South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer made the decision to fire offensive coordinator Mike Shula just nine games into his first season in the role.

The Gamecocks have lost four straight games to fall to 3-6 (1-6 SEC) on the season. Per ESPN:

Shula, who served as Alabama coach from 2003 to 2006, gained most of his coaching experience in the NFL as an offensive assistant. He joined coach Shane Beamer's staff in Columbia as an offensive analyst in March 2024. Shula began this season with the title of offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach, replacing offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains, who left South Carolina to be the head coach at Appalachian State.

Shula inherited a Gamecocks offense that was led by quarterback LaNorris Sellers, who entered the season with some Heisman Trophy buzz. But Sellers has struggled as a sophomore with seven touchdown passes and five interceptions through nine games this season. South Carolina ranks last in the SEC in both points (19.7) and yards per game (294.1).
