South Carolina defensive line coach Lance Thompson is not expected to return to the Gamecocks next season, a source told The State on Thursday.
Thompson “will not be kept,” ABC of Columbia reported on Thursday. He has coached South Carolina’s defensive line since head coach Will Muschamp was hired prior to the 2016 season. He was one of Muschamp’s first hires, coming with the head coach from Auburn.
South Carolina had already added Thomas Brown this offseason. Brown will coach running backs in 2019 and took assistant coach Pat Washington’s position on the staff.
When Brown’s hiring became official Wednesday, athletics director Ray Tanner indicated that more football staff changes could be coming.
