Randy is a position coach. He was promoted to coordinator under a bad coach and never learned to be a good coordinator.

Player Bio: Randy Shannon - University of Miami Hurricanes Official Athletic Site

Shannon has produced defenses that rank among the best in the history of the program. Despite a 7-6 record in 2006, the defense ranked seventh in the country in total defense (allowing only 255.5 yards per game), fourth in rushing defense (a team-record 67.9 yards a game) and 13th in scoring defense (15.5).

In 2005, Shannon's aggressive 4-3 scheme led the nation most of the season in nearly every category and finished No. 1 in pass defense (152.17 ypg) and pass efficiency (89.48 rating), fourth in total defense (270.08 ypg) and scoring defense (14.25 points), and 23rd in run defense (117.92). He was named Defensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com.

In 2004, Shannon's defense ranked ninth in the country in pass defense despite having three new starters in the secondary. The UM defenses in 2002 and 2003 led the nation in fewest passing yards allowed, and the 2003 unit was fourth nationally in pass efficiency defense (96.16 rating), while finishing second in the nation in total defense (257.5 ypg). The 2003 Hurricanes also ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense (fourth, 15.1 ppg).

His 2002 unit led the nation in passing yards allowed (119.7 ypg) and in pass efficiency defense (83.91 rating), while finishing seventh in the nation in total defense (285.0 ypg), all of which was accomplished with an entirely new starting unit in the defensive secondary.

In 2001, Miami led the nation in turnover margin by forcing a school-record 27 interceptions and 45 turnovers. Miami defenders allowed a national-best 9.4 points per game, led the nation in pass efficiency defense (75.60 rating), ranked second in pass defense (138.2 ypg) and was sixth in total defense (270.9 ypg). The 2001 Hurricanes allowed just 12 touchdowns (seven rushing, five passing) and scored seven touchdowns of their own. Shannon's defenses have been ranked in the top 10 in turnover margin twice and led the nation in 2001.

His non aggressive defense showcased the best team in the history of CFB and allowed their talents to shine but ok.

Regardless of the argument, I will admit a strong bias on my end towards Shannon since I have a lot of school pride and he is an alumni of my alma mater.

Edit: To the OP, I only upvoted you because Shannon is a good DC, but he is no where near the title of best DC , I would even say he is outside of the top 20 when it comes to being a DC. Of course, with the talent base here, he could definitely field a top 10 defense without being a top 20 coordinator...even more so with Coach Kool on staff

IMO the top 3 DC's that would fit at Miami is
1. Don Brown
2. Charlie Strong
3. Dave Aranda
If it was up to me I would have Aranda as DC for 1 year, then when he gets hired away to be a HC, snatch up Charlie Strong from Texas when he gets fired

He didn't have to be. He played a bunch of Cvr2, man under. What Palermo did with the defensive front in 2006 was unbelievable. That offense was atrocious and put a tremendous amount of pressure on the defense and it performed extremely well. Randy and John didn't mesh well so bye bye John for 2007.

Palermo is a coach I hoped would find his way back to UM one day.
I think he did incredible that year.

I've always said, if not for Jeff Bowden at FSU...Shannon never gets the Miami HC gig.

Once FSU got rid of the worst OC in the history of football, Shannon was exposed as the potato he really is.

Dude you wanted Chud for our head coach....a potato as our head coach so please stop it...
 
Good/Great DCs don't have to be LB coaches for 5 years.

When Muschamp got fired from UF, there was a bidding war for his services. When Shannon was fired, he had to take LB gig at TCU.

This would be false. There was a huge bidding war for Randy Shannon for DC but he turned those jobs down. You have to give Randy credit. He fully admitted that he was not ready to be a head coach when he took the job. Unlike Golden and Weiss who for some reason believe their scheme and coaching philosophy would work if people just brought into it, Randy decided that he would learn from other programs.

With his desire to be a head coach again this was a good move on his part.
