Actually, I think it was only since 1997. That was the year Butch Davis coached UM's first losing season since 1979. Banners. Ring a bell?

I think Randy Shannon could still perform at a high level as a DC provided that he has a defensive roster full of future NFL pro bowlers with a few potential HOFers thrown in.

it was. fat mobile fingers got me there.
 
He's left a trail of disappointed fan bases everywhere he's been. Ask UF how his Dade recruiting pipeline worked out for them. They'll tell you all about his "Randy specials" and "diamonds in the rough". The EXACT same thing we complained about when he was here. Go get it Romeo Davis!

Yes, go get it Romeo Davis as in, go get the Ga. Tech QB's hand warmer and hang on for dear life while you ski down the field for 50 yards on the way to the end zone.

Head coach was former linebacker and former NFL linebacker coach...and that's what we got with him at the helm.

In all fairness to Randy, he was a good DC while he was here. It wasn't until he got the HC gig that he got in over his head. As they say in business, employees are meant to rise up the ranks until they reach their relative level of incompetence. Randy was never meant to be more than a DC. Nothing wrong with that in the grand scheme of things.

As far as his obvious bitterness and resentment towards the program, the guy should seek professional help so that he can move on, for his own sake. He embarrasses himself each time he takes a shot at us, no matter how subtle. Can't be easy to get booted from your alma mater (and especially in the way the he was booted), but at some point he has to recognize and accept that it was 100% the correct decision.

Capt Kirk: Scottie, what's the status of Sami's spandex?

Scottie: Aye Captain, it's exceeding it's tensile strength by 150%...Any second, a critical failure will occur and it's gone!

Spock: If our Chief Engineer is correct, computer records indicate that no matter how much extraneous flesh is revealed, Radio will still hit it!

Oh man, I had completely forgotten about that game. What did GT have, like 500+ yards rushing on us that day?
 
Just watched the entire video and siap but how do you not tell your own son who is on the team that you’re going to coach there. Weird.

People forget that Arkansas passed him over when they replaced their DC and left him at LB coach. Shannon sucks as a DC. Had great numbers with Rolle and Taylor as DBs.

He is so bitter at UM that its not funny. So he doesn't cut as a head coach anywhere and tends to throw UM under the bus any chance he gets. That is because he still wishes he was at the U.

Randy should never be bitter at UM. Until a few years ago, everything he had was because of opportunities afforded to him by the U. He's made a ton of money because UM gave him a chance to be a Head Coach. He did not seize that opportunity. His #1 mistake was not hiring the right assistants. He made some really poor choices on those. He was given a lot of runway to succeed as a HC. He and he alone failed. Randy should be more classy & stop throwing any digs at a place that has given him so much (more than any other place has given him).

He didn't mention coaching at the U because he doesn't want people looking up his poor W-L record as a HC.

UM wasn't going to pay for quality assistant coaches. We paid Randy peanuts, and his assistants the shells. Richt is the first coach in years to get the money needed to put a real staff together.
