Larry Coker was hired by the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2009 to build its new Roadrunners football program from scratch. He previously won a national championship at the University of Miami in 2001. Following a practice season in 2010, UTSA set an NCAA startup attendance record when 56,743 fans filled the Alamodome on Sept. 3, 2011.
In his second season, he guided the team to an 8–4 record in the WAC. UTSA joined Conference USA in 2013 and finished 7–5. Coker retired in 2016 after compiling 26 wins at UTSA and an overall career record of 86–47 with four bowl appearances.
James Feigen is a highly accomplished swimmer whose career spans elite high school, collegiate and international competition. At Winston Churchill High School, he earned multiple UIL 5A state medals and set national records in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle.
At the University of Texas, he won 18 Big 12 gold medals, 24 NCAA All-American honors and three NCAA championships. As a member of the USA National Team (2009–2016), Feigen won Olympic silver in the 4×100-meter freestyle relay at the 2012 London Games and gold in the same event at the 2016 Rio Games.
