Shalala had been one of Shannon’s staunchest supporters before Saturday’s three-point loss to South Florida, and Herald beat reporter Manny Navarro tweeted that she was originally ready to give Shannon another year before that defeat.

Offensive coordinator Mark Whipple is the likely interim coach if Miami is to make a change.
Of course, that might still be in doubt: ESPN’s Bruce Feldman tweets that reports of a Shalala summit tonight are “false.” And Feldman is one of the college football world’s more reliable sources.
