through Rivals and another media outlet is that Pete Boone just interviewed Randy Shannon, the Defensive Coordinator at the university of Miami. here is some coaching accomplishments

Coaching Accomplishments


2003 defense was fourth nationally in pass efficiency defense (96.16 rating), second in total defense (257.5 ypg) and fourth in scoring defense (15.1 ppg).
Led the nation's leading defense in pass defense and pass efficiency defense during the 2002 season.
Winner of the 2001 Frank Broyles Award as national assistant coach of the year.
Led the nation's leading defense in turnover margin, scoring defense and pass efficiency defense during Miami's 2001 national championship season.
His 2001 defense set a school record for turnovers forced (45) and interceptions (27).
Developed the linebacker corps of one of the NFL's top defenses with the 2000 Miami Dolphins.
As an assistant at UM from 1991-97, Shannon worked with Miami's outstanding 1992 and 1994 defenses that registered 48 sacks in 1992 and led the nation in total defense in 1994.


I think he would be a good (not great) hire, and could really boost recruiting in FL. Any Miami fans here? What do you think?

btw, he interviewed him IN Miami.

He comes from a solid program, and you don't see Miami's defense give up a lot of points usually. Shannon will prolly be able to pick up a few players in Florida for you guys, but that's one recruiting hotbed that's going to have a LOT of schools around, since you can add Illinois and Zook to the mix. If Shannon was hired, it would set a huge publicity wave, as Shannon would become the 3rd African-American head coach in 1-A football, and 2 of the 3 would be the 2 Mississippi schools in the SEC.

They have said that they are not interviewing anyone in Oxford until it is down to the last few candidates. Of course, that's coming from Boone so take it with a grain of salt.
