South Carolina Gamecocks Hire Mike Shula as Coordinator

The University of South Carolina has announced the hiring of Mike Shula as the new offensive coordinator, pending approval from the Board of Trustees. Shula, previously an offensive analyst for the Gamecocks, will earn a base salary of $1.1 million over three years, replacing Dowell Loggains who left for the head coaching position at Appalachian State. Meanwhile, Wisconsin's safeties coach Alex Grinch has been appointed as the new defensive coordinator at UCF, following a mixed tenure at USC and Oklahoma. Additionally, South Carolina's wide receiver Jared Brown has signed with Garnet Trust, confirming his return for another season after a promising, albeit injury-affected, year. The transfer portal is active as Florida State has seen 23 players exit, including Destyn Hill, who transferred to LSU, seeking better opportunities. Lastly, former Gamecock Addison Williams is set to join Nebraska as a defensive backs coach after three seasons at UCF.
