Overview
- Shula was dismissed nine games into his first season as OC/QB coach, with the move announced Nov. 2 following a 30-14 loss at Ole Miss.
- South Carolina is 3-6 (1-6 SEC) and is the only Power Four team yet to surpass 350 total yards in a game this season.
- The Gamecocks rank last in the SEC in scoring at 19.7 points per game and total offense at 294.1 yards, with poor third-down rates and a high sack total.
- This marks Shane Beamer’s first coordinator firing at South Carolina, coming weeks after he let go offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley.
- Promoted from analyst on a three-year deal last December, Shula oversaw a unit in which QB LaNorris Sellers regressed from his 2024 form, and no interim play-caller has been announced before the Nov. 15 trip to Texas A&M.
