Overview
- Shane Beamer made his first coordinator dismissal in five seasons, coming weeks after he let go of offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley.
- The Gamecocks are 3-6 (1-6 SEC) and lead the Power Four in futility by failing to surpass 350 total yards in any game, with 19.7 points per game marking their lowest average since 2002.
- South Carolina’s offense produced just 197 yards in Saturday’s 30-14 loss at Ole Miss, a low point in a season of persistent struggles.
- Quarterback LaNorris Sellers has regressed this year with six touchdown passes, three interceptions and 175 rushing yards, while the offense has allowed 34 sacks.
- Beamer promoted Shula from analyst to a three-year OC deal last December, and the team has not named an interim play-caller as it enters an open date before visiting Texas A&M on Nov. 15.
