Shane Beamer, South Carolina getting crushed on social media after weak showing vs. Old Dominion
Shane Beamer and South Carolina are feeling the heat on social media after getting all they could handle from Old Dominion before coming away with a 23-19 win.
The Gamecocks program hasn’t shown much progress after an 8-5 campaign and a bowl appearance in 2022. After the season, Beamer’s contract was extended 2 years to 2027.
South Carolina followed it up with a 5-7 record in 2023, including a 3-5 SEC mark. And Saturday’s close call against the Monarchs is evidence that there’s still a long way to go despite the arrivals of celebrated quarterback recruit LaNorris Sellers and former Arkansas running back Rocket Sanders.
In his debut, Sellers was 10-of-23 for 114 yards passing but added 68 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Sanders had a decent evening (22 carries, 84 yards, and a touchdown).
The schedule doesn’t get easier: Kentucky is next for Week 2, followed by No. 13 LSU.
As you might expect, social media ripped Beamer and the Gamecocks program after barely beating the Monarchs. Here’s a sampling of the reaction:
Shane Beamer is an awful coach who doesn’t understand fans despite saying he does. You’re not one of us — you established that last year. Don’t attack us. Understand we know this program better than you do. #gamecocks

Shane Beamer. The nepotism of Dooley with the coaching attitude of Butch.

Shane Beamer hiring Dowell Loggains will be what gets Shane Beamer fired from the University of South Carolina.
Not trying to be negative. This is my honest opinion. I hated that hire along with 90% of the fan base. This is why we hated it.

Who gets fired first? Billy Napier or Shane Beamer?

Shane Beamer better start thanking Kyle Kennard, Dylan Stewart, and Jalon Kilgore for giving South Carolina the win. Without them, we lose by double digits.

– Elliott takes over the OL and installs the power zone read.
– Move Loggains to TE coach
– Promote Shula to OC
Loggains is just the latest in a long line of inept offensive coordinators…..no use of the middle of the field, predictable run/pass play-calling, complete disregard for down and distance situational football….these trends have haunted SC since Kurt Roper, and they never seem to get addressed. I was stunned by the “game” Loggains called today…..absolutely zero effort to get his young QB into a rhythm….no short, high percentage completion plays, no combination routes, no rub routes….just a garbage offense. And where was Harbor?? Loggains did even less to to help him get into space and take advantage of his size and speed. Beamer needs to get this clown gone, and quickly, or it will be his undoing.
Beamer is a really good coach.
Nope. He is terrible and last season shows exactly what HD who is over head just like Sunbelt billy @ UF. Both of them suck and should be fired last season. But Coach Beaner aka (Frank Beamer Jr) will come short again this year and they will drive the nails into his coffin and bury in the grave for good
And you are a really poor Troll. Life champion.
I welcome Coach Prime.
That is a definite No. SC does not need a clown show just to sell tickets. What you really need is a HC and staff that can turn things around like a Kirby Smart coaching on SC payroll.
What a joke, this team..
Its going to be a long season…..
Long season that is a yes and very disappointing one as well. SC needs to man up and make the change. It is time to turn in the lemon and get a Toyota.
Beamer is now a much richer man but a HC he is not. SC was duped with this guy. Nice person, good cheerleader on the sideline but this season is doomed. Bring Spurrier out of retirement or hire Dabo
In Beamer’s defense he was handed the keys to the kingdom by in inept and incompetent excuse for an AD. Beamer was not qualified for this nor any other HC position. He was never more than a position coach. Tanner made his worst hire yet. At least Muschamp had prior HC experience and there was a possibility he had learned something when he was fired from Florida. Beamer brought nothing to the table in the way of talent nor experience. He was given his dream job on a silver platter and we hoped for the best. Maybe Tanner could get one right. Nope.
I feel for Beamer and I wish he was smarter and more adaptable but he is not. Look at the hires that he has made since he has been here in multiple pathetic OC’c and a mediocre DC at best.
Beamer has failed miserably. Please let’s move on. There are plenty of “up and coming” coaches who have actually accomplished things on the football field who would love the chance to coach in the SEC.
