TAMPA — Randy Shannon has been running around more at practice but the veteran coach doesn’t mind, he actually might be more comfortable.
Shannon took over as the Florida Gators defensive coordinator when Geoff Collins left to take a head-coaching job at Temple. That means Shannon had to leave the linebackers he had been working with the past two seasons to take on a larger role, creating a scheme and overseeing the defense as a whole.
“I bounce around from the corners sometimes, sometimes with the safeties and sometimes the linebackers and a little bit with the d-line,” Shannon said of his new role.
