Staley will join Gamecocks track coach Curtis Frye as the only black head coaches in school history.Staley’s five-year deal includes a base salary of $250,000 — the same as new men’s coach Darrin Horn — and a total package reaching $650,000 annually, sources confirmed.If the contract is approved, Staley will make more in guaranteed income than Gamecocks baseball coach Ray Tanner ($345,000) and the man who hired her, USC athletics director Eric Hyman ($475,000).

Building suspense: Tour points to progress
Ray Tanner was in a dour mood Sunday as his USC baseball team flew home after being swept at LSU. Looking to feel better, the Gamecocks coach drove that night to the construction site of his team’s new stadium.“I needed a pick-me-up, and I’ve probably been here about 30 times since then,” Tanner said Wednesday, back at the site again.It’s been a long wait for the project, which was supposed to be completed for this season. After numerous delays, construction began in January.Now one-third of the work is completed, and the Gamecocks are scheduled to open next season in the park. The media was given a tour of the construction site Wednesday.The field at this point is an outline, but many concrete foundations have been completed. The tunnel leading from the locker rooms to the dugouts is nearly done, while the floor has been put down for what will be indoor batting cages and team meeting rooms.
