November 27, 200619 yr Coker seems like a great guy, very good coach and far too often, the coach gets the credit or in this case, the blame for the actions of his players. I know the argument would be, "he and his staff recruited them"....which they did but they are young men, young adults if you will and they must be responsible for their conduct, actions and respectful. Miami has long had a reputation, of less than stellar character players and perhaps the will to win, has been overlooked and perhaps the players themselves, must be held accountable. Too many instances have occurred over the years for the Hurricanes and growing up and being responsible, is as important, as winning football games....because this time, it cost a good man his job. Coker has no control of his players. W/ last years bowl brawl and the FL INT incedent this year, it is clear his players don't respect their coach, school, game, or themselves. You would never see teams coached by Joe Paterno, Pete Carroll, Jim Tressel, or any number of coaches, including Bobby Knight (I know, wrong sport), act like the Miami players have acted for many years. They have a thug mentallity at Miami. Until that changes, nothing else will. Good luck to the next coach, he's gonna need it.
November 27, 200619 yr Something tells me Coker's office was boxed up before last night's game. The release of Coker was more predictable than the ending of Titanic. What happened @ the end of Titanic?
November 27, 200619 yr Bottom line is this...Coker has not had the "U" in the title hunt since he did it with Butch Davis's players...He has no control and they have played horrible for two years....Get real 6-6 at a school that has their pick of players year in and year out........That is the reason he is gone...Is everyone not saying anything about the Spurrier to Miami rumor.......
