"I appreciate
everything that Jon has done for the Redbird football program," said
Johnson. "He has been a great asset and loyal ambassador to the
program for the last four years. I know that he will be successful
in whatever endeavor he undertakes."
Shields spent four seasons on the Redbird
coaching staff. During his tenure, Shields spent three seasons
coaching the outside linebacker position and in 2002 was coach for
the wide receivers. Shields came to Illinois State in 2000 after
spending one season as a graduate assistant at Duke.
