Look who's back! Two years after being fired as the Miami (FL) football coach at the conclusion of the 2006 regular season, Larry Coker was introduced as the head coach of University of Texas- San Antionio. Unfortunately, I missed Sportscenter U that day on ESPNU because Comcast is a facist organization that denies me my basic civil rights and I (think) promotes and broadcasts child porn on one of its music channels, so I can neither cofirm nor deny whether or not Stu Scott led into the story with "Boo ya! Welcome back, Coker! Up your nose with a rubber hose, Hurricanes!" I'll check Youtube for that.
Anyway, I really like this hire. They are not actually starting the program until 2011, have a student body of around 28,000 people, and are located in a state that churns out plenty of division 1 prospects every year. He may not recruit talent enough to keep him in Miami, but he also always had winning seasons in a BCS conference. I think it's a pretty good chance he could recruit enough talent to win in whatever podunk conference they start out in. Plus, come on, admit it, you love the idea of a coach named "Coker" living just a few miles away from the Mexican border.
