Third-year South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer discussed his stance on potentially having radios in helmets on Wednesday’s Southeastern Conference coaches media teleconference.
“I like the idea of it,” Beamer said. “When I first got hired here as the head coach at South Carolina, it was up for discussion. I can remember some of our early head coaches meetings when I got hired in the spring of 2021, it was something that we discussed. Something that I thought was very intriguing. Everybody has technology. You go to high school game, tons of technology. I think I saw where Matt Rhule talking about this yesterday, NFL games, they have technology. For whatever reason, college is a little bit behind. One, making sure that every team, whether you are SEC, Group of Five, Big Ten, Big 12, everybody’s got the same capabilities and policies, making it universal, but I think it would be good.
“Essentially, you’ve got a group of coaches that don’t want it for certain reasons, and then you’ve got a group of coaches that do want it for certain reasons. I know it’s a big topic of discussion this week with sign stealing, or signal stealing, and things like that, but me personally, I like it, would be in favor of it.”
Beamer’s comments come after sign stealing allegations at Michigan.
