Randy Shannon

Maybe it won't get locked this time.

Arkansas: Don't be surprised if Bielema targets former Cal defensive coordinator Andy Buh as a replacement for Randy Shannon. Buh was part of Bielema's staff at Wisconsin. Keep track of open FBS assistant jobs here.

Florida: Arkansas linebackers / senior associate head coach Randy Shannon will join Florida's staff as linebackers coach, according to ESPN's Brett McMurphy. The news was first reported by the Florida blog In All Kinds Of Weather. Keep track of new coaching staffs here.

Brett McMurphy ‏@McMurphyESPN  9m9 minutes ago
Arkansas asst/former UM coach Randy Shannon will be Florida LB coach source told @ESPN. 1st reported by @Brody_IAKOW

[Pork Twain]

Oh well.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

This is all I have been asking for. Brett McMurphy is credible

Hate to see him go but he will be much closer to home.

[WilsonHog]

Brett McMurphy from ESPN will work.

[wupigsuey]

Buyout 100K today, 50K tommorow

[HF#1]

Murph is referencing the same guy that reported Mullen was going to be the next HC at Florida.

[yraciv]

Appreciate all Randy Shannon has done to help rebuild this program.  Full faith in Bielema to get us a solid replacement.

[Mike_e]

Thanks for all you've done for us coach Shannon.

Good luck in your new endeavor.

I mentioned this yesterday, but this all goes back to this Brody tweet, I ask who is this Brody guy?

[colbs]

Does Buh have recruiting ties to Florida?

From Coaching Search:

Buh was originally mentioned with Partridge, Ash and Hammock as the coaches he wanted to take with him to Arkansas

[Jimmy Chitwood]

I like reading the coaching search guy, but with every hire for us he goes straight to someone that used to work at Wisconsin. Bielema has shown no desire to go in that direction with anything other than his original staff. Hell I could do that job if all it is is conjecture based on who used to work for whom at which school.

[PonderinHog]

After reading that long story about everything Coach Shannon has been through, I can only wish him one thing.  Peace, coach, peace.

Buh isn't even coaching anymore.  Cal reassigned him did they not?

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

That is correct

They did, last spring, I believe.

Sorry but I don't want this guy...

If he isn't good enough to coach for Cal, then he damn sure isn't good enough for Arkansas.

[Tim Harris]

Buh probably would have been here had he not been named DC at Cal.

Buh bio:

What is his strongest recruiting territory?

[memphishog]

from the cal SB Nation blog when Buh was removed from Sonny Dykes staff earlier this year:

"Buh will not find many supporters for keeping him on staff. In his one year stint as Cal defensive coordinator, he presided over the worst defense in Golden Bear history, one that showed minimal improvement and often put the offense in huge holes minutes into the game. While Buh did have to adapt to a set of disastrous injuries to Cal starters, what he got out of their replacements was close to nothing. Cal's defense pretty much precluded them from being competitive in almost any of their games last season, losing by two touchdowns or more in all but one of their losses last season (and losing by three scores or more in eight of their nine losses in their 0-9 Pac-12 campaign)."

[fullfan]

Hope this does not impact Derrick Graham's commitment!  Coach B said earlier there might be one change in the staff due to guys having so many connections.  If the Shannon deal turns true maybe it will be the only change.

That ain't good. Maybe he is just better suited for a position coach.

Also, that Cal program isn't in a good spot.

Yeah, no thanks. 

I'd expect someone with ties to Robb Smith more than Bielema.  This guy is a Midwest/west coast guy.  Has no ties to the south, much less Florida.  It's kind of dumb to even suggest it.  Doesn't surprise me coaching search folks did though.

[WilsonHog]

If he isn't good enough to coach for Cal, then he damn sure isn't good enough for Arkansas.

I have no clue who our next linebackers coach might be; however, with the hires of Robb Smith, Rory Segrest, and Clay Jennings, and the body of work they put together this season, I feel comfortable Bret is going to hire a very good coach.

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Buh probably would have been here had he not been named DC at Cal.

This was my understanding. However, CBB is big on fit. Buh fit with Ash and Partridge.

Does he fit with Smith, Segrest and Jennings

Oh I do too.  I just don't think Buh would be an option.

With Shannon's 400k and his 50k buyout. I am also sure we can find someone qualified.

I would lean more towards it being someone with ties to Smith.

One out of the box idea would be to move Smith to LB and promote Aaron Henry from GA to DB coach.  He played for Bielema, has been here as a GA so knows the system, is young, and from South Florida.  Wouldn't be my top choice but would tick some of the boxes.

I agree, I think this will be more a Smith hire than a Bielema hire.

Get Greg schiano to coach lb's

AMEN!!!

However, I still expect some people on Hogville to act like a bunch of ignorant morons like they did when Robb Smith and Rory were hired.

[Dominicanhog]

my bet is on CBB having 2 or 3 in his pocket.. wouldn't doubt there has already been contact.. he said a couple weeks ago that he thought the staff would stay together except  for one ... that someone had ton's of contacts, Randy...... 

I also think there's a chance the person will be here when the recruits arrive in January..

completely agree. i saw the buh name on a couple of different sites also, couldn't help but look him up. not impressed with what i saw on the surface.

yes CBB has earned plenty of hiring cred as far as i'm concerned.

[MS_HogFan]

The one thing CBB has proved is that he can hire good assistants.

Thanks coach Shannon for the two years.

[ricepig]

With Shannon's 400k and his 50k buyout. I am also sure we can find someone qualified.

I wonder how they will handle this, $100,000 today, $50,000 tomorrow. I guess Florida could forfeit their next home game to us, in about 2025..........

[OneTuskOverTheLine™]

Has only coached LBers once and that was back in 94 at Nichols State.

[ricepig]

I'm guessing Bret has known about this for awhile. These guys get paid major bucks, but it's like the little boy and the dam, you plug one leak, and another pops up over there. It sure was nice to enjoy that victory for a day, lol.

[HogFanJWill26]

Off to Flordia, same position
