Randy Shannon

 I don't know why everyone is crying about him leaving. He never brought in elite LB talent. It is a chance to upgrade. I remember when we all cried about Segrest and Robb Smith, now we want to give them 10 year extensions. Relax, we are in good hands. WPS!

Spaight and Ellis came into their own this year. I'm confident we can get a great fit with the new hire, but RS deserves credit for sure.

Absolutely.  Shannon went for the low hanging fruit in recruiting, battles he could win.  He never really "joined the club" here.  I think we can upgrade with his leaving.

Don't blame RS we haven't had an elite linebacker in a long long time. For some reason they just don't want to come here. TBH

RS is a good coach and did a lot of good things here to help.   He will be missed but isn't replaceable.  Hate to lose him but who knows maybe the next guy could be even better.

JoJo and Kirkland were not low hanging fruit.

Coley, Ramsey, Brown and Edwards were more sleeper/under recruited types, I can agree.

Shannon had a positive impact on Arkansas. But now it's over and CBB will find a good replacement.

I just can't stand revisionist history. Give credit where it is due.

Shannon who?

[jackflash]

Shannon is gone. I am more concerned on who we get. Wish him well but time to turn this page. I think he did a great job.

Why don't you make a poll about it?

The best thing Randy Shannon did at Arkansas was help us get a foot in the door with South Florida recruits.  That's not a criticism, but Shannon has always been overrated a little, imo.  I like the guy and I'm thankful we had him for a while, but I wasn't ecstatic when he was hired and I'm not upset that he's gone.  We'll be just fine without Randy Shannon.

That's Hogville's way. When you are here you are the greatest.  Once you leave you are a bum. Most of these guys ragging on Shannon probably still holding the same job they had from high school.

They simply don't understand moving around as you climb the ladder. Then later in life are ready to move back home. They simply have not been away from home to know the draw to come back.

Shannon got a great job in his home state - nothing wrong with that. He did a good job while here. No need to revise history and run his work in the ground. Be a gentleman.

Randy Shannon?

Doesnt he coach at Florida or someplace?

Just because we got some players from Florida doesn't mean Shannon played a primary role in their recruitment.  I don't recall his name being mentioned much associated with those players before signing date.  Look at the players he's taking from us to go with him.  That's the level of recruits he goes after.

[SDZ_Hog]

Seems to me that his best contribution in recruiting was having the connection where we might not even known about under the radar recruits like Ramsey, Brown and Coley.

Don't blame the guy who was earning $400k a year to change that situation?  I don't think I agree with your logic.  Randy is supposed to be Mr. Recruiter in Florida.

I bet Coach B upgrades significantly.  Not to mention that I'm not sure I believe Randy was all in as a Hog, which the coaches that now remain seem to be.  Randy seems to always be looking for the next gig.

How do we need another RS thread?

If you didn't recall his name being mentioned you were not paying attention.

Partridge recruit Marks and Collins. That's why their names aren't mentioned above.

Richard Davenport's Bits are all free online. Use google to prove me wrong. (However it's a waste of your time because I'm right)

Does he?  I am not 100% sure and I liked RS, but the defense turned around in year one, under a guy that had a lot of LBer coaching in his past and that is Robb Smith.  It would be interesting to have sat through those practices and seen who had the biggest impact.

I will make a thread whenever I darn well please. Suck it! If you don't like it, don't click on it and respond. It is a message board. People make threads, ask questions. Geesh, bunch of goomers.

Thanks to the others who responded and gave me your opinion. Discussion is all I was looking for. Back to DST until all you other wall lickers get your medications adjusted.
