SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Larry Coker, who built the Texas-San Antonio football program from scratch in 2009, is stepping down after five seasons.
The school announced the move Tuesday. Coker had a 26-32 record at UTSA, including 3-9 this past season.
Coker was considered a major hire for the fledgling program. He won a national title with Miami in 2001 but was fired there in 2006.
Coker took over at UTSA two years before it played its first game. When he took the job, the Roadrunners hadn’t yet signed a single player, had no football facilities or even a schedule for their first season. His best season with the Roadrunners was 8-4 in 2012.
In a statement, Coker called UTSA a "special place" was grateful for the chance to coach there.
