I remember the Shannon stories came out when he got the job. Bottom line: he's been through some shit. I think he has a brother or half-brother who frequently steals his identity, too, and rings up credit card debt on him every once in a while. But he won't press charges. He's quitely the kind of guy that a lot of college coaches proclaim themselves to be: someone who's willing to give guys from a tough background a chance to make something of themselves. But unlike a guy like Rich Rod, who is only interested in you if you produce on the field and don't do anything too stupid, Shannon actually holds them accountable and expects them to be decent human beings, or you're gone. Never questioned the guy's intentions or morals, I just thought he wasn't going to make it as a coach. Looks like he just needed an OC.
