Breaking news: Hunt fired, Reaves leaving for UT
Hunt deserves the pink slip after a crappy year coaching the O Line.
I can not blame Reaves for leaving to join his brother-in-law, Lane Kiffin, at Tennessee. Their he will be the Volunteers’ quarterbacks coach and probably help with recruiting. Reaves interviewed with Kiffin two years ago with the Oakland Raiders, but decided to stay at USC.
Cornerbacks coach Shane Beamer will succeed Reaves as the Gamecocks’ recruiting coordinator, a position Beamer held at Mississippi State.
Graduate assistant coach Cedric Williams will take over the line for the Gamecocks' bowl preparations.
Two Questions---
1. How will this affect recruiting with the Clemson loss / Hunt fired / Reaves going to UT?
2. Will USC defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson leave for the head-coaching vacancy at Mississippi State. Johnson, who recently received a contract extension at USC, was the Bulldogs’ defensive coordinator for Croom’s first four seasons.

the Gamecocks recruiting efforts could take a hit with the shake up of the coaching staff, in particular, the departure of recruiting coordinator David Reaves for Tennessee. Reaves was USC’s lead recruiter on some of its top remaining targets like running back Jarvis Giles, athlete Lindsay Lamar and running back Dontae Aycock.
Hunt had to go as da Gamecocks have the SEC’s worst rushing offense for the second year in a row, and are next to last in the conference in sacks allowed for the second consecutive season.
hope that with Dabbo being retained we dont lose any other commitments.
