Coker would be a pathetic hire for SMU at this point. Rice and Tulsa didnt want him last year, why would we? And you cannot tell me we waited all this time to hire Larry Freakin Coker from the unemployment line. ridiculous. Turner Gill would be 10 times the better hire, as would several other guys including Barnett. Please tell me this is not true.

Coker was a great coordinator, but he'd be an awful hire as a head man.
“When I first committed to SMU, I thought it would take a couple of years of building. But with these players coming in, we should make a run. We have a lot of heavy hitters. It could get real ugly for a lot of teams we play.”- Jalen Jones

nope, it was the move to the ACC that did that program in...just not ready to compete at that level.

so a NC on a resume would make you an awful hire as a head man?
If true, this is significant and unsual. This would be the only candidate to date (someone check my math on this) who acknowledged being interviewed and stated that it went well. All other potential candidates (who are still in the hunt) have not said a word.
Did Orsini want this out there to judge reaction? Is he softening the ground? Not to get the cart before the horse, but RR was stated to have visited with Mich and a deal was announced 48 hours later.

tough crap. We should be throwing big money at Gill before we hire an old retread like Larry Coker.

Some would call this a trend:
2001 Miami 12-0 7-0 1st W Rose Bowl † 1 1 2002 Miami 12-1 7-0 1st L Fiesta Bowl † 2 2 2003 Miami 11-2 6-1 1st W Orange Bowl † 5 5 Miami: 35-3 20-1 Miami Hurricanes (Atlantic Coast Conference) (2004 â€" 2006) 2004 Miami 9-3 5-3 W Peach Bowl 11 11 2005 Miami 9-3 6-2 L Peach Bowl 18 17 2006 Miami 7-6 3-5 W MPC Computers Bowl
A trend, sure. Someone we should not consider, no.
6 bowls in 6 years and one NatChamp? If we just through that line out without knowing the coach's name, how many schools would be all over that. This is still SMU we're talking about.
If Larry Coker is the pick then Biggin is now officially the Supreme Ruler because this is one of the worst hires that could ever be made. A Rice leftover.
