The South Carolina Gamecocks parted ways with first-year offensive coordinator Mike Shula this past weekend. The move came in the immediate aftermath of the loss to Ole Miss, a game in which Carolina failed once again to muster any sort of offensive output.
Shula presided over a Gamecocks’ offense that currently ranks dead last in the SEC in points per game at 19.7, and at or near the bottom in every other major offensive category as well. As a result, the Gamecocks have lost 6 of their last 7.
Now with Shula out in Columbia, head coach Shane Beamer appears to have tabbed the man who will take up the play-calling duties for Carolina for the rest of the season as the team looks to salvage what remains of their campaign.
According to On3’s Chris Low, the Gamecocks have reportedly given wide receivers coach Mike Furrey offensive play-calling responsibilities for the rest of the year in place of the now-fired Shula.
A former NFL player and head coach at Limestone College, Furrey is in his second season with the program, serving as the wide receivers coach during his entire time with the program.
He brings over a decade of collegiate and NFL coaching experience to the table, and will now be tasked with getting things back on track for LaNorris Sellers and the rest of the Gamecocks’ offense over the final few games of the season.
