Really?? Alternative reality at work again lol!
Was or is Randy Shannon head coaching material at a lower tier school? **** yes with his resume, Broyles Awards, experience (including the NFL), and 3 rings in 3 different capacities. Was Shannon good enough to be UM's coach? No. Did he get a raw deall in more than one way? Yes. Are these two facts mutually exclusive? No.
Now as Canes fans do we have an prevailing issue with an influx of die hard Shannon supporters despite the facts mentioned above? Or is their truly a majority of Canes fans that bash overtly bash Shannon whether justifiably or not? Shannon support is rare, the prevailing thirst to openly bash him should be the topic that should be addressed if any between the two.
Plenty white coaches sucked their first go around, but got 2nd and 3rd chances, almost immediately. That's the difference...race...and the numbers support this. Willingham, Shannon etc...one shot deals after failure. I remember arguing on other Cane blogs with posters who swore that Golden and D'No would NEVER work on the FBS level again. I told them they were out of their freakin minds and are oblivious to the alternate reality they live in. Golden is in the NFL and D'No is a defensive coordinator for another FBS school LOL! Shannon can't even get another shot at the position he won the highest award for (DC).
