Randy Shannon named new FSU linebackers coach

Defensive analyst Randy Shannon has been promoted to a full-time role for Florida State Seminoles football.

He’ll be coaching linebackers at Florida State after the departure of linebackers coach Chris Marve to be Virginia Tech’s defensive coordinator. Marve, who struggled mightily on the recruiting trail, managed to only sign two HS linebackers in three signing classes with an average composite rating of 84.5.

“I’m excited to have Coach Shannon taking on this new role on our coaching staff,” Norvell said. “His insight, passion and integrity have been on display since he arrived at Florida State last spring, and his experience as a head coach brings valued perspective.
