I keep hearing stories about Amato wants to hire Randy Shannon defensive coordinator for NC State?
If you get him thats one hell of a coach to have, in his first year as D coach UM won the National Championship and had the #1 ranked D.
Shannon also has the credentials to be a head coach, which I thought he would pursue, but hey if you get him thats a very big pick up for the WolfPack but an even bigger loss to the Canes.
They lost their Offensive coordiantor to the Cleveland Browns, and now if Shannon leaves :eek:

If he does, then we'll really see what Larry Coker is made of. No offense to State, but I can't see the point of Shannon leaving Miami to come to Raleigh and take the same position.

I heard NC State is offering him at 6 figures more then Miami is willing to offer.
Now I dont know about you but if someone wanted to give me $100,000 more then I would seriously consider leaving also.
You also made a very good point, one that I have thought.
Besides the money why would Shannon leave unless it was to become a head coach.

Well, for a chance at $100k more and moving to a solid program like NCSU, I'd probably go for it too. If it was an "even trade" I wouldn't, but money definitely talks these days.

I haven't seen anything official, but the reports drifting in are that Shannon will remain with UM. I'm sure they counter-offered, so it worked out for him.

Its official Shannon is staying at Miami.
