Shane Beamer and South Carolina have agreed to a contract extension that will keep in Columbia until 2030. Per ESPN:
quote:Beamer has a 29–22 overall record in four seasons with South Carolina. The Gamecocks are coming off their best season under Beamer, finished 9-4 and just missing the 12-team College Football Playoffs.
Beamer, who guided the Gamecocks to a 9-4 record this past season, will be paid $8.15 million this year with $100,000 raises annually, according to a term sheet of the deal obtained by ESPN. He was scheduled to make about $6.6 million this year under a previous extension he signed in 2023.
The new deal includes a $5 million buyout if Beamer leaves South Carolina in the first year, which drops by $1 million each year of the contract.
The South Carolina board of trustees approved Beamer's extension during a meeting Friday.
"I'm proud to represent the University of South Carolina and to lead our football program as the head coach," Beamer said in a statement. "As I've said before, this is my dream job. My family and I love being here. 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."
