Voted other - don't really know who, but I think it will be a Coordinator from the NFL.
Don't see any of the guys listed as getting the job.

How about Bernie Kosar? Once a 'Teh U' thug, always a 'Teh U' thug!  (FWIW, I don't think he'll get the job because he has no HC experience) |

Well at least if he's coaching it will keep him out of the broadcast booth, which would be doing us all a favor. I heard him do some commentary on one of the Browns pre-season games and he was absolutely awful. It sounded like they just grabbed some yahoo from the stands and gave him a microphone.

UM chooses Shannon as head football coach
The University of Miami has a new head football coach.
UM defensive coordinator Randy Shannon accepted the position Thursday, according to a well-placed university source.
An announcement by UM is scheduled for Friday.
Shannon, 40, a Miami native, becomes only the sixth black head coach in Division I football. He replaces Larry Coker, who was fired last month after six seasons.
Shannon graduated from Norland High and then UM in 1989. He was a member of the 1987 Hurricanes national championship team and an 11th-round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys in 1989. Shannon was a Miami Dolphins defensive assistant in 1998 and 1999 before becoming Miami's linebackers coach in 2000.
He returned to UM in 2001 as defensive coordinator, and became the first UM coach to win the Frank Broyles Award that year as the top assistant in college football. Shannon's defenses have been outstanding every season, including this one, in which UM (6-6) is ranked fifth in total defense, fourth in rushing defense and 12th in scoring defense. Shannon's son, Xavier Shannon, is an offensive lineman for Florida International University.
After practice Thursday, UM job candidate Mike Leach, head coach at Texas Tech, declined to speak with the media.

What a bunch of idiots!
How do you expect to fix a broken program by hiring from within? That makes no sense to me at all! They deserve everything they get. This was their chance to send a message that their program was going in the wrong direction and they weren't going to sit by and watch it happen any more. Instead they hire a Miami coach with less HC experience as the one before him. What are they hoping to accomplish?
