It was exactly one year ago today that Viacom executives decided to make a change in the leadership of Bellator MMA and they named Scott Coker as the new President of the company.
Since Coker became the President, Bellator has eliminated the tournament format, reduced the amount of shows they do yearly, and made significant signings such as Phil Davis.
With Coker being on the job for one year, how do MMA fans grade the performance of Coker?
@Jason_Floyd B+/A-

@Jason_Floyd He’s got things above water when they were well below the line. 2016 will be the year to really judge things IMO.

@Jason_Floyd I’ll give him a B. Made some questionable cuts in terms of the roster, but signed some great guys like Davis, Lawrence, Georgi — James Lynch (@LynchOnSports) June 18, 2015
@Jason_Floyd Product looks cleaner on television as well and most of the cards have been solid. — James Lynch (@LynchOnSports) June 18, 2015
@Jason_Floyd His presence, not being hated like Bjorn was big, grade for what he’s actually done? C.

@Jason_Floyd B+ overall, he has made some questionable decisions but some really good ones like signing Phil Davis and Guillard.

@Jason_Floyd C-, he treats champions as second class citizens. — Aaron (@aaronlnicholson) June 18, 2015
@Jason_Floyd Idk about a letter but has anyone in Bellator actually said they miss Bjorn? If those inside are happy, good enough for me — Chris McCann (@chrismccann924) June 18, 2015
@Jason_Floyd so far is say a B, some odd decisions, but seems like he has a vision for the future.

@Jason_Floyd Pico, Ruth and Davis signings are what gets him a C instead of a low D imo.

@Jason_Floyd I’m giving him a C. Average grade for average work — Brandon Cuttino (@BCuttinoTSMMA) June 18, 2015
@Jason_Floyd b better den da other guy — Victor M. Morales (@superufc) June 18, 2015
How do you grade the performance of Coker at this time and what would you like to see Bellator accomplish over the next year to improve the product?
