Shannon is fired after a disappointing 7-5 season.

Shannon was a nice guy but a terrible HC. He'll get a job as a DC somewhere but he is no way HC material. I don't know after how many games you read his quotes of how he blames players for poor performance. He couldn't develop talent at all!!!!

Most logical choice.
This job has a ton of potential. Randy recruited pretty well, just didn't get the results.

Mark May completely washing Randy Shannon's hands of the shortcomings at Miami. Blaming players and fans for too lofty expectations. Shocker.

Roland Martin from CNN was going off about it to.
Calling Miami "stupid" for firing Randy and that it takes longer than 3 years in college football to turn it around.
I know why Roland was upset, and it had nothing to do with Randy's coaching abilities.

Yeah, I think we're on the same page here.

He's had 4 years. In those 4 years he has gone 28-22 (16-16 in a pretty bad ACC), and 0-2 in bowl games. Miami is a program that demands 10 win seasons and top 10 rankings. He is not going to get them that.
Wise choice to get rid of him IMO.

It appears that Miami(FL) is already getting the "That's Racist!!!!" treatment that ND got after firing Willingham.
Unfair IMO.

Richt already has a program going in reverse and Schiano won't take Miami any farther than Shannon has.
They need to lure a head coach from a mid-major or lower division school.

I still think it should be Mike Leach.
Leach's offense + the speed/talent available in Florida + being on the water so he can have his own real pirate ship = win.

Exactly. It's sickening that it comes down to that by some people. I guarantee race had NOTHING to do with the firing of Randy Shannon. If race was any factor, I would think he wouldn't be hired in the first place.
He was fired because his teams didn't produce in the 4 years that he was there, despite the preseason hype/recruiting classes.
To play the race card is asinine. This is 2010, let's be real here.

Sounds like a similar argument that some ND fans made after Ty was fired. I couldn't agree more. It's all about winning. Get it done or GTFO. The only color that matters anymore is green. Winning = money.

Hasn't been mentioned from what I saw. Brent Venables, Mark Richt, and Mario Cristobal (FIU coach/ U alum/Miami native) are the early names. Peterson would be good but I think Miami is a place where they really want one of their own to keep with tradition and know how to relate with the South Florida recruits. Mario Cristobal was doing a good job of recruiting Miami kids at FIU the last I followed them (a friend worked there), I think he'd be a solid choice over Richt. Venables is being mentioned because he has worked with Miami's AD before. Those type of deals aren't my favorite (Tom Wistrcill/Rob Ianello at Akron I am looking at you)

A couple of people are tweeting that Jon Gruden will be the next coach at Miami.

I've seen this too. Rumor has it Miami is prepared to offer Chuckie $3M per year. Gruden was a hot name last season for multiple jobs after comments were leaked he wanted to coach college football.

Yeah I think he would do well there. Hopefully it would take him a few years to get things rolling with his elaborate schemes and terminology with the Irish set to play Miami in the next few years...

Wasn't Gruden's Dad an asst. coach at ND? That ND-Miami game could get more interesting....
