College football coaches around the country can finally breathe at least a little bit easier after the spring transfer window closed when the calendar flipped to May.<\/p>\n
But the last two weeks have been hectic for many, to say the least.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll be honest: When that portal window\u2019s open it\u2019s a long two weeks, if you will, because there\u2019s a lot happening,\u201d South Carolina<\/strong><\/a> coach Shane Beamer<\/a><\/strong> said. \u201cAnd you certainly want everybody to come back and you worry about getting phone calls and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n That\u2019s a two-way street, of course, as college programs are also able to supplement their rosters through the spring transfer window.<\/p>\n The programs likely to fare the best are the ones that have developed a strong culture. Even then there can be some wild and wacky surprises. Beamer recently participated in a golf tournament with several other college football coaches.<\/p>\n He came back with plenty to talk about.<\/p>\n \u201cBeing with some of those coaches the last couple days at the golf thing, sharing stories with them and hearing different things and things like that, it\u2019s an odd, strange, new two weeks for all of us in a lot of ways,\u201d Beamer said. \u201cBut survived it.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd at the same time we\u2019re always going to do here in this program, make this a program that guys want to be a part of, that they know they\u2019re going to be coached really, really hard. You guys have heard me say it before, be held accountable, be demanding. It\u2019s not easy being a part of this program, but I want guys that want to be here and I feel like we\u2019ve got a lot of them. Know we do.\u201d<\/p>\n Beamer knows because he met with all of his players and discussed where they stood.<\/p>\n He was pleased with what he heard back. And after losing a few players in the winter transfer period, South Carolina didn\u2019t have anyone enter in the spring transfer window.<\/p>\n \u201cI feel good. Had 101 individual meetings the week after the spring game and met with every single player in my office and had open and honest conversations, which we\u2019re always going to have about their role here and are they happy and where\u2019s their head at with things,\u201d Beamer said.<\/p>\n \u201cThen there\u2019s open and honest conversations with guys that you kind of talk about what their role is right now at this point and what does it look like going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n The goal for the third-year South Carolina coach is for everyone to be on the same page about on-field and off-field development.<\/p>\n \u201cI want every player that\u2019s in our program to enjoy the experience they have in our program and be able to do well in school, graduate, win football games, play at a high level,\u201d Beamer said. \u201cAnd if a guy feels like he has a better opportunity to do that somewhere else then we wish him well and will help in any way.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I thought the meetings were good. It showed. We\u2019ve got a lot of guys here in our program that love being a part of this program and love the direction of the program and love what we\u2019re doing right now. Couldn\u2019t be more excited about the group.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Shane Beamer discusses positive aspects of spring transfer window<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" College football coaches around the country can finally breathe at least a little bit easier…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
