CBS Sports (gave Malzahn’s hire an A+) is pulling for our new coach to hold on to Shannon. I’m not feeling it. I believe Gus will find his own DC. What does everyone else believe he’ll do here?
Will Malzahn Keep Randy?

Buyout wise he stays but if Gus gets his way Shannon probably gets let go. DW giving him the extension killed us.
His answer to that question yesterday, led me to believe that he was going to find his own guy.
Gus would like to bring in his own DC but buyout may stop that from happening....unless boosters step up big time.
We still have the majority of the Tenn payout money. So I think we can afford to axe him if he wanted. I just don’t know who out there has more experience than Shannon.
Florida didn’t play Auburn while Shannon was a Gator, so they don’t have any on the field history against each other.
The only thing in Shannon’s favor is the timeline. We need to have a complete staff in less than 30 days and we are pretty late to the party. So most assistants are pretty plugged into their programs.

We do have buyout money, but we also had a very poor year in terms of revenue generation due to covid.
You’re right, though, we probably *could* afford it if we really wanted to go a different direction.
Personally, I would be okay with giving him one more year.
Given the timing, I can see RS staying this year. GM likes to be hands off on defense which I think benefits Randy.
I would also think TM amortized that buyout money in his mind to afford the higher salaries (coach and assistants) over the next few years
His staff is filling out nicely. Definitely an upgrade from Heupels guys.
Shannon will very likely end up in a P5 program, as a position coach or analyst.
Same.
As much as I would love to know, I doubt we will ever know what the split is of “blame” between Heupel/Shannon/Covid for last year.
Based on Gus's reaction I think he gone. Stock up on that 4 rivers on the drive out. Randy loves him some 4 rivers.
It's his ship. He's not some rookie head coach. He's going to be allowed to do what he thinks needs to be done to be successful. I think Randy is gone. Big thanks to Randy. Regardless of the negativity on here about him, he did a good job. 2018 and 2019 defenses were "good enough". Only time will tell if last year was an aberration or not. I think it will be. We had sooooooooooo many pieces missing on defense. We started down and the losses of personnel just kept accumulating.
Agree. Look at the way Michigan (2-4), Penn State (4-5), Mich State (2-5), LSU (5-5), Auburn (6-5) and plenty of others ended up. I think COVID had a much bigger impact on some programs than can be easily measured by stats and metrics, for whatever reason.
Agree. I mean how can you keep a $hit show like Shannon and our defense the last 3 years, and have a top 10 defense. Square peg round hole here.
LSU was expected. Had a bunch of guys go NFL. Everyone knew they’d struggle with 15 new starters.
Looking more likely Travis Williams is taking Randy's place.
it is basically ‘help us recruit but you won’t call the D’
He won’t do much. It’s a position in which he can’t coach players directly. Can only observe and talk to other coaches.
This hurts us by losing Coach Shannon.. All the Coach Shannon haters ask yourself how can a coach be so lame and worthless ? Like many of you idiots claim he is. When Coach Shannon continues in his coaching career by landing jobs at Miami, Florida, UCF and now FSU. How ? Is he not an asset ?
Was he really successful as a recruiter for us? I know he was supposed to be big help for us but I didn't think he was that effective. Perhaps I missed something.
