South Carolina Gamecocks fire offensive coordinator Mike Shula amid four-game losing streak

South Carolina football has fired offensive coordinator Mike Shula after nine games amid a struggling offense that ranks near the bottom nationally and in the SEC. The Gamecocks have lost four straight games, falling to 3-6 overall and 1-6 in conference play, with an offense averaging just 19.7 points and 294.1 yards per game, their worst since 2002. Shula, who joined the staff last season and was promoted after Dowell Loggains left, has faced criticism as the offense ranked 129th nationally in total offense. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers, once considered a Heisman candidate, has struggled with turnovers and poor offensive protection. Head coach Shane Beamer, now under pressure, has yet to announce Shula's replacement. South Carolina has a bye week before facing No. 3 Texas A&M.
