Report: Miami to name Shannon head coach
FOXSports.com
The University of Miami will promote defensive coordinator Randy Shannon to head coach, the Miami Herald reported Thursday night.
The report, citing a well-placed university source, indicated that Shannon has accepted the position, and that an annoucement would be made on Friday. Shannon, 40, would become the sixth black head coach in Division I football, and would replace Larry Coker, who was fired last month after six seasons. Miami had pursued Rutgers coach Greg Schiano for the job, but Schiano, a former Miami assistant coach, opted to remain at Rutgers.

Well deserved. He is a great recruiter and great defensive mind. It'll really be interesting to see who he brings in as his assistants, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

He's the only guy that would want that job right now.
Good fit all around.

kind of a no brainer, it was their only way of not losing him unless he was willing to be Kosar's D Coordinator. I still don't understand what made Bernie think he was qualified.

Or Shannon Doherty. She has more of the attitude, temperment and class that Dah U is known for. Plus, no one likes a fight more than Shannon Doherty.
