Former Miami Hurricanes head coach, Randy Shannon has a unique perspective of both the University of Miami and Florida State University. Shannon was a trusted defensive coordinator under former Canes coach, Larry Coker. The Miami native has remained primarily in the state of Florida during his various coaching stints.

In 2021, Shannon did the unthinkable. He was hired by the University of Miami's prime nemesis, the Florida State Seminoles as a Senior defensive analyst.
