re: Will South Carolina seriously consider Shawn Elliott?

Elliott's biggest negative is that he doesn't have many connections in assembling a staff. Great guy, has a good reputation among SC high school coaches, and the players genuinely play for him.

But being a HC has so much more to do with being able to put together a quality staff.

Champ can realistically assemble a better staff just from a reputation standpoint.



I may be in the minority, but I like Elliott. A lot. He was dealt a shitty hand, and he played it as well as could be played. He loves the university and the state like no one we've ever had in the position. But he comes with some serious question marks, and the big money boosters aren't likely to support him, due to the results of his short tenure.
