Shane Beamer (born March 31, 1977) is an American football coach and former player who is currently the head coach at the University of South Carolina. He is the son of former Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer.

Contents

Beamer is the highest-paid coach in school history. [1] He is the first South Carolina coach to win back-to-back games against top 10 teams [2] and the first FBS coach since 1978 to win twice by 20+ points as a 20+ point underdog. [3]

Early life

Beamer was born on March 31, 1977, in Charleston, South Carolina, to Cheryl (née Oakley) and Frank Beamer, at the time defensive line coach for the Citadel Bulldogs. In 1987, his father was named head coach of Virginia Tech, and the family moved to Blacksburg, Virginia. He attended Blacksburg High School where he lettered in both football and baseball, was first-team Group AA all-state receiver, and played in the 1995 Virginia high school all-star football game. [4]

College playing career

In 1995, Beamer chose to walk on as a wide receiver at Virginia Tech—where his father was head coach—over an offer of a partial scholarship from Division I-AA Charleston Southern. [5] [6] Later, he moved to long snapper, the position he played during the Hokies' 1999 season, in which they played for the national championship. [7] That was his last game as a football player, having graduated in December 1999. [8]

Coaching career

Georgia Tech

Following Beamer's playing career, he became a graduate assistant at Georgia Tech under George O'Leary for one season (2000), helping with the quarterbacks and wide receivers. [8] Beamer's team was scheduled to play against his father's team in the 2000 Black Coaches Association Classic to open the season, [7] but the game was canceled because of lightning and Georgia Tech refused to reschedule it. [9]

Tennessee

From 2001 to 2003, Beamer served as a graduate assistant under Phillip Fulmer at the University of Tennessee. He helped with the cornerbacks, assisted in all special teams areas, and oversaw game opponent scouting. [8]

Mississippi State

In January 2004, for Beamer's first full-time coaching position, he was hired by Sylvester Croom at Mississippi State as cornerbacks coach and recruiting coordinator. In 2004 and 2005, three of his defensive backs earned All-SEC Freshmen honors. In the spring of 2006, Beamer remained the recruiting coordinator and became the Bulldogs' running backs coach. Beamer both recruited and coached running back Anthony Dixon, who would go on to play for the San Francisco 49ers and the Buffalo Bills. [10] [8]

South Carolina (assistant coach)

On February 14, 2007, Beamer was hired by Steve Spurrier at the University of South Carolina to coach outside linebackers and to serve as the special teams coordinator. [11] [12] In 2008, the Gamecock defense finished 2nd in pass defense and 13th in total defense nationally. His 2009 special teams unit blocked five kicks, tying for the SEC lead and ranking eighth in the nation, while the Gamecock defensive unit finished third in the SEC in total defense and fifteenth in the nation. [13]

In 2009 and 2010, Beamer also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Gamecocks, "setting the foundation for the most successful run in school history". [8] The 2009 class was ranked 12th best in the nation by Scout.com and Rivals.com and included future NFL Draft picks Stephon Gillmore and Alshon Jeffery. [13] Both the 2010 and 2011 recruiting classes ranked in the top 25 and included future South Carolina stars and NFL players Marcus Lattimore and Connor Shaw. [13]

Virginia Tech

On February 14, 2011, it was announced that Beamer would join his father in Blacksburg as the running backs coach. [14] In his first year, he coached the school's single season rushing record holder, All-American and ACC Player of the Year, David Wilson. [13] Wilson was subsequently drafted in the first round by the New York Giants.

The 2014 season was notable in Beamer's career for several reasons. Beamer accepted Wake Forest game plan information prior to Virginia Tech's game against the Demon Deacons. The information was provided by Demon Deacons radio analyst Tommy Elrod, a former Wake Forest player and assistant coach who was at the center of what became the "WakeyLeaks" scandal. Virginia Tech eventually lost the game 6–3 in overtime after a 0–0 tie in regulation. The accusations came to light in 2016 when Beamer had moved on to an assistant coach position at the University of Georgia. Beamer denies providing the information to the coaching staff or players but was fined $25,000 by Georgia for his part in the scandal. [15] [16]

Beamer was also the acting head coach in the 2014 Military Bowl, as his father took a break from coaching to undergo throat surgery. The Hokies won by a score of 33–17. [17] [18]

Georgia

Beamer was hired by the University of Georgia on January 5, 2016, to serve on Kirby Smart's staff as the tight ends coach and special teams coordinator. [19] He coached several future NFL talents during his stint in Athens, including placekicker Rodrigo Blankenship and tight end Charlie Woerner. In 2016, Georgia ranked 112th in net punting average and 116th in kickoff return defense. By 2017, Georgia ranked 8th in net punting average and 40th in kickoff return defense, as well as 20th in kickoff return average, [20] and Beamer appeared in his second national championship game.

Oklahoma

On January 22, 2018, weeks after Georgia defeated them in the Rose Bowl, the University of Oklahoma hired Beamer to be assistant head coach under Lincoln Riley. [21] Specifically, he was an assistant head coach for the offense, coaching tight ends and H-backs, and also played a role in overseeing special teams. [20] Beamer was a part of the staff that coached the nation-leading scoring offense in 2018, where they averaged 48.4 points per game. During the three seasons that Beamer was a part of the staff, the Sooners won three Big 12 Championships and appeared in two College Football Playoffs.

South Carolina (head coach)

South Carolina head coach Will Muschamp was fired on November 15, 2020. [22] [23] Shane Beamer, still an assistant at Oklahoma, was considered one of the top candidates to replace Muschamp, alongside active head coaches such as Hugh Freeze and Billy Napier. [24] [25] South Carolina athletic director Ray Tanner announced that the school had hired Shane Beamer as its 36th head coach on December 6, 2020. [26]

2021 season

Beamer led South Carolina to a 2021 recruiting class that was ranked No. 80 by 247Sports, [27] and No. 74 by Rivals.com. [28] Additionally, Beamer brought on nine new assistant coaches to his staff, with only outside linebackers coach Mike Peterson remaining from Muschamp's staff. Most notably, he hired Pete Lembo as assistant head coach and special teams coordinator, Marcus Satterfield as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and Clayton White as defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach. [29]

Due to the roster turnover from Muschamp and only winning six games over the previous two seasons, South Carolina was predicted to win four games in 2021. [30]

On September 4, 2021, Beamer coached his first game at South Carolina, a home game at Williams–Brice Stadium against Eastern Illinois. The Gamecocks won by a score of 46–0. It was South Carolina's first shutout against any team since 2008. Beamer said after the game: "People talk about Beamer Ball — that's what it was. You have the ability to score on offense, defense or special teams, no matter who is on the field. We want to have that mentality." [31]

Beamer's first road game came a week later, with a victory over East Carolina. [32] His first conference game and first loss came another week later back at home, against the eventual national champion Georgia. [33] By the end of October, the Gamecocks were 4–4, already meeting the preseason expected win total.

On November 6, 2021, after a Halloween bye week, South Carolina welcomed Florida to Williams–Brice. Going into the game, the Gamecocks were 20.5-point underdogs and were given a 15.3% chance to win by ESPN. Despite this, the Gamecocks upset the Gators in dominating fashion, winning the game with a final score of 40–17. The Gamecocks were now 5–4 in the season, exceeding the preseason expected win total, and now only one win away from bowling. The win was described as the "first true taste" of the big wins that Beamer had experienced during the last time he was at South Carolina, as an assistant. Beamer said after the game: “I remember days and nights like this. We're not there yet. We're still a work in progress, but we took a big step tonight.” [34] [35]

Two weeks later, following a close loss on the road at Missouri, South Carolina's next home game was against Auburn. The Tigers started the game well, going up 14–0, at which point ESPN gave them a 93.2% chance to win. However, Auburn would only score three more points the entire rest of the game, while their defense also lost its edge, and South Carolina subsequently made a comeback. The Gamecocks won with a final score of 21–17, improving their season record to 6–5 and achieving bowl eligibility. It was also only South Carolina's second win in ten games against Auburn since 1996. [36] [37] [38]

Next, South Carolina was shut out by archrival No. 23 Clemson, finishing the regular season with a record of 6–6. Following the regular season, in December, it was announced that South Carolina would face North Carolina in the Duke's Mayo Bowl. [39] It would be South Carolina's first time going to a bowl game since 2018. Also in December, former Oklahoma quarterback Spencer Rattler announced that he would be transferring to South Carolina. [40] Rattler and Beamer had a connection from their time together at Oklahoma. [41]

Beamer wrapped up his first season with a 38–21 victory in the Duke's Mayo Bowl, finishing 7–6. It was South Carolina's first bowl win since 2017. Following the win, 4.5 gallons of Duke's Mayonnaise were voluntarily poured onto Beamer. The video of this happening went viral and resulted in a lot of publicity and positive buzz for South Carolina’s football program. [42]

The university has called the 2021 season "successful", with Beamer tying the school record for wins by a first-year head coach, doubling the preseason’s expected win total and surpassing the win total of the two previous seasons combined. [8] Beamer was named the winner of the Steve Spurrier National First-Year Coach Award, alongside Josh Heupel from Tennessee. [30]

2022 season

Beamer led South Carolina to a 2022 recruiting class that was ranked No. 24 by 247Sports, [43] and No. 26 by Rivals.com. [44] Additionally, Spencer Rattler enrolled prior to the spring semester and he would be Beamer's starting quarterback for the next two seasons. [45]

On October 8, 2022, South Carolina upset No. 13 Kentucky on the road. It was Beamer's first ever SEC road win and also his first ever win over a ranked opponent. The win was described as "monumental" and Beamer was named the Dodd Trophy Coach Of The Week. [46] [47] Two weeks later, South Carolina defeated Texas A&M for the first time in program history. [48]

On November 19, 2022, South Carolina beat No. 5 Tennessee at home by a score of 63–38. South Carolina's 63 points were the most points scored by an unranked team over a top-five opponent in college football history. [49] Additionally, Beamer became the first FBS coach since the FBS/FCS split to win twice by 20+ points as a 20+ point underdog, with the first occasion being against Florida in 2021. [50] The following week, the Gamecocks upset their rival No. 8 Clemson at Death Valley, ending the Tigers' 40-game home winning streak and 7-game winning streak in the rivalry. [51] Beamer became the only coach in South Carolina history to win back-to-back games against top-10 teams. The consecutive wins against Tennessee and Clemson have been described as "two of the biggest upsets in program history". [1] It was only the seventh time in history that a school had defeated AP top-10 opponents in consecutive weeks as an unranked team, and the first since 2003. [8]

The late-season wins garnered South Carolina its highest CFP ranking in program history, its highest AP ranking since 2014, and a berth in the Gator Bowl. [52] Prior to the bowl game, Beamer's offensive coordinator since his inaugural season, Marcus Satterfield, left to become an assistant at Nebraska. To replace him, Beamer hired Dowell Loggains from Arkansas. [53]

In the Gator Bowl, South Carolina lost to Notre Dame 45–38. [54] The 2022 team finished the season with an 8–5 record and a No. 23 ranking in both major polls. It was the program's first 8-win season since 2017 and first final ranking since 2013. Beamer became only the fifth South Carolina head coach ever to have a team ranked in a final AP poll. [55]

Days after the end of the season, Beamer's annual salary was increased from $2.75 million to $6.125 million, making him the highest-paid head coach in program history. [56]

2023 season

Beamer led South Carolina to a 2023 recruiting class that was ranked No. 16 by 247Sports, [57] and No. 17 by Rivals.com. [58]

Beamer entered the 2023 season facing what many called the most difficult schedule in the country. [59] [60] The Gamecocks lost their season-opener against No. 21 North Carolina, marking the first time Beamer started a season with a loss.

For the third game of the season, South Carolina went on the road to face two-time defending national champions No. 1 Georgia. South Carolina unexpectedly started the game 14–3, and Georgia's 11-point deficit at halftime was its biggest halftime deficit in nearly three years. Early in the third quarter, ESPN gave South Carolina a 61.9% chance to win, but the Gamecocks could not hold onto the lead. Georgia completed a comeback and won with a final score of 24–14. [61] [62]

After picking up its first conference win of the season at home against Mississippi State, South Carolina then lost the next four straight games, placing them at 2–6 for the season and only one loss away from bowl elimination. It was Beamer's largest losing streak until then. The most frustrating of these losses was against Florida, blowing a 10-point fourth quarter lead at home, after which Beamer received media attention for breaking his foot. [63]

However, with only home games remaining, the Gamecocks started to turn their season around. They won their next three games, clawing their way back up to 5–6. The regular season finale against No. 24 Clemson at home would be a fight for bowl eligibility. Going into the game, despite the losing streak in October, the Gamecocks looked poised to complete a season comeback and appear in a third consecutive bowl game. However, they lost with a final score of 7–16, ending their season.

South Carolina finished the 2023 season with a record of 5–7, missing a bowl game for the first time under Beamer's tenure.

2024 season

Beamer led South Carolina to a historic 2024 signing class, which included two 5-stars for the first time in program history. [64] Beamer's special teams coordinator since his inaugural season, Pete Lembo, also left to become the head coach at Buffalo. [65] To replace him, Beamer hired Joe DeCamillis from Texas. [66] [67]

Personal life

Beamer graduated from Virginia Tech in December 1999 and earned a master's degree in sport management in December 2003. [8]

He and his wife Emily have three children. [68] Beamer is a Christian. [69]
