Shane's staff: Let's fill in the blanks as we go

I really did not care for Bobo's choice as far as starting QB, but even with Hill in there, he did have some creative plays. With the right HC, we may see the Bobo that won so much at UGA.

I really don't think we will know our complete staff until all the games are completed. I just feel Beamer is after some coaches that are busy with bowl games.

I also wasn't thrilled with hill, but our run game improved instantly with bobo.

Given his first 2 hires, it seems Shane is making som. Strong decisions. If the first 2 are indicators, I’d expect we will all be pleased with how he finishes it out. Kimrey and Lembo both have strong ties to the area for recruiting. Both have head coaching experience and succeeded as very young head coaches.

The most impressive thing to me: especially once Shi was hurt, opposing defenses knew all we could do was run. And Bobo's playcalling still got us the SEC rushing champ. I mean, there was NEVER a need to not put 8 in the box against us, even when Shi was healthy ... and he still got 1000 yards. 

 
Zoom  with Beamer and new ass. Monday.

University of South Carolina Football will introduce its three new assistant coaches via a Zoom press conference on Monday, December 28, beginning at 10 am.

Seems to be more than just idle speculation at this point.

He interviewed.  Sounds like the ball is in his court.  Seems as though he values stability at the top, so you have to think the pending drama at LSU is impacting his decision.

 
There are fewer opportunities for a guaranteed few years than to be plank holders on a new staff. 

 
Not expecting the DC to be named today; introductions and questions to Lembo, Friend and Kimrey.

Well we will find out shortly, but that is a little disappointing.  I was hoping to finally lock that down.

I get the sense that we are close and that bowls are an issue with announcing at least some of these last three spots. 

 
I think our DC hire is dependent on who Coach O hires for that DC slot.

I would wait on LSU first before I committed to us if I were a good DC.

It looks like Mason or Kevin Steele for the DC - I am fine with either.

Torrian Gray is still being talked about for DB coach. Gray is from Florida, but played with Beamer at VA Tech where he (Gray) was 3 time All-Conference (Big East). Gray's coaching experience has been primarily at VA Tech, Florida, and the pros.

Pretty successful everywhere he has been and he would help with recruiting in both Virginia and Florida,

Yes, I think Gray would be a bit of a coup.

Agree, but make sure he's clean as far as the NCAA goes.

"Part of having integrity is accepting responsibility and consequences when we make mistakes,'' Stricklin said. "For over a year we have been cooperating with the NCAA regarding two situations where we needed to be better related to rules compliance in the sport of football.

"The first situation involved a group of high school students who stopped by campus on unofficial visits while en route to a 7-on-7 tournament. While today this is allowed under NCAA rules, at the time this occurred it was not permitted. The second involved an interaction between two of our coaches, including our head coach, and a prospective student-athlete at his high school that lasted 15 minutes, which is beyond what is allowed under NCAA rules. Neither of these violations involved impermissible benefits or offers of impermissible benefits, and UF ceased recruiting these athletes once made aware of the circumstances."

On March 28 and March 29, 2019, Florida had impermissible contact with about 127 recruits from 7-on-7 teams who visited and toured campus on their way to a tournament in Tampa. The assistant coach had impermissible contacts with several prospects, a Level III violation. Florida self-reported the Level III violations.

Now would be a good time to raid the coaching staffs of Auburn and Florida for different reasons.

Looking forward to the DC hire no matter who it ends up being.

 
The Mason talk has picked up some serious steam. We should know for certain in the coming days.
