I'll bet they let Randy Shannon take the reins for 3-4 years.

Good call, reportedly the term of the contract is 1 Million per annum, duration 4 years.
Edit - Canes board already has an Over/Under Thread on how long Shannon lives under the glare of the spotlight in Coral Gables.

What they can do to turn around the offense is what's gonna determine how long Shannon is there. Defense has been doing fine.

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.

He's like the Doogie Howser of football. He's probably gay too.

That's gotta be weird dynamic at the bowl game with Coker and Shannon. If Shannon was their guy why not just can Coker and name him coach mid season? Why the need for consultants and coaching search?
