After a week of contract disputes, former head coach Larry Coker and UTSA have reached a buyout agreement but did the university lose more than just dollars?
On January 5, UTSA made the announcement that head football coach Larry Coker decided to "step down" from his duties with three years still remaining on his contract. The founding head coach built the university's football team from scratch in 2009, compiling a 26-32 overall record through five seasons of play.
About a month later, in an interview with Jerry Briggs of the San Antonio Express-News, Coker was asked directly if he felt like he was fired, and hinted strongly that he did not in fact step down but was rather let go.
