Miami fires Larry Coker
CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Larry Coker won nearly 80 percent of his games at Miami, got players to graduate, was revered for his classy manner and led the Hurricanes to a national championship.
Despite all that, even he acknowledged Miami needed to make a change.
Coker’s tumultuous and disappointing season got its predictable ending Friday, when he was fired after six years leading the Hurricanes. The move came one day after Miami finished a 6-6 regular season by beating Boston College, snapping a four-game losing streak and becoming bowl-eligible.
