Shane Beamer and South Carolina are feeling the heat on social media after getting all they could handle from Old Dominion before coming away with a 23-19 win.
The Gamecocks program hasn’t shown much progress after an 8-5 campaign and a bowl appearance in 2022. After the season, Beamer’s contract was extended 2 years to 2027.
South Carolina followed it up with a 5-7 record in 2023, including a 3-5 SEC mark. And Saturday’s close call against the Monarchs is evidence that there’s still a long way to go despite the arrivals of celebrated quarterback recruit LaNorris Sellers and former Arkansas running back Rocket Sanders.
In his debut, Sellers was 10-of-23 for 114 yards passing but added 68 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Sanders had a decent evening (22 carries, 84 yards, and a touchdown).
The schedule doesn’t get easier: Kentucky is next for Week 2, followed by No. 13 LSU.
As you might expect, social media ripped Beamer and the Gamecocks program after barely beating the Monarchs. Here’s a sampling of the reaction:
Shane Beamer is an awful coach who doesn’t understand fans despite saying he does. You’re not one of us — you established that last year. Don’t attack us. Understand we know this program better than you do. #gamecocks

Shane Beamer. The nepotism of Dooley with the coaching attitude of Butch.

Shane Beamer hiring Dowell Loggains will be what gets Shane Beamer fired from the University of South Carolina.
Not trying to be negative. This is my honest opinion. I hated that hire along with 90% of the fan base. This is why we hated it.

Who gets fired first? Billy Napier or Shane Beamer?

Shane Beamer better start thanking Kyle Kennard, Dylan Stewart, and Jalon Kilgore for giving South Carolina the win. Without them, we lose by double digits.
