How Do We Feel About Randy Shannon

For four sometimes disastrous, sometimes monumental years, Randy Shannon was the head coach for the Hurricanes. However, what is his legacy at Miami?

Replacing Larry Coker at the end of the 2006 season, Shannon came in with high praise, as he was the first African American head coach in the history of the program.

Hiring Shannon seemed like a great choice to the people around the program. He was a National Champion during his time as a player at Miami in the late 80’s. and was a coordinator for the Dolphins and the Hurricanes before being hired as head coach.
