I've never really heard any questions about Shannon as a DC, but it would explain him continuing to not get a job. The hiring of Sunseri did kind of hurt us, as Saban has hired away Lance Thompson to fill Sunseri's former role. Much as I like Wilcox, Sirmon, and Baggett, losing Thompson hurts more than any of them, I think. Fantastic coach and recruiter who apparently was pretty pissed that he was passed over for the DC job here. Heard some of the same things when he interviewed at Texas too. Mostly sounds like a one trick pony when it comes to defensive schemes, not very good at making adjustments, and was also said to have been a terrible interviewer or at least he was at the Texas interview. However as a DC his defense's were always ranked towards the top.
