The Florida State football coaching staff picked up an impressive offseason addition Saturday, as the school officially announced Randy Shannon has been named co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach.

In this video discussion, Warchant managing editor Ira Schoffel outlines several of the reasons why this is such a positive move for the Seminoles -- everything from Shannon's ability to recruit South Florida to the relationships he has developed with FSU's other coaches to his track record in player development.

Schoffel also says it shows a commitment from the FSU administration considering Shannon, who served as a senior defensive analyst with the 'Noles this past season, had similar opportunities with other programs.
