Great freaking grab on Shannon.
Should be, we managed to beat you without a DC or any defensive staff that was paying attention.
Don't get too excited. UF was pretty happy to see him go. He plays a very passive defense. Almost no blitzing. If you can't stop the run or get pressure with your front you will have trouble. He also has a penchant for signing guys who are under the radar. Some work out, some don't. That said, that attribute could work in your favor with some of the 3* players. He is a better recruiter than coach, but he does have a lot of experience (HC and DC).
His philosophy is to recruit better guys than you have and win with more talent not gimmicks. Randy feels that if he is a coach at a Florida school, he will have better talent than you 90%. of the time. Hence why he is at UCF. It could have worked at UF if they had an offense that could control the ball and minimize turnovers. The inept UF offense wasted the talent that they had on defense.
Just pointing out that next year is still up in the air and will probably be different than this year.
The problem was that in the 3 years he was our defensive coordinator, he didn't stock the shelves very well. He was living off Muschamp's guys (who were phenomenal). This last year we had a walk on LB and an LB that wouldn't have started on any other SEC defense. Corners were solid, but almost no safety. Our front four (main one being a Muschamp guy) saved us from getting blown off the field.
Danny hit a homerun with Shannon as the DC I don't know enough about Heupel. I am looking for a Missouri game replay on ESPN.
Check out Drew Lock highlights. He's a bigger MM.
UF was #111 total offense and Randy had the #16 ranked defense playing in the SEC being on the field the entire game. Chinander has us #91 in total defense, thanks but goodbye.*
Not up in the air for your team, after loosing your QB your team will totally suck
Time will tell, hopefully they will act like men and not boys.
But the question is do they have the same moral integrity and character as Flowers?
You can say goodbye all you want. I've watched him coach for the past three years. You've watched him for three hours. He's a good hire for a bunch of reasons, just don't expect miracles. And I'm not sure where you got #16 from. This says otherwise. http://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/22
Remember these are usf fanboys we’re dealing with. That math (reading, writing, history, science, thinking) thing is not their strong suit!
I watched Shannon's interview and I'm not sold on him as a great fit for UCF. He admitted he hadn't seen UCF play at all, only knew they had a good season. During interview when asked why UCF, one of his reasons was "they pay their assistants >$200,000. There didn't seem to be any passion or motivation to choose UCF, more like "I needed a job and this fell in my lap!"
Let's not turn this into everyone that doesn't slobber over how greatful they are to be here immediately doesn't really want to be here.
RS was pointing out things that UCF did first. He mentioned several things. His point was that UCF is an innovator. A program that does things first. Don't twist his words.

he's a soft spoken guy and that comment was more of a compliment saying that the UCF Administration is committed
