Shane Beamer is receiving a contract extension that will keep him as the football coach at South Carolina through the 2030 season.
The university announced Friday that the board of trustees approved the extension, but financial terms were not released.
Per the USA Today database on coaches’ salaries, Beamer earned $6.375 million in 2024, placing him 14th among the Southeastern Conference’s 16 coaches.
“The culture and commitment to excellence that Coach Beamer has built in our football program shows that we are headed in the right direction and on a strong upward trajectory,” athletic director Jeremiah Donati said. “Coach Beamer has made clear his desire to be at the University of South Carolina and this extension shows our collective support for him as the leader of our football program.”
Beamer is 29-22 in his four seasons with the Gamecocks and has led them to three bowl games. His wins include victories over a trio of national-championship-winning coaches: Jimbo Fisher, Dabo Swinney and Mack Brown.
The Gamecocks were 9-4 (5-3 SEC) last season and were ranked No. 19 in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll.
“As I’ve said before, this is my dream job,” Beamer, 47, said. “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.”
The Gamecocks are scheduled to open the 2025 season on Aug. 31 against Virginia Tech in Atlanta.
