Shane Beamer fires back at reporter after South Carolina's loss to Georgia: 'Get out of here, man'
Shane Beamer’s South Carolina Gamecocks took one on the chin against Georgia. The Bulldogs hammered the Gamecocks 48-7. USC’s only touchdown came with under a minute left in the fourth quarter.
Beamer’s team managed just 306 total yards, including just 92 rushing yards. Spencer Rattler threw 2 INTs against the Bulldogs top defense.
After receiving some preseason buzz, South Carolina sits 1-2 overall and 0-2 in SEC play after the Arkansas loss in Week 2.
Following the game, reporter Phil Kornblut asked Beamer if there’s any players giving up in the locker room. Beamer wasn’t happy.
“Hell no,” Beamer said emphatically. “What kind of question is that, Phil? We’re 1-2 and we have a bunch of fighters in that room and give up — that’s not a part of this football program.”

Stetson told DJ Shockley on the sideline that he thought the Chickens defenders had given up.
The correct question should be: “why aren’t JUJU and Doty your starters”?
That JuJu kid has some dawg in him, for real.
Crickets crickets
That team quit after the 1st quarter.
They lost to two of the top teams in the nation, the schedule is easier going forward, the season is young.
Easier? They still have to play Kentucky, A&M, Tennessee, and Clemson. That’s at least four more likely losses.
I’d say they will go 2-2 at least on that run if not 3-2
*3-1
Well they’re not beating Kentucky or Clemson and A&M and UT are about as unlikely. Which three are you beating?
I will take that bet all day that USCe doesn’t go 3-1 on that run.
Cat fan, we know UGA and Kentucky isn’t UGA. It does get easier.
You smoking the good stuff!! There no way that they they win 2 or more of them games. Especially with spencer at QB or way they played last two games. I think if they take another lopsided loss next week it will seal the deal and they lose all 4.
@TN, I think we could put up TN numbers next week as we start a TN schedule… cupcakes
UGA is a better team than any of those 4. Arky is a bit more of an argument maybe but they’d at least go 2-2 playing those 4 teams. Still a rough schedule going forward but they have their toughest game behind them.
I’d say right now without significant improvement 1-3, but BLPB may have a point with aTm and I think they may get Clemson , so 2-2 ain’t outta the question.
Plus TN looks good on paper for now, but what have they played, an overrated Pitt team, and FL don’t even look good on paper, they struggled w/South FL. KY is the toughest of that schedule maybe Clemson
Anyone with eyes could see that defense didn’t care after a certain point.
It sure looked like their intensity was gone, especially in the second half. They gave up.
The D was defeated and they absolutely slacked off in the 3rd
Defense was being manned by alot of true freshmen up against the #1 team in the nation. Looked hesitant and could tell the past 2 weeks have taken a toll. We all knew it would take a bit. Had hopes for this season but Injuries on defense and What is clearly a problem with the offensive scheme (Fire Satt now please) will make us lucky to get to 7-5 again.
Its only the 2nd year and we had a bare cupboard. Also gonna have to replace the OC. As long as recruiting stays as good as it has been, I feel fine about things. Gonna be another rough season though.
We had lost many starters on defense. Non-starters had to step up. I agree the offense needs to do some type of a job because the Defense has no rest. If Satt can’t then someone can.
Satterfield’s play calling was suspect last year but with 4 QB’s used it was a tough gig being the OC. He does seem to be the weak link in the team’s offense, along with that O-line. He did not call many dink-n-dunk passes to help his QB & those passes would have moved the ball down the field.
I hate sounding like a fair weather fan but the game today was a mix of the Woods, Scott and Muschamp era rolled into one.. Not pretty..
Very disappointed in Phil Kornblut. He is an excellent College football reporter that specializes in South Carolina and Clemson news. He is not a rookie trying to make a name for himself.
Fair question… Defensive response shows clear insecurities.
Knowing we were playing the #1 team with defensive backups and Kornblut asked a stupid question. It deserved a stupid response. Good for Beamer.
All I gotta say is where are BlackandGarnet, Famously, and a few other wannabes talking smack since April?
If the team didn’t, the fans sure did. Never seen a stadium empty so fast. Especially that cockpit…
Glad I only didn’t have to hear sandstorm much. No offense, but I hate that dang song
And the stupid rooster! No offense! :)
No more irritating than hearing drunk UGA fans bark.
I’ll eat sloppy joes, so everything is good.
I think Beamer is a good coach, SC fans need to be patient, if SC roster was full 4 and 5 stars when Beamer took over, it would be a different scenario. Georgia is a Beast, Hogs got blown out last year by UGA, did not kill the Hogs year. If Beamer is worth his salt this team will keep getting better, team captains is important, looks like there is some team leadership as well. SC was down 5-6 defense starters,Never give up!
Reporters just get worse at interviewing and writing every year. Next year they will want a story template where they can just fill names in blanks.
Still, it certainly feels like Beamer might be in his over his head at South Carolina.
We’ll see how the season plays out, but it’s not trending well so far for the Gamecocks.
I’m going with this. Beamer doesn’t have the bona fides to call out even a stupid reporter’s question, unlike Nick Saban (like him or not).
Fact is, if Shane doesn’t turn USCs season, the questions will get harder, not easier.
It’s looking like Beamer likes the media when it swallows his shallow hype but wants to rebuke them when they hold him to accounts. There were signs that some SC players quit on the field – he has to live with that. I’m not sure he can.
What a dumb thing to say.
Beamer is not the answer. A legit proven head coach is the answer. Stupid Ray Tanner. Holtz and Spurrier showed with a legit master coach you get results.
After this game, he will forever be known as “Spencer Rattled” in my mind
Rattler should have transferred to a school with an offensive line. Gonna be a long year for the Cocks.
Rattler had never seen a defense like Georgia’s. Welcome to the SEC.
But hey, the sunglasses are cool and Beamer sure can dance!
Wow! Big talk from someone whose coach was 5-7 in his second year…but okay.
Phil Kornblut Is an infamous Clemson homer. He just wanted to twist the knife.
I can’t recall a QB who was the pre-season Heisman odds favorite falling so far in a 12 month period. At least not without injury. His QBR is 108th in the country as of this morning – worse even than AR.
I wish coaches would take more of this approach with the pinhead media.
