Randy Shannon could be named Auburn's DC at the start of the year.

I could live with that.  The years he was DC at Miami his defenses were ranked pretty damn good.
2001 – 6th
2002 – 7th
2003 – 2nd
2004 – 28th
2005 – 4th
2006 – 7th

I could live with that.  We would have South FL on lockdown for recruiting.

Personally, I know it's not popular, but I want Whitt Jr as DC/DB, Thig to move to LB where he belongs and hire Pelton someone else to coach the ends and let Pelton worry about the tackles.

I grew up not to far from NJHS.  His teams were tough as hell back then.  I have met him several times and talked to him some.  He is a really good guy and believe it or not, knows the game.  He just isn't getting it done for whatever reason.  So yeah, he needs to go back to a desk job. 

I liked the idea of Joe Whitt Jr and the more I read about him and the more I remember about his dad, the more I am becoming sold on him.   The thing that worrys me about Shannon is the whole Miami booster deal.  Wasn't he there when that was going on?  Don't get me wrong I think he is a hell of a DC and recruiter, but that scares me just a little.

I may be way off base here but I seem to recall on that Meeyami deal, that it had been a part of the culture for years. And when Shannon took over, he did what he could to keep his players out of it but it was way too entrenched for him to put a stop to it.  As long as he was there, I imagine he was well aware of what was going on, though.

You are correct. Shannon hasn't been implicated in any of that. He was indeed trying to clean Miami up. Look what it got him. He was fighting a lopsided, losing battle the whole time.

Not that I really have a dog in the fight, but there are so many coaching changes happening right now, AU may benefit from letting the dust settle after all of the bowl games are played. New coaches may want to bring in their own folks, some coordinators might not like the new coach, etc etc.

This is what one of the Scout guys put up when it looked like BMFP was going to hire Shannon:


Hey guys,
I see that you're on the verge of hiring Randy Shannon as DC. Having covered the Canes and their recruiting efforts for Scout since Shannon was first hired at Miami in 2001, I wanted to share some insight on him as a coach/recruiter.

early years:
When he first got the job under Larry Coker in 2001, he was given the keys to the most talented defensive roster probably in the history of college football. Guys like Sean Taylor, Antrel Rolle, and Rocky McIntosh couldn't even see the field that year. The Canes had the most talented unit in America in his first three years on the job and he did a very good job with it. They were ranked in the top 10 each year and they created pressure, forced turnovers, and were tough to score against. Those three units produced nine first round draft picks.

later years:
In 2004, all of Butch Davis' recruits were gone and the Coker/Shannon kids took over. That began a steady decline in production. His 04 unit was exposed a few times, giving up 30+ points 3 or 4 times that year. Bobby Petrino brought his Louisville team in and hung 500+ yards and 38 points on them. In 2005 his unit ranked pretty high but they didn't see a top 30 offense until, LSU at the end of the season and the Tigers hung 40 points on them.

as head coach:
He became head coach in 2007 and his defenses were always solid but unspectacular. They never had a top 20 unit but averaged 28th in the country in his 4 years. That was with three DCs (the first one he hired was fired after 1 season and is now an asst with the Detroit Lions and the 2nd one left to Okie State after one year. His third one is now ST coach with the Hartford Colonials of the CFL). He had the same LB (the only UM coach retained after Golden got the current job) and DB (now at Vandy) coaches in those 4 years and two DL coaches (one is now at Louisville and the other at Duke).

coaching style:
Shannon had a philosophy and stuck with it the whole time. He was almost stubborn at times. He loves playing man, cover 2. He rarely blitzes (which is why his first DC didn't last). He relies heavily on his front 4 to generate pressure. The MLB runs the show, and he always put his smartest and most experienced LB there, often moving over a senior from the outside. His defenses give up a lot of yards between the 20s and then get real tough in the redzone. His units were geared towards not giving up big plays. Opposing offenses ran the ball with success but rarely made big plays in the passing game, which limited their yards and touchdowns. As a result, his defenses were always among the best in pass efficiency numbers.

personnel:
He loves the prototypes. If a 5-10 MLB who was first team all-state and an athletic phenom wanted to come, forget it. Ask Brian Rolle (Ohio State and now the Eagles). Same with 5-9 corners (ask Purdue's AA Ricardo Allen). Size/speed/athleticism were far more important to him than playmaking ability/football IQ/instincts. As a result, his units always looked great coming off the bus. They looked great in pre-games and often times a lot of his players wound up in the NFL despite below average college careers (see GB corner Sam Shields, who never started a game under Shannon in college). He'll assemble a very talented unit, no doubt. 6-5 defensive ends, 6-2 linebackers, and 6-0 corners are very common under Shannon.

recruiting:
His evaluations were always so/so. A lot of south Florida kids who wanted to be Canes werent offered and are now playing in the league (the Lions have 3 on their starting defense alone). He was, however, good in the home and with parents -- especially those without father figures (a large portion of the top recruits). He was able to change some minds (Jon Beason grew up a huge Florida State fan, for example).  He doesn't put much emphasis on summer camps. Rarely did they have good turnouts and rarely did they make many new offers after them. He puts a huge emphasis on recruiting kids from winning programs. If they're choosing between two similar kids, the one who won 2 state titles will get the offer all day over the one who played on a losing team in HS. He doesn't recruit many kids. At Miami, he rarely spent any time recruiting OOS kids who weren't interested in Miami. Maybe that will change now that he doesn't have a home recruiting base like south Florida but he focused mainly on kids who already had some interest. Schools are allowed to host 56 kids for visits. At Miami, they rarely had more than 35 come in. Some coaches will try changing a lot of minds. Shannon, instead, focuses on building the relationships and convincing the kids who are already interested.

His teams will be tough to score against in the redzone. They'll be tough to gain big plays against. He'll probably put together a pretty talented unit before long. And his kids genuinely like him.
I wish him well. I think it'll be a good fit under Petrino since they've competed against one another in the past. It'll be very interesting to see how well he does in the SEC. Any follow up questions to this, just ask away!

DC and DB coach at FSU and has coached DB's his entire career.  That will be interesting.  I think AUC said that Chizik wanted his next DC to coach DB's.  If that is the case and this is true, does Thig move to LB coach?  That is what he was at UNC and his stops before that.  It would seem logical.  Does this also mean that Lolley moves back to a desk job?  If so, then we would be one coach short correct?  Hire someone to coach ends and let Pelton coach tackles?

Random Terry Price story -

I took a few recruits to a film study with Price and the defensive ends.  Coach Price was giving a erudite explanation of the play on screen and using esoteric jargon that fluently expressed his expectations of the players involved. 

Then he noticed something and began to stutter. 

And then it went something like this, and it was loud (I can't remember the player's name):

"What the fuck?  WHAT THE FUCK SMITH?"
"Coach?"
Coach rewinds the film.
"That Smith!  What the fuck?  You let him block you like that?"
Blank stare from the player.
"God damnit!  GOD DAMNIT! SMITH!  DON'T YOU LET HIM BLOCK YOU LIKE THAT!  FUCK!  YOU RIP HIS FUCKING ARM OFF THE NEXT TIME HE BLOCKS YOU LIKE THAT!"
"Yes sir."
Coach rewinds it back to the same play.

Random Terry Price story -

I took a few recruits to a film study with Price and the defensive ends.  Coach Price was giving a erudite explanation of the play on screen and using esoteric jargon that fluently expressed his expectations of the players involved. 

Then he noticed something and began to stutter. 

And then it went something like this, and it was loud (I can't remember the player's name):

"What the fuck?  WHAT THE FUCK SMITH?"
"Coach?"
Coach rewinds the film.
"That Smith!  What the fuck?  You let him block you like that?"
Blank stare from the player.
"God damnit!  GOD DAMNIT! SMITH!  DON'T YOU LET HIM BLOCK YOU LIKE THAT!  FUCK!  YOU RIP HIS FUCKING ARM OFF THE NEXT TIME HE BLOCKS YOU LIKE THAT!"
"Yes sir."
Coach rewinds it back to the same play.
"GOD DAMNIT SMITH!  YOU CHOKE THAT MOTHERFUCKER BEFORE YOU LET HIM BLOCK YOU LIKE THAT."
"Yes sir."

And it went right back to normal instruction like nothing strange had happened.  The recruits thought it was awesome.

That's funny as hell.  I once saw Al Borges make a complete sentence using only the word "Fuck" 6 times.  Didn't know it was possible but somehow, it made sense.

Sexton notoriously floats his clients names around for every big job out there whether they have interest or not so that he can rework the contract for more money. He is Tubs agent and just look at the last 4 or 5 years he was at Auburn. I am sure there are more examples...

Auburn has offered Mark Stoops the defensive coordinator position.

The two parties are currently negotiating a few issues in the contract, money not being one of them.

Stoops would like to be certain he will have the liberty to run his defense and not have anyone meddling/forcing something on him.

Stoops would also like to have some control over the defensive coaching personnel (have major input into any changes/hirings...etc.).

If things get worked out, we could see something announced soon.

Chizik seeks 'right fit for Auburn'
Phillip Marshall

These are busy days for Gene Chizik. He's the defensive coordinator. He's the linebackers coach. He's the head coach. And he's searching for his replacement as defensive coordinator.

Chizik said he has managed to make time to identify some attractive candidates to replace Ted Roof, who resigned last week.

"Enough time to have a really good idea of some candidates," Chizik said. "There s a delicate balance here. I feel good about the knowledge of several different guys I feel like would be the right fits for Auburn."

Chizik said he won't insist that the new coordinator run a 4-3 scheme, which he has run for his entire college career, saying "That's not a deal -breaker."

" I think there has to be a similarity of philosophies, for sure," Chizik said. "You want to get somebody you know has done it successfully. You can't pigeonhole one particular thing you are looking for. You have to look at the whole thing, and it has to be the right fit for your staff as well.

"There has to be a right fit to mix in with the other guys. He has to be a great leader and all those things it takes to be a good coordinator. It's not as simple as saying I'm looking for one thing. There are a lot of things in the mix."

Chizik acknowledged he is also watching developments with offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who continues to be mentioned in speculation about head coaching jobs.

"Gus and I have a great relationship," Chizik said. "We've had several discussions about moving forward in his career and what his goals are. At the end of the day, the decisions he makes are going to be up to him. I'm sure he will make the best decision for him and his family. We are very open when we talk about it."

Chizik said he has a plan in case Malzahn lands a head coaching job before the bowl game.

Tuesday morning, Chizik was on the field for his second day of coaching linebackers, and he was enjoying it.

"It's a part you miss somewhat as a head coach unless you are a head coach and also a position coach, which some people do," Chizik said. "It's fun getting back in there with them. It's fun getting back in the meeting rooms and the grind of the film work and the practice film and things of that nature. The last two days have been really fun for me."

Chizik was asked if he would consider doing it permanently.

"I'll never say never," he said, "but right now that's not my aim."

NOTES AND QUOTES

Tiger players successful in the classroom

Chizik said there are no academic casualties for the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

"Academically, everybody is good to go," he said. "They did a real good job. I'm proud of how they finished the semester."

Chizik lauds Eltoro Freeman

Senior linebacker Eltoro Freeman, who graduated Monday, received high praise from Chizik.

"It's been an up and down journey," Chizik said. "I think he would tell you that. But he's grown up off the field. Unbelievable. And he's grown up on the field. That's the great satisfaction in coaching. They all have different journeys. When he leaves here in a month, you can say 'He came here as this and he left as a true Auburn man.'"

Second day of practice a good one

Chizik said the second day of bowl practice was a good one.

"We had a good day again, I felt like," Chizik said. "Our practice was upbeat. I think we got a lot accomplished. We stayed focused more on us getting better at the fundamentals of the game. Overall, we had a good day today."

It is interesting though. All signs pointed to that initially with the timing and prediction by JGT weeks ago. Finals were last week and grades were released the last 3-5 days. Maybe I am reading too much into Chizik's semantics. Maybe he meant of all the guys still "on the team" since Dyer is permanently off the team for a temporary amount of time.

I wonder if he'll be temporarily attending class next semester? And if so, how will he be allowed back at practice if practice is considered a class and you cannot join a class mid semester? And if this is so, is it really temporary?

Not sure. I guess since Roof coached the LB's, Chizik filled his shoes so there wasn't as much that changed in who the coaches are.
