Report: Gamecocks have their new head coach |
South Carolina is expected to name Oklahoma assistant Shane Beamer as their new football head coach, according to multiple reports including ESPN.
No official announcement from the school will be made tonight as it still needs to be presented to the USC Board of Trustees. The 43-year-old is a former Gamecock assistant (2007-2010) and the son of former legendary Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer. Louisville head coach Scott Satterfield and Louisiana head coach Billy Napier both publicly declared they were staying put at their respective schools after speaking with South Carolina officials recently. Kentucky dismantled South Carolina 41-18 on Saturday night, and the Gamecocks sit at an ugly 2-8 record. The Gamecocks fired their former head coach Will Muschamp on November 15. He had an overall dismal record of 28-30 with a winning percentage of only .483. The Gamecocks couldn't really make any headway in the SEC East, going only 2-7 against Georgia and Florida during Muschamp's tenure.

I’m told the Gamecocks don’t plan to accept a bowl invite if they are invited in order to waste no time on the future. I’ll have more coming up on @wachfox after the Baylor-Oklahoma game pic.twitter.com/P1JWLui6Dn
