Crawford: Petrino pitches Randy Shannon as assistant

According to Eric Crawford's column on wdrb.com, it looks like Bobby wants to bring Randy Shannon on board as an assistant. One would think he would be Defensive coordinator and maybe assistant head coach. It would be a tremendous hire.

Everyone should read his bio and make their own judgments, but Shannon came out of the Miami investigation clean as a whistle, with a sterling academic record, and a solid recruiting record. His personal story is beyond tragic and he seems to be the type of guy that Jurich would love to have around: strong leader, father figure, overcoming setbacks, etc..

Here is his wikipedia profile.
