Randy Shannon hired as UCLA defensive coordinator?

[MaehlMan]

Hmm. Maybe he'll do something with the crapload of talent there?

They are loaded with talent on the d side of the ball. Willis, O, and Marsh will be a very tough dline to deal with in the future

not sure why he'd want to go to that sinking ship.

To have a job was the first thing that came to my mind.

Uber talented defensive players was the next.

if ucla's defense was so talented why were they ranked 95th in total defense? i don't think the coaching was THAT bad.

that is a posibility, but ucla fans wouldn't be all too excited about that hire. he'd be cheap though and that would make the administration happy.

Very young talent, especially the front four

Shannon is a pretty decent defensive coach though. We'll see.

what a mistake by ucla

On a side note, gigs in Miami and LA back to back isn't too bad.

Could be sooner rather than later if Neuheisel doesn't do something soon.

 

[lylsmorr]

Shannon will have them in good shape defensively

hard to know how much of his success is a) the acc sucking and b) the talent at miami. it's been a while since that D shut down a major opponent.

Neuheisel will be gone after yet another mediocre 2011 campaign.

I think out would probably still be safe to consider Shannon the favorite at this pont.

seems strange he would interview someone else
