Shane Beamer was out of answers. There was no way he could continue the season with Mike Shula running the offense. So on Sunday, after the Gamecocks had averaged fewer points and yards than every SEC team though nine games, Beamer fired a coordinator for the first time in his head coaching career.

Mike Shula has been fired from his position as South Carolina's offensive coordinator after 9 games, according to reports.

Going into the season, the Gamecocks were ranked No. 13 on the AP Top 25 poll. However, after a Week 10 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels, South Carolina is 3-6 and unranked. To make matters worse, they’re now on a four-game losing streak.

For the second time in his career, former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Mike Shula has been fired by an SEC football program.
