Friday, December 1,1995 Coaching res signal end oi OVERTIME I ! Robbie Meek The Gamecocks definitely needed 1 to do some work on the defensive ( coaching staff after a terrible season. It now looks as though Head Coach Brad Scott will have no choice but to rework his staff after the resignation of assistant coaches Bob Stinchcomb and Bobby Johns. Stinchcomb has spent the last two seasons as the Outside Linebackers and Special Teams Coach (With the exception of the kickoff return team the special teams were also terrible this season). Johns spent the same time period as the Defensive Secandaiy Coach. Both were highly regarded coaches when they came to Carolina. I don't blame the defensive Mures this season on the players. I believe the defensive struggle was the coaches' fault. It's the coaches'job to get the team ready to play (As fer as the game plan and motivation go) and they weren't ready for the big games. If s no secret the Gamecocks didn't have the depth needed to have a top was one of the best defensive tackles in the conference going into the season, and there were a lot of young lineman who saw time on the 1994 Carquest Bowl Championship squad. The linebacking corps was loaded with talent until Hank Campbell got hurt late in the season. The defense however didn't play well even when Hank was healthy. I think the whole defensive staff is just lucky they aren't coaching at a university with a rich football tradition because they wouldn't be resigning; they would be getting booted out. If the Gamecocks defense has another sub-par season next year I inmK mere win oe some major uiaugea.
