South Carolina is struggling with a 3-6 overall record and 1-6 mark in the SEC this season. The Gamecocks have been woeful on offense, ranking 121st in points per game (19.7).
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer recently made the decision to fire offensive coordinator Mike Shula. The interim offensive coordinator is now Mike Furrey, who has been South Carolina’s wide receivers coach since last season.
This means that Beamer is in the market for a fourth offensive coordinator since taking over the program in 2021. However, during his Tuesday press conference, Beamer pushed back on the criticism of his previous offensive coordinators, which also included Marcus Satterfield and Dowell Loggains.
“I push back a little bit on the narrative that we haven’t necessarily gotten these, I haven’t gotten these coordinator hires right,” Beamer said, per The State. “Have we been efficient enough on offense and consistent enough on offense? Absolutely not. But let’s also not act like we brought in three coordinators, and we’ve just fired all of them, and we just threw up our hands.”
All 3 past offensive coordinators had pro backgrounds. Beamer notes that while he’d love to hire a coach with college experience, he isn’t opposed to another NFL candidate.
“If we hire from outside, someone that’s been a college coordinator, I think that would be awesome,” Beamer said. “But if the best person is from the NFL and can fit what we want to do here offensively, then so be it.”
South Carolina will look to get going offensively this Saturday with a tough test at No. 3 Texas A&M (noon ET/ESPN).
