Shane Beamer, South Carolina can & needs to hit a home run with new OC hire
Nov. 29, 2022
South Carolina will have a new play-caller in 2023. Coach Beamer will now have a major opening on his staff to fill. As of Monday morning, that offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield is on his way to Nebraska
I’m all for fits, systems, etc. After all, winning is what keeps coaches employed. That said, Beamer needs a press conference-winning hire. “South Carolina made a strong push to keep Satterfield,” Thamel wrote in his initial report. “But his ties to Rhule and the opportunity to go to Nebraska won out.”
The Gamecocks ranked ninth and 13th in total offense in the Southeastern Conference in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Satterfield is leaving, though, opens the door for Beamer and South Carolina to make a splash.
Now it's time to capitalize. The money will be there to try and sway a big name. Gamecocks defensive coordinator Clayton White is already making over $1 million annually after receiving a pay bump over the summer. Satterfield was also making a hefty $900,000 salary under the terms of his last deal. Arkansas’ Kendal Briles and TCU’s Garrett Riley will be the sexiest names thrown around for an opening that should get plenty of attention. Proven offensive minds like Duke offensive coordinator Kevin Johns and Wake Forest assistant Warren Ruggiero should get consideration. Beamer isn’t one to shy from the spotlight. Given the immense outside concern regarding his former offensive coordinator, he’d do well to hire one that could extinguish some flames and win football games, to boot.
