How McClendon is handling his new role

Dec. 24, 2019

When the Gamecocks announced the official hiring of Mike Bobo earlier this month, it created what could be an awkward situation at least on paper with his predecessor Bryan McClendon on staff.

But, as Bobo takes over trying to fix an offense that finished near the bottom of the SEC in most statistical categories last year, McClendon is handling his new role as well as he possibly could. (VIEW ARTICLE) FREE GAMECOCKCENTRAL

he had an awful awful year and a change needed to be made, but hes young and he may still end up being a successful coordinator or head coach down the line.   as far as how hes handling the demotion, we obviously need more production from the wide receivers even without edwards and the passing game as a whole.  in 2018 we had 4 rb's average at least 9 yards a catch, in 2019 we had zero.  2018 we had 3 wr's average at least 14 yards a catch, in 2019 zero averaged more than 12. 

i think shi smith has the talent to be a great receiver, but as a unit there are no sure things coming off last year's disaster.  i just hope theres some as of yet unrealized potential among otre, rand, josh, xavier, etc and theyll put in the work and be ready to make a difference next year.

I can't believe there wasn't more fuss over the Kendal Briles hire.  That whole Baylor situation was deserving of the death penalty.

I kinda think B-Mac will shine. He was really good with the WR's before he became OC. I think now that he is back 100% with them, we may see some of them become big targets in Bobo's offensive scheme.
