Miami Bowling, Coker Walking
According to reports out of South Florida this morning, Larry Coker will officially be let go at a press conference later this morning.
The Miami Hurricanes beat Boston College last night to finish the season 6-6, and become bowl eligibile.
In a season marred by on and off the field incidents, Miami might have acted like the Hurricanes of old, except in one aspect -- winning games.
Now, they will be looking for a new head coach. Early rumors pointed towards South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, but the Ol' Ball Coach said that he will not be looking to leave South Carolina. With former coach Butch Davis already taking the head coaching job at North Carolina, the search will be wide open.
Coker, who began his career at Miami with 24 straight wins, had the 5th highest winning percentage among Division I-A coaches since 2001 when he took over the Hurricanes.
