TWO NEW COACHES ON 2008 STAFFRandy Shannon’s 2008 staff has two new assistant coaches – defensive

coordinator Bill Young and wide receivers coach Aubrey Hill.

Bill Young, Defensive Coordinator - Young, 61, is a 39-year coaching vet-eran, with 21 seasons as a defensive coordinator.

He has been a defensive coordinator at Tulsa, Ohio State, Oklahoma,Southern California and most recently at Kansas, where the Jayhawks finishedthe 2007 season 12-1 with a victory in the Orange Bowl over Virginia Tech witha defense that ranked 12th in the nation. Young also had a one-year stint in theNFL.

“Bill Young brings a wealth of coaching experience to our defense,” saidMiami head coach Randy Shannon. “I have followed and respected Bill’s careerfor a long time and his coaching philosophy meshes well with mine.”

Under Young’s guidance, the 2007 Kansas defense ranked fourth in scoringdefense 16.3 points per game), eighth in run defense (94.8 yards per game),49th in pass defense (222.5 yards per game) and ninth in pass efficiencydefense (105.3). It featured All-American cornerback Aqib Talib.

Young was defensive coordinator at Kansas for six seasons under MarkMangini. In 2006, Kansas finished third in the Big 12 and 28th in the nation inrushing defense (109.0 yards per game), as it held four opponents to under 70yards of rushing and limited all opponents to a fourth-down conversion rate ofless than 25 percent. In 2005, Young oversaw the development of a defensewhich finished the season as the top run-stopping unit in the Big 12 and eighthin the NCAA. In 2004, the KU defense led the Big 12 with 27 takeaways, includ-ing a league-best 19 interceptions. The defense allowed an average of 117.6rushing yards per game — the third-best single-season average in school his-tory at the time and the lowest since 1961. The biggest improvement in the over-all defense occurred on third downs, as the opposition converted just 29.9 per-cent of its chances — only two Big 12 teams in 2004 were more effective at forc-ing fourth down.

Young was defensive line coach with the Detroit Lions in 2001. Prior to hisstint in the NFL, he worked three seasons as defensive coordinator at SouthernCalifornia under Paul Hackett. While at USC in 1999, his defense led the nationin total takeaways and topped the conference in rushing defense and turnovermargin (third nationally). His USC defense in 1998 was No. 1 in the Pac-10 intotal defense, pass efficiency defense (third nationally) and scoring defense. Itwas also ranked second in the country in forced turnovers.

In addition to his three years at USC, his stints as defensive coordinatorcame at Tulsa in 1983-84, Ohio State from 1988-95 and Oklahoma in 1996-97.Much of Young’s coaching career (1980-95) was spent assisting former OhioState head coach John Cooper. Their association began in 1980 at Tulsa, whereYoung was hired as defensive line coach and was promoted to defensive coor-dinator three years later. He moved with Cooper to Arizona State, where he wasthe Sun Devils’ defensive line coach from 1985-87 before following Cooper in1988 to Ohio State, where he led the Buckeyes’ defense for eight seasonsbefore taking over the defense at Oklahoma, where he worked under JohnBlake.Young’s first two coaching assignments came at his alma mater,Oklahoma State, from 1976-78 and for one season as Iowa State’s defensivetackles coach in 1979.

During his 27 years in college coaching, Young has helped elevate 31 play-ers to the NFL, including seven players apiece during his stints at Ohio State,Arizona State and Tulsa, and five each while at Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.Among future NFL players he tutored are Dexter Manley (Oklahoma State), DanSaleumua and Trace Armstrong (Arizona State), Alonzo Spellman, DanWilkinson and Mike Vrabel (Ohio State), Barron Tanner and Kelly Gregg(Oklahoma), David McMillan and Charlton Keith (Kansas).Prior to his collegecoaching career, Young spent six seasons on the prep level at two high schoolsin Oklahoma. He played outside linebacker and defensive end at OklahomaState from 1965-67 and led the Cowboys in interceptions in 1965. He was anacademic All-Big Eight selection as a senior in 1967 and earned his bachelor’sdegree in education that year. He then went on to earn his master’s degree insecondary education at Central Oklahoma in 1971. He is married to LawanaYoung.

Aubrey Hill, Wide Receivers Coach – Hill, 35, played and coached inSteve Spurrier’s “Fun ’n Gun” offense at Florida. He was a standout receiver atFlorida from 1991-94 before moving into the coaching ranks.

“I have known Aubrey for many years and am thrilled he is coming home toMiami to coach for the Hurricanes,” said Miami head coach Randy Shannon.“He’s an excellent receivers coach and I look forward to watching him work withthe young receivers who will be on the team in the coming seasons.”

He spent the last three years on the Pittsburgh coaching staff, where hetutored first-team All-Big East performers with Greg Lee in 2005 and DerekKinder in 2006 and a freshman All-America in Oderick Turner in 2006.

In 2004 Hill coached at NCAA I-AA Elon (N.C.) University as receiverscoach. Prior to that he was the receivers coach at Duke for five seasons andalso served in a pair of NFL coaching internships.

As a player, Hill helped Florida to a four-year record of 43-10-1 (.806) andthree SEC championships. He totaled 86 receptions and 18 touchdowns duringhis career and caught a touchdown every 4.78 catches, the third best TD ratioin Gators history. He was a team captain as a senior in 1994.

Following his playing career, Hill served as a Florida graduate assistant from1996-98. In his first season as an assistant, Florida captured the national cham-pionship with a 12-1 mark, capped by a 52-20 victory over Florida State in theSugar Bowl. During his three years on the Florida staff, the Gators went a com-bined 32-5 (.865).

Hill earned his first full-time appointment at Duke, where he served asreceivers coach from 1999-2003. He was instrumental in the development ofScottie Montgomery, who finished his collegiate career ranked second in careerreceptions (171) and third in yardage (2,379) in Blue Devil annals. He supple-mented his collegiate experience with a pair of NFL internships, including stintswith the Washington Redskins (summer 2001) and Miami Dolphins (summer2002). Hill was involved with receivers and special teams in both internships.

Hill owns two degrees from Florida, including a bachelor’s degree in exer-cise and sport sciences and a master’s degree in leisure/sports management.Hill has a 16-year-old daughter, Destini.

Miami’s running backs Javarris James, Graig Cooper and ShawnbreyMcNeal was one of the youngest backfields in the country in 2007, and certain-ly one of the most talented. James was a sophomore, while Cooper and McNealwere true freshmen.

James is the younger cousin of former UM great and current NFL starEdgerrin James. As a true freshman in 2006, James led the team with 802 yardsrushing, which ranked second on the school’s all-time list for rushing yards by atrue freshman behind only Clinton Portis (838 yards in 1999). He ran for 582yards and four touchdowns in 2007.

Cooper, a true freshman from Memphis, led the team with 682 yards rush-ing, with a fine 5.5-yard per carry average. He had two 100-yard games, and inthe season opener vs. Marshall he had the best debut ever for a Miami runningback, gaining 116 yards on 12 carries (a 9.7-yard average).

McNeal, who played running back in only six games, came on late. In theWeek Seven game against Georgia Tech, he scored his first collegiate touch-down on a 39-yard run on a fourth-down play.

GETTIN’ TRICKY WITH ITMiami used its fair share of trick plays in 2007, and they led to some big

plays. Against Florida State, placekicker Francesco Zampogna threw a 26-yardtouchdown pass to tight end DajLeon Farr to put Miami up at FSU 24-23 in thethird quarter. One week before that against Georgia Tech, running back DerronThomas took a snap on a fake punt and rumbled 27 yards for a UM first downon 4th-and-5, leading to UM’s first touchdown against Georgia Tech.

HURRICANES AND BIG PLAYSMiami’s offense has proven over the years it can strike quickly, making the

big play. An “explosive play” is a run of 18-plus yards or a pass of 25-plus yards,and that is a key factor in the team’s success. Here’s a look at those big playsin 2007:

2008 Hurricanes Returning Starting Experience



10

Head Coach Randy ShannonIn 2005, Shannon’s aggressive 4-3 scheme led the nation most of the season in nearlyevery category and finished No. 1 in pass defense (152.17 ypg) and pass efficiency (89.48rating), fourth in total defense (270.08 ypg) and scoring defense (14.25 points), and 23rd inrun defense (117.92). He was named Defensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals.com.

In 2004, Shannon’s defense ranked ninth in the country in pass defense despite havingthree new starters in the secondary. The UM defenses in 2002 and 2003 led the nation infewest passing yards allowed, and the 2003 unit was fourth nationally in pass efficiencydefense (96.16 rating), while finishing second in the nation in total defense (257.5 ypg). The2003 Hurricanes also ranked among the national leaders in scoring defense (fourth, 15.1ppg).

His 2002 unit led the nation in passing yards allowed (119.7 ypg) and in pass efficiencydefense (83.91 rating), while finishing seventh in the nation in total defense (285.0 ypg), allof which was accomplished with an entirely new starting unit in the defensive secondary.

In 2001, Miami led the nation in turnover margin by forcing a school-record 27 interceptionsand 45 turnovers. Miami defenders allowed a national-best 9.4 points per game, led thenation in pass efficiency defense (75.60 rating), ranked second in pass defense (138.2 ypg)and was sixth in total defense (270.9 ypg). The 2001 Hurricanes allowed just 12 touch-downs (seven rushing, five passing) and scored seven touchdowns of their own. Hisdefenses have been ranked in the top 10 in turnover margin twice and led the nation in2001.

It’s no wonder Shannon has been successful as a coach. As a linebacker during the late1980s, he was a film room guru, studying hours and hours of tape to learn the offensivetendencies of the opponents he faced each Saturday on the football field. His commitmentto being a student of the game often paid huge dividends, such as on Sept. 5, 1987, in theOrange Bowl, when he returned an interception 41 yards for a touchdown in the Hurricanes’31-4 romp over the Florida Gators. But his studious approach to game preparation wasn’tlimited solely to the gridiron. Shannon was a true student-athlete, graduating with a degreein liberal arts. “It was about more than just the X’s and O’s,” Shannon said. “I wanted to growintellectually, and I knew that academics were a key to success.”

Many of Shannon’s players have gone on to star in the NFL. But it is not the superstar suc-cess his players have achieved as professional athletes of which Shannon is most proud.“I’m excited for them because they’ve earned their college degrees,” he says. “Football isyour life when you’re playing, but when it’s over and you sit down and realize that there areno more cheers from the crowds, you realize how special academics really are.”

The University of Miami, Shannon says, “is not a football factory. We’re an academic insti-tution that does a tremendous job in educating student-athletes and preparing them for lifeafter sports.” Eight members of the 2006 Miami Hurricanes football team, for example, werenamed to the Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Football Team, the highest in theleague.

Shannon is known for his quiet yet strong demeanor. He works with great intensity and ded-ication. His pride in his alma mater is always paramount. “Once you’re a part of theUniversity of Miami, you’ll always bleed orange and green.

Randy Shannon enters his second season at the helm ofthe University of Miami Hurricane program. In his first sea-son as head coach in 2007, Miami posted a 5-7 mark andfinished 2-6 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Shannon was named head football coach of the Universityof Miami on December 8, 2006. Shannon, 42, had servedas the team’s defensive coordinator for the last six sea-sons. He had coached top 10 defenses in five of those sixseasons.

A native of Miami, a former Hurricanes player and gradu-ate of the university, Shannon played on or was a coach

for three of the school’s five national championship teams. He played for the Hurricanesfrom 1985 to 1988 and had been an assistant coach for 13 seasons before being namedthe 20th head coach in school history.

“Randy Shannon is Miami — tough, disciplined, smart, caring, passionate, enthusiastic,and no-nonsense,” said University of Miami President Donna E. Shalala. “He has beenpreparing himself for a head coaching position his whole life and I am very happy that theopportunity came at the University of Miami, his alma mater.”

“In our national search, we spoke to a lot of people about coaches and to a number ofcoaches about their availability,” said UM athletic director Paul Dee. “As the search pro-gressed, it became very clear that Coach Shannon was the right person for this position.His history at the University of Miami as a student-athlete, a graduate assistant, an assis-tant coach and as a coordinator has prepared him extremely well to lead a program that hefully understands.”

In his six seasons as defensive coordinator, the Hurricanes had seven All-America players(and he tutored eight other All-Americans as a position coach). He coached 13 defensiveplayers who were selected in the first round of the NFL draft in the last six years. As a play-er, Shannon was a member of five teams that went to bowl games (including one as a red-shirt freshman). He has coached in 11 bowl games.

“This is my dream job. It always has been,” Shannon said. “This program is not at a stand-still. The program is not on a downslide. We are on an upward movement. As a coach, youwant a challenge. I want somebody to say that I can’t do it. If I hear ‘I can’t,’ I’m going toprove you wrong. Nobody can ever tell you that you cannot achieve what you want. That’swhat I believe in.

“I want to make sure everyone understands that we will get it done at the University ofMiami,” Shannon continued. “We’re not a program that’s going to stand still. You never staythe same in life. You always go up and down. You try to get better every year, every day,every week, every second.”

Shannon hails from the Liberty City section of Miami. He attended Norland High School andearned All-State and honorable mention All-American recognition from Street & Smith’s asa senior linebacker at Norland. He also lettered in basketball, averaging 19 points a game,and he competed in the triple jump on the track and field team.

As a player at Miami, Shannon was a four-year letterman at linebacker and the starter onthe 1987 national championship team. He received the Christopher Plumer Award for mostinspirational player as a senior in 1988. He was described by his coaches as “a coach onthe field.” Shannon concluded his career in 1988 when he ranked fourth on the team intackles, sacks and tackles for loss while leading the team in passes broken up and forcedfumbles.

An 11th-round draft choice of the Dallas Cowboys in 1989, he became the first rookie tostart at outside linebacker for Dallas since 1963. He was also a standout on special teams.Shannon played for the Cowboys for two seasons before going into coaching.

He was a graduate assistant in 1991 when the Hurricanes won their fourth national cham-pionship. In 1992 he became a full-time assistant coach working with the defensive line,and from 1993-97 he coached the team’s linebackers. He was a defensive assistant withthe Miami Dolphins in 1998 and 1999 before assuming the role of linebackers coach in2000.

He returned to his alma mater in 2001 as defensive coordinator. That year, the MiamiHurricanes won their fifth national championship and Shannon became the first UM coachto be named the winner of the Frank Broyles Award, presented annually to the nation’s topassistant coach.

Shannon has produced defenses that rank among the best in the history of the program.Despite a 7-6 record in 2006, the defense ranked seventh in the country in total defense(allowing only 255.5 yards per game), fourth in rushing defense (a team-record 67.9 yardsa game) and 13th in scoring defense (15.5).
