In my opinion I still despise Coker more than any other coach ever here before: politician Diaz, burnt out nepotistic Richt, Golden with his best buddy at dc....even more so than guys like donofrio, nix, baby Richt, and soon to be joining in Blake baker. Crazy since he won a nc and should have had 2, right?
The evidence is all in this thread and brings back terrible memories. A useless clown being gifted the greatest cfb roster of all time. And then riding that momentum to still have countless draft picks and pro bowlers and still, each year, record wise getting worse and worse and worse. The overall program development falling off a cliff. I remember getting so ****ed off when usc began their ascent at this time and were initially called the miami of the west coast.
To this day I can’t stand him: because with all the excuses of the bad administrators we’ve had and their awful coaching hiring acumen, this idiotic clown legitimately destroyed a dynasty. And he did it year by year as everything became worse.
He is as symbolic for the descent to mediocrity as any administrator before or since that time.
