Feldman: FAU shortlist: Cristobal, Shannon, Leavitt

Why would Shannon take another head coaching job? He has to already realize he sucks at head coaching. He sort of has a coordinating job now. And he might get promoted to being UF's main DC if Geoff Collins leaves.


Realize he sucks? It was his first try and it was at a major college before he even coached outside of the city of Miami...Thats like saying Nick Saban shouldn't have been a HC after he sucked the first time.

I kinda know Leavitt. Talked to him many times when he was building the USF program. Really approachable down to earth dude. Used to take my son out to USF to run the hill between fields (now usf practice and soccer fields). He would always stop and chat us up. Dude knew talent and is a top caliber DC.

Somebody sacrifice a chicken so FAU hires mario from bama

Would be wasting a chicken. I can't believe people still believe Mario is the reason kids go to Bama. They'll go regardless of who's carrying the duffel bags
 
Is FAU a better job than FIU?

Yea....they have an real football stadium for starters
That new stadium they just built is no bueno?

Compared to FAU and that there's more plans for it...yea

The FAU stadium, having experienced it firsthand when we played there last year, is somewhat better than a glorified high school stadium. And the parking is a complete joke. If they ever get big crowds there, they cannot handle it, parking turns into a clusterfūck. Proven when I went there to the game last year. Fortunately, from my understanding they never have big crowds. That Miami crowd was the biggest they've ever had then, and since.

So I get what you're saying. That FIU stadium is actually worse than high school stadiums. I've been to the Traz on several occasions, and I will bet it's better than the FIU stadium right now
 
Think Randy takes it. Leavitt ain't going to FAU given what he's done this year.

I think Cristobal can land a better job as well. At worst a UCF caliber, at best a lower tier ACC/BIG10 school.

Would be the perfect job for Randy. Recruit your backyard.. Profit.

I hope Mario gets an offer and takes the job. Don't care what small impact it may have on recruiting. I want that redneck school out of SoFla.
 
Leavitt if they want the most successful coach with a track record. However i hope Randy gets the job tbh. The job here was to big for him, but he said something about going around the block 1 time. Meaning he now knows what he didn't know then. The odds of a fired, black head coach (not trying to make this a race thing, but the stats are bad) getting another chance to be a HC again are pretty astounding. Say what you want, but i think Randy at the end of the day is a good dude. One of the few who had Nevin pegged correctly. I'd like him to get another crack.

Mario goes and Saban just hires another S. FL recruiter like Jujuan Seider from WVU to kill it in S. FL.

I think he was a really bad HC for us (and a lazy recruiter), but he deserves another chance somewhere if he wants it. He might not.

Mmmmm...Saban never sucked. He took a dead MSU program and made them relevant. That's what got him the LSU job.

I will be very very surprised if Shannon gets the FAU job.

You're totally right. He was a bad for us.

i think a school like FIU he could be successful with the knowledge he learned from his time here. Built in advantages are all around for Shannon at that school. I think he would be able to pull local kids and compete against their competition on the field. He's a competitive guy and im sure he would like another shot. FIU is a best case scenario, Low expectations and he could probably get them to be competitive year in and year out for a bowl. That's really winning at FIU
