Reporter #1: "Coach Shannon, you've been here at Florida for a few months. Talk about the process of becoming acclimated at a bigger school like Florida than Miami, which is in a more prestigious football conference."
The Legend: "It's a process..."
Reporter #2: "Coach Shannon, you've spent the majority of your football career as a former player, an assistant, and a coordinator for the Hurricanes. How would you compare that experience to the experience so far wearing the orange and blue of the Gators."
The Legend: "It's like anything..."
Reporter #1: "Coach Shannon, you've had a tremendous amount of experience coaching at programs like Miami and Arkansas, and your ability to recruit defensive talent from all across the country is important for this program. Have you had a chance to visit any 2016 prospects from across the region or in-State...???"
The Legend: "I've been FLYING AROUND to see recruits... They will be important FRESHMENS in 2016."
Reporter #3: "Miami has a prestigious history but hasn't won a National Championship in almost 15 years, whereas you come to a Gator program which has had more success in recent years winning two National Championships under Urban Meyer. How do you view the Gator brand versus the Hurricane brand...???"
The Legend: "It's like anything..."
Reporter #2: "Coach, how would assess the progress of the linebackers and the defense as a whole form the time you arrived through the Spring Game, and now as we enter Summer...???"
The Legend: "We're trying to get done the things that have to get done, so that when they're done, we won't have to do them anymore..."

Reporter #3: "Coach I noticed a small cast on your wrist- was that something you sustained while coordinating yesterday's defensive drills...?"
The Legend: "I'm just nicked..."
Reporter #1: "Coach, correct me if wrong I'm, but no practice is scheduled today- so why are you wearing a headset to this press conference...???"
The Legend: "...................."
