Ex- Miami Hurricane Coach Larry Coker Hired by ESPNU
July 11, 2007
Former University of Miami coach Larry Coker has been hired by ESPNU to work this fall, at the network. ESPNU formally announced this on Thursday.Coker spent six seasons with Miami, going 60-15 and winning the 2001 national championship. He was fired last November, before Miami finished its 2006 campaign with a 7-6 record. You may remember all the beatings he took from players and fans throughout his last season at Miami. The signing of Coker to ESPNU will fire up all those blogs out there that wanted him fired from the team. And let me tell you: it will get ugly! Fanblog’s wrote an article 8 months ago explaining just how bad the Miami area wanted to see Coker go!
“The Fire Coker crowd took to the skies in force this weekend to call for the ousting of the Hurricanes head coach, hiring three planes to pull anti-Coker banners over the Orange Bowl during the Houston - Miami game. ”

Yes, I remember this game. There was an uproar here about it (I live in Miami.) I wonder how much they paid for the planes.
