South Carolina has agreed to a significant 6-year contract extension with SEC Coach of the Year Lamont Paris, extending his tenure through the 2029-30 season. The new deal, pending board approval scheduled for tomorrow, will see Paris earning an average of more than $4 million annually. This agreement follows an impressive season where the Gamecocks, initially predicted to finish last in the SEC, secured a 25-6 overall record and a 13-5 record in the league. The contract extension effectively removes Paris from consideration for the Ohio State coaching position, underscoring South Carolina's commitment to retaining their head coach amidst his successful tenure.
