COLUMBIA — South Carolina football quarterback LaNorris Sellers revealed offensive coordinator Mike Shula's method of criticism when going over film.
Shula has a fake piece of poop that he will tell the quarterbacks to put on the table because their mistake was like they "took a dump" on Shula's desk.

"If I do something bad, he will just be like 'just go get the dump,'" Sellers said Aug. 19. "He will make you put it on the desk and say, 'That's what you just did to me.'"
Sellers explained that Shula will leave it in his office, and when the quarterbacks are reviewing film, he'll instruct the player who made a mistake to go grab it and bring it back to the table in the film room.
"We'll hand it to him and he will say like 'That's what you just did to me,'" Sellers said.
Cutter Woods and Air Noland have made the trip more than others, Sellers said, just because they are new and still learning the system.

"It looks like real poop, I wish I could go get it," Sellers said.
Coach Shane Beamer promoted Shula from an analyst to offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in December when Dowell Loggains left for the head coaching job at Appalachian State.
Last week, Beamer was in the quarterbacks meeting with UNC Asheville basketball coach Mike Morrell and Marquette basketball coach Shaka Smart, who were both visiting Beamer for the day. According to social media, the three coaches are friends.
In that same meeting, Shula ordered Woods to go get "it."
"I didn't know what was going on but Cutter came back carrying the piece of you know what," Beamer said. "He enlightened us on the back story going back from when he was with the New York Giants , whatever it takes to connect with guys and motivate them, I am all for."

Shula, 60 and a former Alabama head coach, was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach of the Giants from 2018-19.
"There are certain things that need to stay in-house and that was probably one of them," Beamer joked.
