****. Why all the hate for Coker?
Took a lambo and was asleep at wheel.. turned it to 20+ years of irrelevance.. I think like most coaches after, he was more symptom but players also held hostage demanding internal hire.. good times all around

p.s. he actually was a pretty good assistant as OC/QBC
