Shane Beamer (born March 31, 1977) is an American college football coach who is currently the head football coach at the University of South Carolina. Beamer has been credited with reviving South Carolina's football program after years of waning fan support and stagnated on-field production under former head coach Will Muschamp, who had been hired to replace legendary Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier. He has the second most top-ten wins in program history, and was named the SEC Coach of the Year in 2024. He previously served as an assistant coach at Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Georgia, and Oklahoma.
He is the son of former Virginia Tech Hokies football head coach Frank Beamer.
