The view was pretty good for new South Carolina offensive coordinator Bryan McClendon as he sat in the booth for the first time during USC’s bowl game. As wide receivers coach, and going back to his Georgia tenure, he usually had coached from the sideline.
And it sounds as if he’ll make that a permanent spot as he goes forward.
McClendon said he was leaning on calling plays from up high when he takes over the Gamecocks offense. That could change based on how things work with new quarterbacks coach Dan Werner, but McClendon said there were advantages to what he did in Tampa against Michigan.
