He actually finished with a better winning percentage at UTSA than Mario had at FIU. Maybe he can get a job with Urban Meyer.
 
26-32 at a program he built but 0 bowl appearances. Ol' Slappy is another guy that'd have been better served career-wise longterm if he had only aspired to just be a coordinator at a big name college program or the NFL.

Depends. Job security for coords is much less than for HCs. He's 67 yrs old now. His contract with UTSA pays him ~500k for the next 3 years for doing nothing. Not a bad early retirement.

Coker did a nice job starting UTSA'S football program from scratch. Time to give someone else a chance. This would be a good job for Jim Leavitt, or even Art Briles's son.

Yeah, I was mainly thinking of relevance/prestige in his actual job though. Larry is just fine financially as he cashed in here. He's just not very respected nationally or even in Miami as a head coach. I guess at the end of the day he has a ring and that may offset having to live in San Antonio and in football oblivion to end his career.
 
all the same players who are ****ed about swasey fought to make this guy HC and started our decline.
