Overview

• The Oct. 12 dismissal marks Shane Beamer’s first in-season staff firing in five years at South Carolina.
• Run game coordinator and tight ends coach Shawn Elliott was assigned offensive line duties immediately after the move.
• Beamer cited lagging progress and repeated self-inflicted errors by the line as key factors in the decision.
• Against LSU, South Carolina committed six pre-snap penalties with five by the offensive line, and LaNorris Sellers was sacked five times.
• Beamer informed AD Jeremiah Donati at 4:18 a.m. ET, acknowledged injuries and rotating personnel, called recruits and families, and the 3-3 Gamecocks next face No. 13 Oklahoma on Oct. 18.
