Beamer Inks Contract Extension

Well-deserved. He has proven to all the haters that he deserved the shot he was given. Best first four years of any coach in South Carolina history, despite the total dumpster fire he took over.
 
Huge raise from 4 years ago at 2.75 to 8.1 million and has one winning conference record (5-3). Has won less than 50 percent of conference games but has a 2-2 record against the Tigers and that’s the most important part. Congratulations to Coach Beamer.
 
$2mil bump through 2030 (w/ escalation).

Between this, the Harris defeat, and a potential tour in Greenland - Watson is preparing to recede far deeper into his Foxhole than he ever anticipated.

Visionary.

That's a whole different topic.

I liked the idea floated a few times that buyouts should be dictated by results. Buying out a 3-9 coach should not cost the same as a 9-3 coach.

But that would be a huge shift in contracts.

When agents have you by the balls during renegotiations, there's nothing you can do.

SEC Coaching Contracts are a component of an Elitist Club.

One of the last things they are going to agree to is sliding scale buyouts based on performance.

The best you're going to do is what we did with Beamer on the front end.

I calculate 48.6%/yr increase during that timespan. GO COCKS

Nobody was coming after Beamer so why the rush

How do you know that nobody was coming? That's not something which always hits the press. Some schools have class and keep discussions private.

The contract had to be re-negotiated this year, he had a great season, and won Coach of The Year. He received the SEC industry average.
He could have easily walked and found that money somewhere else based on performance.

Based on what performance? Beamer got a raise because he has beaten Clemson. The university has always put that up at the top. I think Coach Beamer has really surprised some people with his coaching abilities and that’s a good thing. Now he’s going to ride Sellers for another raise.

Now you're just being silly. The man won Coach of the Year, won 6 in a row, beat ranked teams back to back, almost made the playoffs and had all of the media talking about them. It was probably the most excited season in Gamecock Football History.

You’re arguing with a troll. He’s going to take any position that’s convenient at the moment no matter how it contradicts his other positions.
