...the job Larry Coker has done at UT San Antonio is an equal accomplishment to what Al Golden did at Temple??? Hmmm.





Al Golden @ Temple:

Prior to his arrival:
2002 4-8
2003 1-11
2004 2-9
2005 0-11

Temple under Golden:
2006 1-11
2007 4-8
2008 5-7
2009 9-4 bowl game loss to UCLA
2010 8-4

Since Golden:
2011 9-4 bowl game win over Wyoming
2012 4-7
2013 2-10



Larry Coker @ UT San Antonio

Prior to his arrival:
* UTSA cancelled their football program in the 1960's.
* Larry Coker hired to restart a program that has not existed for 40+ years.

UTSA under Coker:
2011 4-6 (first year of existence - played a limited schedule)
2012 8-4
2013 7-5 (bowl eligible in their first year of eligibility - not selected for a bowl game tho)


Thoughts???

Ehh temple was known toilet bowl team with no history and synonymous with losing

Being from Texas there was a lot if excitement about UTSA getting a football program and Coker capitalized on it

BTW - When I was doing this, the one thing that stuck out at me was the drop off at Temple in year two after Golden left. To me that shows how good of a recruiter he is.
