- Though he polled relatively few votes in his 1974 campaign for governor of Arkansas against David Pryor, Coon was part of the persistent organization which attempted to establish a two-party system in the heavily Democratic state.
Before his political career, Coon was president of the Arkansas Junior Chamber.
An original supporter of reformer Governor Winthrop Rockefeller, Coon later worked in the early Ronald W. Reagan campaigns in Arkansas.
In his later years, Coon became a licensed psychologist, professor, and motivational speaker.
Coon once joked that he was "so honest that I might appear to be naive."
