Larry Coker recruiting tomorrow at 6am

by **Pony in SA** » Mon Dec 02, 2013 12:29 am

Coker on Sports Sunday Ch. 4 tonight talking about UTSA's year and he likes being in Texas to recruit with all the good Texas high school programs, then tells the local sports anchor "recruiting is everything, in fact I'm on plane tomorrow at 6 am" to recruit.

I'm not advocating Coker, firing June, etc as that is for others to decide. But this is what we need from our program to be successful going forward. Emphasis on recruiting best kids we can get...

This post needs to be a sticky - I'd love to come back to it shoud UTSA have a breakout year. Recruiting is the lifeblood of any cfb program and Coker gets it.

I actually think with the right staff - Coker would be a good move for us. Not sexy. But solid. I'd love to see SMU build a program through winning some recruiting battles with the big boys whle establishing ourselves as the best non-P5 program in the state.

Now that is a head coach that is recruiting.

SMU has a 73 year old coach that is all over the country recruiting :mrgreen:

I think Coker would be a great hire actually.

Coker does seem to be good at both coaching and recruiting.

I'm on board with Coker and Franchione. Pick one and move forward.

Coker and Fran...two guys we could have hired in 2008 for far less than we paid June.

Add in the fact that Cutcliffe (another guy we could have hired) is taking Duke to the ACC championship game, and it's clear just how awesome it is to be an SMU fan these days.

I would love to have Larry Coker. Preferably several years ago, but he just seems to get it.

Think about it, with Brown and Coker, we would have two national championship head coaches

I wonder how much Coker is making? I guess it's public info.

It looks like he is making about $350K.

We could triple his salary (don't think we'd have to but we could), and still leave money to bring most of his staff and pay them pretty well for what we are paying JJ alone right now to not do his job. Get his agent on the damned phone already!

I was thinking bump him to $500K+ and as you say it would leave a nice chunk for his staff....and all for less than the cost of JJ.

Bump his base salary to 750K with incentives that could make it as much as 1.25M.
