Every South Carolina assistant is now under contract through at least the 2026 season, and all 10 now earn north of half a million dollars per year.

Shula’s 3-year deal starts at $1.1 million per year, while defensive coordinator Clayton White netted a 3-year extension that boosted his salary to $1.9 million. He is now under contract through 2028, and will make $2 million in 2025 and $2.1 million from 2026-28.
