SAN ANTONIO — UTSA head football coach Larry Coker will make appearances at local H-E-B Plus! stores each of the next two Saturday mornings. The community is invited to meet the architect of the city’s only NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision program. UTSA merchandise will be available for purchase and Coker also will sign autographs.
From 10 a.m.-noon this Saturday, Coker will appear at the H-E-B Plus! located at 1150 Northwest Loop 1604 (southwest corner of Blanco Road). Next Saturday, Oct. 10, he will be at the H-E-B Plus! located at 6818 South Zarzamora, also from 10 a.m.-noon.
Coker was hired on March 6 as the school’s first-ever head football coach. A two-time National Coach of the Year, he is the former head coach at the University of Miami (Fla.), where he compiled a 60-15 record (.800 winning percentage), led the Hurricanes to the 2001 National Championship and won three Big East Championships in six seasons.
A 28-year coaching veteran at the collegiate level, Coker has served on staffs at five different schools — Miami, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Tulsa. A native of Okemah, Okla., Coker was a three-year letterwinner at Northeastern (Okla.) State University, where he received his bachelor’s degree in history in 1970 and a master’s in guidance counseling and physical education in 1973.
