CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -Miami athletic director Kirby Hocutt says “better days are ahead” for the Hurricanes, and that his decision to fire Randy Shannon was far from easy.
Hocutt spoke Sunday with players about the decision, and was emotional in a 20-minute news conference to discuss what happens next for the Hurricanes. He fired Shannon after Miami finished a 7-5 regular season with an overtime loss to South Florida on Saturday night, but that wasn’t necessarily the final straw.
Hocutt says the decision “was not made on 60 minutes of football.”
Shannon went 28-22 in his four years.
Offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is the interim head coach. No assistant coaches were fired and Hocutt says all have committed to stay through the bowl game.
