Jungleboi 2.0!
That’d be sweet if he can live up to that name!!
Beamer is getting it done.
He seems to be a personable coach who motivates his players well.
Beamer is what South Carolina needed after the Will’s reign-of-terror in Columbia. He is building the program in a very positive way. The Cocks future looks bright.
Frank Jr starting to pick off players from Dabo. Good for him.
The feat(s) will be can Beamer elevate the program then keep the program at an elevated level for a sustained period of time.
Hotz and Spurrier got pops out of the program but neither left the program better than what it is was when they arrived.
Fair point, but Holtz and Spurrier were also in the twilight of their careers with us and running out of gas in a fast changing landscape.
Neither ever turned it into the winner they had at ND & UF but both elevated the program and left it better than they found it.
Steve Spurrier’s consecutive years record of 11 wins-2 losses will stand forever in the history of South Carolina football. Go Cocks !
