Former Miami Hurricanes football coach Randy Shannon joins rival Florida State as defensive analyst

Florida State has hired former Miami Hurricanes head football coach Randy Shannon as a senior defensive analyst, the school announced Monday.

Shannon, 55, spent the past three seasons as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at UCF but was not among the assistants Josh Heupel brought with him from UCF to Tennessee.

Shannon, who went 28-22 in four seasons at Miami, also spent 2015 to 2017 at Florida, serving as defensive coordinator and four games as interim head coach in 2017.

"Randy Shannon is a tremendous addition to our staff," Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell said in a statement.
