National college football expert gives take on Beamer, South Carolina

Chris Low, a national college football reporter for On3, has expressed support for South Carolina's decision to retain head coach Shane Beamer despite a challenging 2025 season. Low, speaking on The Garnet Trust Hour on 107.5 The Game, highlighted Beamer's past success, noting that he is one of only two coaches to achieve nine regular-season wins at South Carolina in the last 40 years, alongside Steve Spurrier. Low emphasized that firing Beamer would be premature and argued for allowing him to address the team's issues in the offseason.

Low also discussed the challenges South Carolina faces in hiring a new offensive coordinator to improve the team’s performance in 2026. He acknowledged that while it is a difficult task, it is not impossible and will be crucial for the program's success. The pressure to win will increase next year, especially with a tough schedule, and Low emphasized the need for the Gamecocks to demonstrate improvement.
