Coach Beamer talks wins, OC search recruiting, and more



South Carolina’s hunt for a new offensive coordinator is off and running. Head coach Shane Beamer shared his first thoughts on Marcus Satterfield’s departure for a job at Nebraska and what he’s looking for in his next play-caller during a radio interview with 107.5 The Game on Tuesday afternoon. “First of all, we want to wish Marcus well getting reconnected with Coach (Matt) Rhule out at Nebraska,” Beamer said. “That’s somebody that (he’s) worked with in multiple places and not just Matt, but other coaches on that staff that Coach Rhule is going to hire that Marcus and his family have grown up around. It’s a cool opportunity for him and appreciate his work here in our program in the last couple of years.”

While Satterfield’s hiring hasn’t been officially announced by Nebraska, word trickled out on Monday that Beamer was in the market for a new offensive coordinator. South Carolina's second-year head coach joked on Tuesday that as soon as he’d filtered through congratulatory texts following the win over Clemson, those messages were replaced by coaches inquiring about the position.

What South Carolina will look for in its next offensive coordinator, though, remains to be seen. Beamer noted that he’s open to any kind of offensive system. However, his hope is to hire someone who has been a coordinator and has called plays previously whether that be at the Power Five or Group of Five level.

The prevailing thought in college football circles is that Beamer is in a better position to land a bigger-name offensive coordinator than he was two years ago upon his hiring at South Carolina.

“You can find examples in College Football of Power Five coordinators that are crushing it now as a coordinator that started out at the Group of Five level or FCS level,” Beamer said. “They’re proven coaches. They’ve shown it. I’m not going to back myself into a corner and say, ‘It’s got to come from this level.’ “Obviously this league that we coach in is a bear and that’s a challenge.

The more experience you have with that, familiarity with that, certainly that’s a bonus. But I’m not going to limit the pool by eliminating people because they haven’t coached in the SEC or at the Power Five level.” The prevailing thought in college football circles is that Beamer is in a better position to land a bigger-name offensive coordinator than he was two years ago upon his hiring at South Carolina.

South Carolina (8-4) will learn its bowl game on Sunday following the College Football Playoff selection show. There’s no great rush to make the new hire, Beamer indicated, particularly with bowl practice coming up and with coaches putting the finishing touches on the 2023 recruiting class. “We’ll get to this coordinator search in time,” Beamer said.
