I think Miami (of Florida) is a classic case of a school that would have a better reputation as a university if it dropped football. Academically, it's pretty solid. But the antics of the fans and the history of corruption surrounding the team make the school look bad.

Actually Miami as a university has a pretty good reputation outside of sports. The antics of the fans don’t at all represent the actual alumni base. Most die hard Miami fans are similar to the Walmart Wolverine base, they never went and probably couldn’t get in. It’s funny how scUM, Miami and Notre Dame fans are all very similar. But those that actually attended the school tend to be more reasonable.

Never Forget 31-0
Miami coach Larry Coker has agreed to a new five-year contract that will take him through the 2009 season, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad.

Coker had three years remaining on his previous deal but will receive an immediate increase in pay that puts him among the highest-paid coaches in the ACC, according to the source.

Coker is 44-6 in four seasons at Miami, leading the Hurricanes to a national championship in 2001 and the national championship game in 2002. Coker's winning percentage of .880 is fifth-best among coaches in their first 50 games. The Hurricanes open their season at Florida State on Sept. 5.

How in the world does this guy get a new deal when in reality he has not been able to win anything with HIS recruits?

Didn't you realize everything that has happened to them since the Fiesta Bowl is a direct result of Terry Porter's call? His recruits would be doing much better had he made the "correct" call. :nerd:

Coaches need to have the 5-year deal in order to tell recruits they'll be the head coach for the kids' whole careers.

I'm also glad they extended him. I don't think he's a very good coach, but it's hard to dump a guy that's 44-6. I think I vaguely remember that first loss. :biggrin:

Each year he's lost 1 more game (0, 1, 2, 3). Last year's losing at N. Carolina, and at home to Clemson and Va. Tech, does not make all those loud-mouth ex-Canes happy about the program at the 'U'.

Do you mean the Christopher Lloyd or Jackie Coogan version?
