UTSA better hope he hires some good assistants, that know how to recruit. Because he sucks at it. Decent X's and O's coach, but terrible recruiter.

Not So Fast

"Officials are saying that reports the University of Texas-San Antonio has hired former University of Miami coach Larry Coker are premature. That means that Northwest Missouri State University coach Mel Tjeerdsma is still in the running for the head coach post.

A San Antonio television station News 4 WOAI is reporting that the UTSA has chosen Coker to start the Roadrunners football program. News 4 reporter Don Harris quoted unnamed sources "close to the process." However, the school's sports information department is saying that no decision has been made.

Kyle Stephens, Sports Information Director for UTSA, said a San Antonio newspaper contacted Coker, who said he had not been contacted by the school."
