Key off-field staff member leaving USC football program, report says

Story by Jordan Kaye

Perhaps the most important figure of South Carolina football’s recruiting operation is no longer with the program.

Taylor Edwards, the Gamecocks’ director of player personnel, is leaving coach Shane Beamer’s program, according to a report from The Big Spur on Tuesday afternoon.He’d been with the team for three seasons.

Beamer hired Edwards less than three months after he took the job in Columbia and, since then, he has not only been instrumental in helping South Carolina to Top-25 recruiting classes in each of the past three seasons but acting as the liaison between the football program and South Carolina’s NIL collectives.

Before arriving in Columbia, Edwards was Maryland’s Director of Recruiting Operations for two years under coach Mike Locksley. Before that, he had spent time at Arkansas (dir. of recruiting), Alabama (player personnel assistant) and a few smaller programs in Alabama.

 

This is a developing story and will be updated

Evidence popping up that we may be headed towards a 9 game season in 2026. Vandy cancelled their series with Colorado State. Other series have been cancelled for the future, most seem like ones that had home and home portions.

 

That could easily be SEC saying we have Texas and Oklahoma now too so cancel any challenging out of conference game you have scheduled….  Been a few this year and last also.

In time, they will. Starting this year after UGA visits DKR.

Yeah there was an LSU scrub trying to talk all this shit about the DKR game day experience in 2019.

Uhh bro we came close to beating your BEST.TEAM.EVAR with a team that went 8-4 the rest of the way.

No doubt we are apathetic from years of playing crap teams but we can still get plenty of hype.

The 'torture your opponent by climate control game," right?  Poor honorable LSU lads littered the field that game with insufferable cramps.

The correct response to that behavior is to wait until the stoppage is over, line up, pull a man in motion and have him grab his hamstring and fall down, waving to the ref. Now, have another full five-minute stoppage. Line up exactly as before, same motion and all, if they show the same D... gotcha.

Do this every single time they pull their fake injury.

Suggested Rule change: For safety of participants, a player leaving the game due to injury may not re-enter the game until (a) a change of possession has occurred AND (b) player is cleared by NCAA Official Physician. In the event said player is re-injured identically (e.g. leg cramps, turned ankle) he may not re-enter the game under any circumstance.

SEC loves soft schedules get use to it...  We will never see Ohio State, USC or Michigan out of conference again ….  Get use to Sam Houston, Texas State, UTEP, ect.   Hopefully we don’t go to lower level as much as they do is all we can hope for at this point.  Just look at the games they canceled already the last two years.  Yes it’s the best conference in football on the top level of its teams, (Bama, LSU, Georgia, hell atm played Georgia once somehow in 12 years?!). but it’s soft as Charmaine when it comes to protecting that legend.  Theirs selective scheduling is ridiculous.

It’s true that most of the SEC loves soft schedules, but the top/elite of the SEC does not.

Here are the big dogs and who they’ve played over the last 10 years…

Alabama: Texas, Wisconsin, Miami, Florida St, USC, Louisville

Georgia: Oregon, Clemson, Notre Dame, North Carolina, plus Georgia Tech each year

Florida: Miami, Utah, Michigan, UCF, USF, and (not as impressive until you remember) they play Florida State each year

LSU: Wisconsin, Miami, Texas, UCLA, Florida Stare, USC

and even aggy (credit where credit is due): Oregon, Miami, UCLA, Clemson, Notre Dame

I do think the recent realignment will slow down this type of scheduling some but I doubt it goes away completely. Bluebloods will still want to play other bluebloods and near blueblood type teams, plus opening up a CFP to 12 give these teams a mulligan especially it it’s a high caliber matchup like Alabama/Texas last year.

So Georgia didn’t cancel Oklahoma last year at the behest of the conference or our return LSU game the yea before?  I mean there’s more examples someone canceled a OK State series for a D2 game, I think someone canceled T Tech for the same….   When you have to list Louisville and Georgia Tech as strong opponents, something’s wrong…..   let’s not forget atm played Georgia once in twelve years…
