South Carolina adds Koetter to coaching staff

South Carolina has hired Davis Koetter, the son of former NFL coach Dirk Koetter, to an analyst role on their football coaching staff. Koetter previously worked with the Texas Longhorns, where he contributed to their back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances, and he has expressed a lifelong passion for coaching. While specific titles for Koetter at South Carolina have yet to be confirmed, his experience suggests he will focus on the offensive side of the game. The addition of Koetter follows the departure of two Gamecock assistants, leading to the need for new hires. This move comes as the NCAA has eased restrictions on assistant coaches, allowing South Carolina greater flexibility in staffing and on-field coaching. Overall, Koetter's background positions him as a promising addition to the Gamecocks' offensive strategy.
