Postman, you may have to re-consult with your sources. That, and you seem to be contridicting youself. You say Coker is a solid coach, but not the best recruiter. Miami has had somewhere in the range of 35 player drafted over the last 4 years. Find another school that has that many drafted over the same time period. So, obviously, he can bring the players in, he just can't get them to win. That appears to be a coaching issue. I think if you were as tied in to what the locals are saying, you must be hearing from a very small portion of the people. How many planes were there flying over the stadium at the Houston game? How many empty seats were there at the UNC game?
Coker was given the opportunity to save his job last year by firing most of his support staff. He did that, still can't win, and has nobody to blame but himself. I am willing to bet he has his resume updated.
