After a short coaching stint with the Volunteers, he was off to the NFL where he started his time at the pro level in Indianapolis.
Over the years, he has worked with a plethora of NFL teams as an offensive assistant. Cooter has had multiple titles, including QBs coach, RBs coach, and offensive coordinator.
His latest tenure was with the Jacksonville Jaguars last year.
