The day I ran into Ol Clappy

Perspective on Coker:

One HORRIBLY biased call from winning TWO NC's back to back as HC ( and two undefeated seasons). Good OC. Good recruiter( ask Ken Dorsey).
Average HC. Not terrible. Would have been MUCH better off w/ him than with Shannon and definitely Golden.

The dumbest thing in sports is the argument that " he won with so and so's players". As a coach you still have to coach, prepare, game plan, etc. Did Jimmy win with Howards players? Did Erickson with win JJ's?

If its so easy why didn't Butch win with Butch's players?

Im not impartial. I met him a few times and liked his overall decent, seemingly honest nature. Yes, he fired coaches after the LSU debacle and maybe should have done what Mike Shula did and gone down with the ship but 90% of coaches do the same thing.

Not the best, but also certainly not deserving IMO of the scorn and ridicule he got.

luckiest man in coaching history and he left the program much worse off than when he left it

Was very telling that after Miami he couldn't get another power 5 job

Poor old Clappy, did well enough to stay the F out of the way in Year 1, but then got greedy after that. Yes, will always be down as the Corch who won us the Natty but his inability to evaluate talent and keep most of it local was his undoing. Did a decent job at UTSA when he really tried but alas, was over his head at the U.

all this, right here
