Shane Beamer rounds out defensive staff with former Florida assistant, reports say

Shane Beamer is in the final stages of assembling his staff for South Carolina football — and the latest assistant coach to reportedly join the fold is someone with whom he shares a long history.

Torrian Gray will join the Gamecocks as the defensive backs coach, ESPN, The Athletic and AL.com reported Monday evening. Gray last worked at Florida, where he held the same title, but his ties to Beamer date back more than two decades.

Is it just me or has Torian's star really fallen since leaving VT?

Enough already. The next thing you know, Bud will be DC whose specialty is stopping mobile QBs, Metallica will play Enter Sandman live for all the entrances, Frank will start sharing milkshakes at their basketball games, and they'll have a top-notch fan site with an Xs & Os guru who loves cheese, Top Gun, and Sturgill Simpson.

If you play it, they will win.

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."

But not Def Coordinator

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.
