Not sure Coker is the right guy but he does have an impressive record.
Wins: 59
Losses: 15
Coker, 58, won more games in his first six seasons than any
other Hurricanes coach except Dennis Erickson, and he has won
more games since 2001 than all but five Division I-A coaches.
Coker's 59-15 record is a winning percentage of nearly 80 percent.
When fired by Miami Coker had three years remaining on
a contract that pays him nearly $2 million annually, and the
school will owe him between $2.4 million and $3 million in a buyout.
