Since I'm long overdue to add some value here and because, of all the SmackJabber admins, I should obviously be the one responsible for college football content, I bring you my college football story of the day.
It appears that the University of Miami may not have intended to fire Randy Shannon on the sole basis of his 7-5 record in a season where the Canes began the season in the Top 25. As brought to my attention by the blog, SPORTSbyBROOKS, Warren Sapp, former Miami Hurricane and Tampa Bay Buccaneer under Jon Gruden, indicated in a recent radio interview that Gruden called Miami AD Kirby Hocutt before Shannon's firing to say that he was interested in the head coaching job.
Miami has since hired former Temple head coach Al Golden to replace Shannon. Offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is expected to serve as the interim coach for Miami's December 31 showdown with historic rival Notre Dame in the Hyundai Sun Bowl.
[SHAMELESS PLUG: Will Miami regain focus under its interim coach? Or will the distraction of an increasingly controversial coaching change leave the resurgent Irish with the edge in the Sun Bowl?
