Shane Beamer’s Comments After Signing Contract Extension
After signing the contract extension, Beamer expressed his appreciation for the school’s support and his honor to continue as head coach of the Gamecocks. He then highlighted that there was more work to be done and that he was not satisfied just yet.
On3 analyst Wes Mitchell provided a transcript of the statement on the social media platform X:
“I’m proud to represent the University of South Carolina and to lead our football program as the head coach. Thank you to President Amirides, Thad Westbrook, and the Board of Trustees, Ray Tanner and Jeremiah Donati, for their trust and support. 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,” Beamer stated.
