Fans being fans at SC.

In other words, delusional.
A guy started a thread and said SC should follow the "Clemson model" and hire Shane Beamer. "Shane Beamer = Dabo Swinney."
Here is the full text of his post. Thought y'all would love the last line. ?????
***********
I'm actually saying that as a good thing. It's working out pretty well for them this year. Save on HC salary, hire elite assistants and allow them to do their thing. Spend your time on recruiting/building the brand and on cheerleading on the players.
Why not? Also, Beamer is like 1000X more intelligent than Dabo. I could buy into that model.

They never fail to amuse. That clown show of a program and fan base is a joke for the ages.

The only Clemson model they should follow is to follow our approach towards Track and Field and Cross Country with their Football "program."

I recall all the great things they said when Muschamp was hired ie: got to be champs when coach has champ in his name. Remember that? If only they would look at their overall record, it is pathetic and they have only gone to a few bowl games in their history. And the AD gives the champ a contract extension and buy out package that’s off the charts. Wow

I love the line about that model. Reminds of my days as a kid when we built model cars, and planes. Need glue. Lots of it. You know like that bag full of glue those delusional fans sniff before ,during ,and after each game.

It appears they still do. In the coots reply he said "spend your time recruiting and cheerleading the players on". Thats their problem, they think Dabo is still just a cheerleader. They wouldn't know what success looks like if it slapped them in the face.

One thing they constantly miss with their idea of Dabo being a cheerleader, and winning due to high paid assistants is, who do they think choose the assistants? If Dabo doesn't know anything about football and is just a cheerleader, then how was he smart enough to choose these great assistants?
It's not like all of his hires were obvious at the time they were made. Starting with Chad Morris, that hire got a lot of heat even by many Clemson fans as hiring a high school coach. Then he replaced Morris with two assistants who had never been coordinators at the college level. It's not like he went out and paid the most money for the most well thought of OC in all of college football that everyone else was after.
Even with Venables, he was basically demoted at Oklahoma when he was made to share the DC duties with brother Stoops, and that was pointed out to me by several South Carolina fans at the time. The big money we've spent on assistants has really been after they were already hired here and proved themselves.

So very true. It has slapped them in the face for over a century, and they still don't get it. Highly delusional fan base.

They are the quickest fan base to jump on a bandwagon. After having a year with 2 wins and people leaving their team, they are already proclaiming someone they haven't even hired to be better than Dabo. They are the best rival because the jokes never end.

Great catch. I missed that. Somebody went back and resurrected a 5 year old thread. I just assumed it was started a day or so ago.
My question would be this: What has Shane Beamer done in the past five years? If he was ready to be a HC in 2015, then why has nobody recognized that for five years?

On paper, Beamer's the least impressive candidate on their list, hands down. And who else has done it like Dabo? He's an anomaly. The man took the reins midseason on an interim basis and stabilized the program, snapping our 6-game losing streak to BC and beating SCar by 3 scores, and only then was considered a viable candidate for the position.
They have no way to give Beamer a trial run, to get a firsthand look at his HC chops. They're taking a shot in the dark. Freeze has won everywhere with electric offenses, Chadwell is winning down the road with an electric offense, and Napier's a proven program builder with a lot of connections in the region... and they want Beamer? Because he was on Spurrier's staff for a handful of years and a bunch of former players like him? This is why they are who they are.

The funny thing is they hated Beamer when he was there. Much of the fanbase blamed him for the fall of the program

Most of them hated the idea of Beamer not even a month ago, but as soon as his name was floated as the frontrunner, they all piled on the bandwagon, just as they did with Muschamp.

If Beamer is all that why didn't Virginia Tech hire him instead of Justin Fuente?

coaching at that upholstered outhouse proves beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt that he isn't very intelligent.

On the smarter than Dabo, I sure hope that you said in response, he should do a search on the education and accomplishments with Both Dabo and young Beamer!!!! Then tell how much smarter Beamer is than Dabo bc, Dabo is a highly educated man that has gotten his Clemson team to be one of the top two FB teams in the country. What has young Mr Beamer done as a head coach anywhere???
