Marcus Satterfield faces heat from frustrated South Carolina fans over lackluster offense

Published:
Marcus Satterfield has faced criticism from South Carolina fans for almost his entire two-season tenure as offensive coordinator with the Gamecocks, and the lackluster effort in the first half against Texas A&M was another example.
The Gamecocks had just 115 total yards by halftime, as 4 straight drives ended with either a punt or a fumble. They were 3-for-7 on third down conversions. Spencer Rattler was 6-for-16 for 80 yards.
“We’ve got to sustain drives offensive,” Shane Beamer said. “… Our defense has been on the field way too long. We’re not able to run the ball like we need to, that’s the biggest thing.”
MarShawn Lloyd had 3 carries for 28 yards, as South Carolina saw its 17-point lead whittle down to 17-14 by halftime.
Here’s a sampling of the criticism:

Marcus Satterfield is a prime example of it’s not what you know it’s who you know.

Disagree all you want.
You can directly blame Marcus Satterfield for this 17-14 score.
Yes. You can. Believe me. You can.
If you disagree, I’d say that you need to ask somebody who knows football because apparently you do not.

I’ve watched football all day and literally every single offense I’ve watched all day has had some sort of rhythm and flow except 1.
It’s just disgusting how bad Marcus Satterfield is at his job.

That’s A&M ball. Juju fumbles.
But that was a horrible play call.
Shoot Marcus Satterfield to the moon.

They said that Marcus Satterfield has a complex offensive plays. Maybe he needs to simplify things.
