FAYETTEVILLE — South Carolina Coach Shane Beamer was a Georgia assistant along with University of Arkansas Coach Sam Pittman from 2016-17.
Pittman left Arkansas to be the Bulldogs’ offensive line coach, a position he had coached for many years. Beamer was coaching tight ends for the first time after coaching defensive backs, linebackers, running backs and special teams at previous stops.
“The tight ends are so intertwined with the offensive line,” Beamer said on Wednesday’s SEC coaches’ teleconference. “It was a learning experience for me, but Sam was very patient and taught me a lot of football, which I appreciated as a first-time tight ends coach.
