It may be the height of the hurricane season, but there is a firestorm raging in South Florida over Miami football coach Larry Coker.
Coker has few remaining allies after a 31-7 loss at Louisville Saturday dropped Miami’s record to 1-2 for the first time since 1997 and knocked it out of the national polls for the first time since ’99. Despite winning a national title as a rookie coach in 2001 and coming within a questionable penalty of another one the next year, Coker is seen as a guy who won with Butch Davis’ players and is now presiding over the gradual erosion of the program.
