South Carolina’s new coach Shane Beamer is retaining Mike Bobo as an offensive coordinator and quarterback coach.
Bobo was among seven assistants named Sunday by Beamer for his first team. Hiring has yet to be approved by the school’s board of directors, which will meet on January 4.
Along with Bobo, Beamer retained running back coach Des Kitchings, defensive line coach Tracy Rocker and coach of external linebackers Mike Peterson of Will Muschamp’s team. Muschamp was fired in November.
Beamer appointed former Ball State coach Pete Lembo as an associate coach and special team coordinator, Will Friend of Tennessee as an offensive line coach and former South Carolina defender Erik Kimrey as a tight end coach.
Beamer said another ex-Gamecocks QB, Connor Shaw, who had been director of development for Muschamp players, will return to another off-field role to be determined.
