Houston, TX - Charles Coe had no time to waste when Texas Southern interim football coach Kevin Ramsey hired him as offensive coordinator in early May.Coe had to devise an offensive plan without the benefit of being able to implement it during spring practice. He and Ramsey had to put their heads together to fill out the remainder of the offensive coaching staff. On top of that, he had roughly three months to get it all done.
Fortunately for Coe, his other marching orders were simple. "From day one, (Ramsey) instructed me that we want to run the football," said Coe, who has more than 30 years of coaching experience at the high school, college and professional levels. "We've got some horses, and we want to run them."
But the Tigers don't have just any horses; they probably have the best running back stable in the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
