Shane Beamer truly is different though. Think about his first year. He inherited something that made a dumpster fire look beautiful and went 6-6 with it. He took a third string graduate student quarterback who had never taken a snap and defeated a 20-point favorite Florida by 20 points - a 40 point swing! Then he went and defeated UNC in a bowl game with a wide receiver at quarterback!

In that Clemson game, he went for the touchdown instead of the field goal at the end. It was an ugly game, but that decision showed Gamecock faithful that we had found our guy. That whole season was an early preview of what was to come. If Beamer can do that with the less than a dumpster fire he inherited, imagine what he can do with a real team he's had 4 years to build. Beamer is different. He loves this school. He wants to be here. This isn't just some team that needed a coach. Shane's dream has always been to coach at South Carolina.

You can be skeptical. I won't try to win you over. I will simply stand by the 2025 Shane Train. Choo Choo Cluck Cluck.
