Shane Beamer pleased with the progress being made in establishing South Carolina's culture
South Carolina is 3-3 overall and winless in 3 SEC games this season, but 1st-year Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer has been pleased with what he has seen.
There is certainly room for improvement when it comes to execution on the field. But as far as building the culture that he wants within the program, Beamer said things are right on track.
“If we were going out there every week not playing with effort, if I was walking into our facility dreading seeing our players, I’d be concerned,” Beamer said Wednesday during the weekly SEC coaches teleconference. “That’s not what’s going on. … Our players are playing with great effort. It hasn’t been a challenge from a culture standpoint. … They know what’s taking place in this building, and it’s pretty special. The results on the field are going to come.”
Beamer and the Gamecocks will be looking to get their first SEC win on Saturday when they play host to Vanderbilt.
Anyone who has followed the Gamecocks over recent years can attest to Beamer’s observation on the culture. It definitely is evident watching the sidelines and attitude of not quitting on the field this year.
I like what I see from this aspect, so I’m willing to be patient, but not too patient…
I feel the same way. Let’s be patient – but not too much…
I’ve been patient more times than I can remember beginning in the late 1960’s. I don’t boo my team. I don’t stand behind the bench with a sign insulting the players or the coaches.. guess I’ll just have to be patient also..again! Just hope I live long enough to see 8 and 4 Not asking to much
Patients?…We’re not a destination program. We don’t have guys lining up for this gig. It’s a tough road here. We don’t have a choice but to give Beamer all the time in the world to get us to being at least competitive.
Just the stupid penalties and such on a level I’ve never seen.
The only area that has been a let down is the offense. All other areas have improved. Patience to see what happens as we have said.
