ACor58 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Shocking. 846906[/snapback] I wasn't as shocked with the firing as I was with the timing. My guess is that the U already has a coach in their sights and wants to move at him sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I have mixed emotions about this. Coker is a classy guy and deserves a better fate. On the other hand, I am sure it has been tough for his family with all of the abuse he has taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tux of Borg Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Worst kept secret of the year. Coker won't be out of coaching long. As for Miami, I see them going after Greg Schiano of Rutgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 I have mixed emotions about this. Coker is a classy guy and deserves a better fate. 846912[/snapback] He DESERVES to be fired. He should have done the CLASSY thing and stepped down after last season, when his bad recruiting, inability to motivate or be creative began to show. Instead, he axed some assistants to save his job. I knew he sucked, but I thought he'd be a stand-up guy too, until then. But instead he hung around for another year, hired some awful assistants and delayed quality recruiting for another year. You know you are a bad coach when you inherit the premier program in college football, in the best recruiting area in the country, and by the time your recruits take over the program is .500. Pathetic. I will not miss that basset hound looking doofus one bit. I'd love to see them hire Kragthorpe. He'd be the best hire the U has had since Jimmy Johnson.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Interesting one of the guys mentioned as a possbiler replacement is Tulsa coach Steve Kragthorpe.

obie_wan Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Looks like Rutgers coach is the lead guy. Hope you enjoyed chopping wood this season Ed. 847187[/snapback] For Schiano to take the Miami job would be a step backward. Miami is not a plum job. They have horrible facilities, no on-campus stadium. They play in the decrepit orange bowl. Many of the coaches they let go or wiht ties to South Florida are now cherry picking the top talent from Miami under the Hurricanes nose Schiano has better facitlities at Rutgers and is the only major college football program in the NY area. Not to mention he is treated like a god for bringing back football to NYC. NO way he goes back to Miami. The guy that could change the direction in a hurry is Spurrier. they should break the bank to get the BAll Coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be the best hire the U has had since Jimmy Johnson. 847076[/snapback] If you do not think that he is a classy guy, watch the clip of his press conference on ESPN.com. By the way, one of the guys he hired was Rich Olson who was a UM offensive coordinator when the Canes won one of their national championships in the early 90's. As for recruiting, one thing that Coker did was save the recruiting class when Davis left the Canes in a lurch about a week before national signing day. That is one reason Davis had no chance of being re-hired. It is true that we lost some recruits that we should have had the past couple of years, and I disagree with the firing of Art Kehoe last year. Nevertheless, if Coker is one thing, he is a classy guy. Another thing to keep in mind is that the Canes/Coker lost several players to the NFL. It is tough to rebound when many of your stars leave early for the NFL.

Chilly Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Thats the first time I've heard someone claim that Coker is classy. Yeah, he was real classy, only suspending his players for a game against Duke after the FIU game earlier this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddick was suspended indefinitely and only returned recently. [How many games did the Bills suspend Whitner?] Further, if you really knew about Coker, you would know that he even suspended the starting RB for missing study hall. Ryan Moore (the Canes best receiver was suspended for the bowl game last year and most of this season). How many LSU players were suspended for swinging helmets at Canes players' heads after the Peach Bowl last year (even though at least one player had to go to the hospital)?
