oh my god, you could go hire that guy. That’s a slam dunk.’ Well, maybe not. maybe it’s not the right fit of what we’re looking for or the right fit for our building and our people. You’re looking for that.”
