while i am not the biggest Fran fan around, I can at least see how he would be a good fit here. How in the world could we even interview Coker? Talk about starting from scratch with a guy who would not have a staff, no real or extensive recruiting track record in Texas and an all around dud of a personality.
Just hire Fran and get on with it. He has the contacts and knows how to build a mid major. He would be a light years better choice than Coker.
