If Sellers sticks around, this could be a pretty good pick up.

TCU offensive coordinator Kendal Briles has emerged as the focus of Beamer's South Carolina search, multiple sources told FootballScoop.

Additionally, sources tell FootballScoop that TCU running backs coach Jimmy Smith also is a candidate to be added to Beamer's staff after the Gamecocks limped to an 4-8 season and won just a single Southeastern Conference game and Beamer made multiple offensive moves.

i have beggged for Briles to be our OC for about half a decade now.

Of course Kiffin already had him at FAU and learned anlot and incorporated into his own system, so i’m hyped

but this is a good move for SCar.

Beamer has an unhealthy obsession with ex-Arkansas coaches.

I wonder how this will impact TCU's ability to retain Hoover.

He says he's a FW guy and would never leave, but Briles leaving may change that...

Great hire, IMO Kiffin has worked with Briles and Weiss Jr and apparently he prefers Weiss over Briles because he could have had either for the OC position

Hail Mary by Beamer to save his job. South Carolina was 105th in total offense this season.

I wouldn't say I've begged for him, but being a Baylor/LSU guy love what he & his dad did at Baylor and think he (they) would have crushed here.

I despise TCU and love what Briles did at Baylor so getting Kendal to LSU would/could have been huge to me.

That’s why I called it a hail marry. Beamer is on the hot seat and taking a chance at a name that isn’t hot anymore. 50/50 it works but they’ll be better than 105th.
