Beamer Makes Bold Midseason Move: South Carolina Fires OL Coach Lonnie Teasley, Appoints Shawn Elliott as Interim…
In a significant midseason shake-up, South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer has relieved offensive line coach Lonnie Teasley of his duties, according to reports from GamecockCentral. The decision comes amid ongoing struggles with offensive consistency and protection issues that have plagued the Gamecocks this season.
As first reported by Wes Mitchell and Chris Clark, run game coordinator and tight ends coach Shawn Elliott will step in as the interim offensive line coach for the remainder of the season. Elliott, who brings a wealth of experience and familiarity with the program, is expected to take charge immediately as South Carolina looks to stabilize its offensive front.
An official announcement from the university is expected later today. This move underscores Beamer’s urgency to spark improvement and regain momentum as the Gamecocks push through the heart of their SEC schedule.
