South Carolina Students Stage Brief ‘Fire Mike Shula’ Protest Over Offensive Woes

The small turnout on Greene Street reflects mounting frustration with an underperforming offense alongside ongoing staff evaluations.

Overview

  • Roughly 20 students gathered on Oct. 21 for a short march on Greene Street calling for offensive coordinator Mike Shula to be fired, local TV reporter Noah Chast reported.
  • A flyer promoting the rally cited predictable play-calling and the handling of quarterback LaNorris Sellers as chief complaints.
  • South Carolina is 3-4 after a 26-7 loss to Oklahoma, averaging 20.1 points and 297.7 yards per game in a season marked by offensive struggles.
  • Head coach Shane Beamer said he is continuing to evaluate his staff after recently dismissing offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley.
  • The unrest comes days before a home game against No. 6 Alabama, raising near-term pressure on a team fighting to stay on track for bowl eligibility.
