CORAL GABLES, Fla., May 12 (UPI) -- The University of Miami announced Wednesday that Randy Shannon has signed a four-year contract to coach the school's football team.
Shannon, 44, has coached the Hurricanes for three seasons, compiling a record of 21-17. Miami has played in a bowl game at the end of each of the last two campaigns, losing both contests.
Miami won three games against teams in the Top 25 to open last season and finished with a 9-4 record.
"There is no other place I'd rather be than coaching Hurricanes football," Shannon said. "I'm excited about the momentum we continue to build and our strong recruiting classes."
The 2010 season will be Shannon's 17th on the Miami football staff. He was defensive coordinator for six seasons, linebacker coach for five seasons and defensive line coach and graduate assistant for a season each.
