New coach coaching staff

Interesting - former Gamecocks safety Chris Hampton just took the DC job at Tulane. Maybe somebody to keep on the radar down the road? Hampton's senior year was Beams' first on staff with SOS, IIRC.

 
After that speech he gave I could see him excelling at recruiting.  Has a passion for Gamecock football that is contagious

Imagine the pitch when a recruit says that no one can win at USC. Shaw could literally look them in the eyes and say "I did."

Very true. He's also never *been* a QB coach before - this may be the chance for him to learn the ropes a bit?

His dad is a HC.  His brother is a HC.  I can't see Shaw not wanting to be on the field in some capacity.

Connor Shaw could tell the recruit that quite the opposite was true for him.  17-0 as the starting QB in Williams-Brice.

 
Hearing from some places that Bobo will be the run game OC and Riley will be passing game OC.

First thing I thought of when I read that was ... "OK, so who calls the plays?"

Yeah...I'm really hoping this is not the case...I see a potential recipe for disaster here. 

And yet, I still want SC to retain Bobo...Oh well, someone is getting paid $2.75 million to figure this out, so I guess I don't need to worry about it.

 
Having 2 OCs makes it difficult to point the finger when things go wrong.  Spurrier did that when he was here.

When I heard Connor was going to be retained in and off-the-field job, probably the same one he had before (Marcus' old gig), I thought that might open the door for Bobo to be QB Coach ... maybe that is what will happen, with Riley as OC but a wealth of knowledge to rely on in that office?

 
If I'm not mistaken...at Oklahoma...Lincoln Riley is the Head Coach/QB coach and calls the plays...Beamer was the Assist HC for Offense/TE and H-back coach...Bill Bendenbaugh is the Co-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line coach...Cale Gundy is the Co-Offensive Coordinator/Inside receivers coach...Dennis Simmons is the Associate Head Coach/Outside receivers coach...and Demarco Murray is JUST the running backs coach.

No one is confused on what their role/job is...there are not three people running the show or four people calling the plays...this is how you get good coaches good contracts and build great programs.

That being said...I would be surprised if we keep Bobo
