Short answer: As of now, sources indicate that Mike Shula was relieved of his duties as South Carolina’s offensive coordinator in early November 2025, and the program was in the process of identifying a new OC to replace him for the remainder of the season. The exact successor had not been officially announced at the time of those reports.
Context and likely timeline
- Mike Shula was named offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach for South Carolina prior to the 2025 season, replacing Dowell Loggains. By early November, after a difficult stretch, the school announced he would no longer be in that role. This marked Beamer’s fourth OC in his tenure at South Carolina.
- Reporting indicated Beamer was actively seeking a new offensive coordinator, aiming to elevate the offense and quarterback development, with the hire expected to be attractive given the program’s profile and portal/recruiting considerations.
What happens next (common next steps in such scenarios)
- The head coach typically assigns interim play-calling duties or designates an in-house or external candidate to oversee the offense for the remaining games, while continuing a formal search for a permanent OC.
- The successor is often a coach with a proven track record of improving offensive production, play-calling, and quarterback development, and may come from within the current staff or from another program.
Notes on uncertainty
- At the time of the latest reports, a named replacement had not been publicly confirmed, so the exact identity of the next offensive coordinator remained uncertain. Please let me know if you’d like me to pull the latest updates to confirm the current status and the official hire.
