Athletic director Kirby Hocutt made the call.
”We have made a decision to seek new leadership for our football program,” Hocutt said in a release. ”Our expectations are to compete for championships and return to the top of the college football world.”
Shannon received a four-year extension just before the start of the 2010 season. He was 28-22 in four seasons at Miami.
