SNUBBED: National media disrespects USC's Kendal Briles hire

South Carolina OC Kendal Briles SNUBBED?! | 247Sports Leaves Him Off Most Impactful Coordinator Hires

South Carolina football just got one of the most proven offensive minds in the country — and somehow Kendal Briles is already being overlooked.

247Sports recently released their list of the most impactful coordinator hires heading into the 2026 season… and Kendal Briles didn’t make it. That’s not just surprising — it’s flat-out disrespectful.

In this video, we break down why Briles’ hire could be one of the biggest difference-makers in the SEC, how his offensive system fits Shane Beamer’s roster, and why South Carolina’s ceiling just got a lot higher. From tempo to explosive plays to quarterback development, Briles has a track record of transforming offenses — and the Gamecocks may be the next team to benefit.

We’ll also look at:

Why Briles’ résumé stacks up with ANYONE on 247’s list

How South Carolina’s offense could change immediately in 2026

What this means for LaNorris Sellers (and the QB room)

Why the Gamecocks could be a real SEC dark horse

If you’re a South Carolina fan, an SEC fan, or just love college football coaching drama… this one’s for you.
