I don't see how Coker was all that inept, he put together the HW tourny, he made SF viable, and an atlernative. It's ratings have been steadily improving, and have been making new stars, how much did you want them to do realistically as a large regional promotion competing with a super power in the UFC? I think Coker was doign rather well, considering.

The SF tournament was something he threw together three months ago. By the time that tournament started, he didn't even have a date or venue for the second set of first round fights and there's no way having the first round matches four months apart was something he actually planned. Also, he included a guy who at the time wasn't even cleared to fight in the states. That's not exactly capable.

Instead of capitalizing off the fact that Werdum beat one of the greatest heavyweights of all time by having him fight Overeem (who was down for the fight), he let him take a year off. That's not capable.

By the way, he let M-1 re-negotiate for the third time after Fedor lost and agreed to co-promote. What kind of businessman does that?

Bjorn Rebney exposed him for lying about the potential Eddie Alvarez v. Gilbert Melendez fight.

And as far as creating new stars, Overeem's fought once in three years for SF so I wouldn't give him credit for Overeem's status.

Diaz started building his fan base from his ultimate fighter days and it's not like Strikeforce's marketing team really did much to escalate it. More than anything it's the way he fights and the outlandish shit he says in interviews.

Hendo was a star long before Coker.

No one could pick Jacare out of a police line up.
