First year with current program, doesn’t have to be first year ever as a HC

Shane Beamer- B+. South Carolina had no business winning more than 4 games. They won 7. Hasn’t been this much optimism around SCar since Spurrier was hired

Josh Huepel- C. Better than I expected, but they left a lot on the table.

Brian Harsin- F. Team regressed from Malzahn and they ended the season on what, a 5 game losing streak?

Bret Bielema- C-. Did pretty well what I was expecting him to do.

Steve Sarkisian- F. Didn’t make a bowl. Lost to Kansas. Nuff said.

I think that’s all of em. Will be a much bigger list next season
 
Shane surprised me the most..if you ever heard this guy talk like I did when he first got the job on the radio.. he sounded way over his head.

I agree with the Sark grade.. should have done much better. His offenses were for the most part good, but that defense.. And with the hires he's made so far.. while they look great on paper..they are on the offensive side of the ball. That ugly defense has still not been touched up as of yet

There is an award for this now, but I don’t think the winner has been announced yet. And it’s named after a Gator GOAT

Huepel I’d give a B+ as he had a lot of shot to deal with and played quality football throughout.

Bielema I’d give a B- as they pulled out 4 good wins.

Can’t disagree much with any of those but MIGHT go C+ or B- with Huepel because of the players that left then injuries.DID lose a couple games that should have won.
 
Beamer: A. Hard program to win at, let alone make that quick a turnaround with which bumps him up for me.

Heupel: B+. Hate saying this about the human chode but Tennessee showed some life and looked better than I expected.

Harsin: D+. Was trending upward for a minute before completely crashing. He just still feels so out of place there. I'll give him at least some credit for nearly beating Bama but that toss call was also the reason they lost so not too much.

Bielema: B. Outperformed considering the state of that program and had some quality wins but not getting to a bowl keeps this from being higher. I think this will ultimately work out though.

Sark: F. Already heard some talk of stop delaying the inevitable and cut bait. No further explanation needed
 
Agree. Sark should be a fucking F-. Yes, F minus. Lose to Kansas, can't hold your wad on the way to beating Oklahoma with a lead, and not even making a damn bowl.
 
Heupel should get an A+ just for being the 1st AAC HC to not crash and burn as a P5 HC.
