Larry Porter Biography

Larry Porter is one of the most popular and richest Head Coach who was born on April 28, 1972 in Jackson, Jackson, United States. Larry Porter (born April 28, 1972) is a former head coach of the Memphis Tigers football team and current tight ends coach at the Auburn University. Porter was named the new head football coach at the University of Memphis on November 29, 2009 replacing Tommy West. A former running back for the school when it was known as Memphis State University, Porter was formerly an assistant head coach, chief recruiter, and running backs coach at Louisiana State University under Les Miles. On November 27, 2011, Porter was fired after completing a 2–10 season with only having won three games during his two-year tenure.

In 2002, Porter was hired by Oklahoma State coach Les Miles as Running Backs coach.

In 2004, Vernand Morency earned second-team All-Big 12 honors after rushing for 1,474 yards, which ranked eighth in the nation, and 12 touchdowns.

LSU’s rushing offense ranked fourth in the SEC, while the 21 rushing touchdowns was the second-highest total in the league.

As LSU’s running backs coach, Porter has helped developed some of the finest players at that position in LSU’s history. From 2005–08, LSU produced a 1,000-yard rusher twice – Jacob Hester 1,103 yards in 2007 and Charles Scott 1,174 yards in 2008 – as well as having two players (Hester and Joseph Addai) selected in the NFL Draft.

Porter then spent three years at Arkansas State, where he coached Jonathan Adams to back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Adams rushed for 1,004 yards and six touchdowns in 2000 and followed that with another 1,004 yards and five scores in 2001. Under Porter’s tutelage, Adams capped his career as the second- leading rusher in Arkansas State history.
