Two names I'm hearing for SC.

1. Tom Herman. I can't find the logic behind that. Even ifg he gets fired at Texas, I can't see him heading to Columbia. And, I sure can't see him voluntarily steepoing down at Texas to take the Gamecock job.
2. Todd Monken. The only reason this is even being brought up is that the president of SC was recently the Commandant of the US Military Academy. Even if Monken promises not to run the triple option but go to a wide open offense, I can't imagine SC choosing him.
I'm sticking with Freeze or Napier or Beamer.

I think you mean Jeff Monken, head coach at Army. Todd Monken is OC at UGA

I don't think it will be Beamer...

Looking more and more like the VA Tech job will be open - if not this year, then next. There is no more logical choice there than Beamer and Beamer has to know that is a better job than USCar

Cannot believe how badly Justin Fuente has done with VT. He was one of the Truly Hot Names in coaching after leaving Memphis but he's just been awful with the Hokies and some of the stories I hear about his recruiting and personnel decisions are awe-inspiringly bad.
Like, he had Malik Willis committed but wouldn't commit to playing him at QB, so Willis wound up at Auburn. That didn't work out so Willis transferred to Liberty...who then beat Fuente and VT a couple weeks ago, throwing for 217 yards and rushing for 108 more (and throwing for 3 TD's and rushing for another) en route to Liberty beating VT with one second remaining on the clock. Oops. Actually Liberty finally lost their first game this past week 15-14 at NC State...as NC State blocked a field goal late in the fourth.
Willis, by the way, does a really good Deshaun Watson impersonation.

Proof that coaches in non power 5 schools don’t always translate over. Same with successful coordinators, just like Pruitt for example at Tennessee. I’m getting offtopic here this is why I don’t get all the talk about Venables and Elliott leaving for HC positions. I don’t think Jeff Scott is going to make it, and we already saw Chad Morris flub. So many things have to fall into place, it’s just not that simple.

I have heard from well placed sources within South Carolina that it's down to Tweddledum and Tweddledee.

Beamer was a good recruiter. No head coaching experience though.. risky hire. Chadwell is dirty. He got fired from CSU for playing ineligible players among other issues. Will get in trouble unless he has a short leash. Too big of a stage for him to jump too. Freeze is well, just call the escort service and ask. But heck of coach if your not worried about ethical issues. I’m going with Napier as best candidate.
