How social media is reacting to the Shane Beamer news at South Carolina
As with any reported coaching hire, the social media reaction to the report that Shane Beamer is the next head coach at South Carolina is divided.
Many media members are uncertain about Beamer’s chance of having success as an SEC head coach. Some are pointing to the tall task at hand of rebuilding the Gamecocks program which is trying to get back to the success of the peak of the Steve Spurrier era. From Oklahoma, the Sooners speak well of Beamer and are disappointed to lose him as an assistant. Virginia Tech fans also speak highly of Beamer, as one would expect.
These various takes are sure to be visited down the road by fans of both the Gamecocks and their rivals.
Y'all really freaking out over Shane Beamer, the guy the greatest to ever wear the uniform at USC all want.
I'll ride with one of our own. Roll the dice and take the risk.
Let's get it.

South Carolina looking at a $30M+ investment into the belief Shane Beamer can bring the program back to respectability.
That's a grip.

Not a splash hire but SC is making a wise choice w @CoachSBeamer. Was terrific w #Sooners including quietly recruiting very well. And 10 on 10 scale in everything outside Xs & Os. @news9 https://t.co/OU5R6LcWgM

From an OU fans perspective: you will eventually love this hire. He’s smart, well connected, a great recruiter, LOVED by the players, is schematically awesome, has worked with some of the best (Riley, Lincoln) and will put together a solid staff. He is a LEADER. It’s a good hire.
