A photo cirulating on soncial media Monday morning shows a "Fire Mike Shula Protest" flyer pinned to a bulletin board on the University of South Carolina campus, adding fuel to the ever-growing fan frustration over the Gamecock's struggling offense.
The flyer, which appears to be originally posted on Snapchat, although the source has not been confirmed, lists a rally scheduled for Tuesday afternoon on Greene Street at 3 p.m. ET, urging students to "rally against awful and predictable playcalling" and accusing offensive coordinator Mike Shula of "completely ruining Sellers" and "not knowing how to run an offense."

The post is quickly making its rounds on social media platforms, where fans shared the image with reactions ranging from disbelief to laughter. The caption on the circulating photo read: “There’s a protest against Mike Shula? 😭”
Mike Shula, who is in his second season as South Carolina's offensive coordinator, has been under mounting criticism as the Gamecocks continue to rank near the bottom of the SEC in offensive production. Head coach Shane Beamer has defended his coaching staff publicly, as recently as yesterday, saying that he remains confident in his group and is focused on fixing execution rather than assigning blame to anyone.
Whether the student protest actually materializes remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: frustration in Columbia has reached a boiling point, and it's finding its voice both online and on campus.
Stay tuned for updates on the rally and everything else Gamecock related from Garnet and Cocky!
