Have you read the story about the new Miami Hurricanes head coach? I know...I know...stop the booing...the University might have done the best thing that has ever happened...
Randy Shannon is a man you should know about. Sports Illustrated did a story on him a couple of issues ago, and in perfect fashion, ESPN is now running a feature on this remarkable man.
In short, Shannon was born and raised in Liberty City a notoriously dangerous part of Miami. His father was murdered in Liberty City in the 1970s when the future Miami head coach was only three years old. Shannon's sister and two of his brothers died in the 1980s after contracting AIDS through drug use. Another of his brothers was arrested for stealing Shannon's identity.
The story is about how he got to where he is today; and the fact that he has brought a new attitude to the team who once came out for pre-game in fatigues. This year, they do not even have names on their uniforms; almost unheard of in college football.
