South Carolina has extended the contract of football coach Shane Beamer through 2030 following a successful season where he led the team to a 9-4 record. The new deal, valued at $8.15 million per year with annual raises, includes a $5 million buyout in the first year. Beamer, who has a 29-22 record since joining in 2021, expressed pride in his role, noting the achievements and future aspirations of the football program amidst rising salaries among SEC coaches.
I'm proud to represent the University of South Carolina and to lead our football program as the head coach. As I've said before, this is my dream job.
Beamer, 47, has a 29-22 record since taking over the Gamecocks in 2021, the best record by a South Carolina coach in the first four seasons.
The new deal makes Beamer the SEC's ninth-highest paid coach, along with Oklahoma's Brent Venables, according to contract figures from USA Today's coaches' salary database.
We've accomplished a lot on and off the field over the past four years, but we're not satisfied. There's more to do and we're just getting started.
