No doubt a short term hire, but to me the question is this: Where does Randy Shannon go to best position himself to get another coaching position? Is he better served by doing televison or better served by coaching with Coach Saban?
There is a really good reason for us to be all for this, beyond having a good LB coach next season. Next Januaryr when some school comes shopping in Tuscaloosa for a Defensive-minded Head Coach, have CRS as an option increases the chances of keeping Coach Kirby Smart. (indeed, it is easier to find a LB Coach than it is to find another Kirby Smart)
