Or that you can't 100% commit to your new team. We're a week away from early signing period. Need 100% attn and all hands on deck.

If he's working on anything else, then that time could be used to do his job here better. That could be done on zoom, but not while working on a different task.
It will be interesting to see how other schools handle this. VT, Tenn, Texas, Michigan - all could open up in the next week or two and wonder if the same scenario holds for whoever they hire.
Although likely not to happen for 4-6 weeks, there will be NFL jobs that open and the same group of college coaches will be mentioned - Riley, Mullen, Campbell, Franklin - and maybe Dabo. I wonder if the Texans job would be interesting with Deshaun there or the Jets who would draft TL is they get the first pick and if Dabo would get personnel.......

Does this mean you think the head coaching job can be completed without giving 100% of his effort?
If I had to guess, I would speculate that most will wait until AFTER the signing period to avoid losing recruits? We'll see.
Devoting full attention to his new job.
Exactly - 100% of attention should be on the Gamecocks. Not 50% or 80% or whatever. You don't take a job at a new company and tell them that you will be splitting time between them and your old company.

honestly, it is not a question of where he lives as much as it is a question of where his heart is. You want your new coach to be fully invested in their job. If he lives in oklahoma and works exclusively for SC, I'm 100. If he lives in Cola and works some for Oklahoma but the rest for SC, then I'm against it.
he took a new job? it is not like he quit a la Spurrier...and if he is doing what he should for USC, how much is he giving to OU and vice versa...seems like someone working under a two week notice to me...is there really any mutual benefit? if they were playing for the national championship maybe I could see it but not for a conference championship

Someone made the point that he is coaching this weekend because it is a nationally televised game on ABC and the announcers will be talking about him and South Carolina to a national audience that could help with exposure and recruiting. Not sure if that is a valid point, but interesting. I would think he should coach this weekend and then move on, not stick it out to the end of the season with them, but I get showing that you honor your commitments and in order to get rid of that stigma on our team maybe he is showing he is not going to ask them to do anything he does not do himself, not sure. Maybe some of these questions will be answered at the press conference.

Good points. I'm not sure if either party benefits from him continuing to work for OU.
First question; Is he on the payroll yet?
Secondly, Kiffin left Alabama 2 weeks before NT game, IIRC, and bolted for Fl. Atl and he was the OC for Bama. What on God's green earth is so important for Beamer to finish out the season with OU?

So you think sc has character flaws? They didn't honor their commitment to cwm after all
I think that some players certainly do.
I find it strange that people (not sts, but in general on social media) will bitch and moan about players opting out and not honoring their commitment to the team, then expect the head coach to just drop everything and break their commitment. Can't have it both ways.
