Would You Hire Larry Coker?
FanHouse — ... So why can't a coach who's managed to win a National Championship this very decade get even a sniff of opportunity? That's what Coker wants to know, since other than what amounts to a courtesy call from SMU, he's been a non-factor in pretty much every coaching search across this great nation. I mean, Al Golden won four games at Temple last year, and he was a serious candidate for UCLA. Why should West Virginia hire their version of Larry Coker when they could have the real deal? So sayeth Coker, ...
