Thank god for triple a. (assuming no spark) Options

Wellp ironically I was driving to my college to apply for my classes today and I decided to take some mechanic classes. Anyways while driving my car just lost all power. I tried to start the car and all I heard was the starter trying to start the engine and I heard the fuel pump engage as well. I get my car towed home in my garage pop the hood my intake stank of raw fuel as well did the spark plugs. Right off the bat I'm going to assume its the ignition coil since it probably hasnt been changed ever considering my cars sketchy past. Only proof of work done I got with it was a timing belt being done. The coil is only 35$ at Oreillys Im just stuck at home waiting for a ride with my friend when he gets off work.

Ive read numerous threads on here today that have sounded EXACTLY like what happened to me today so I'm dead set on the ignition coil as my first move.

One level headed the other well filled with panic like I was before using search lol

Anyways does anyone have any other theories just in case this doesn't solve my problem?

ignition coil placement wont cause a problem with compression, if your timing belt is ok and your starter is engaging the flywheel you may have a more serious problem.... the engine is free spinning from the you tube clip you provided.

have you checked your oil for antifreeze, if you blew a headgasket badly enough that its blowing compression from 3 or more cylinders it could free spin like that, when the engine died on you while moving was there alot of smoke?
also if your timing belt skipped from bad belt teeth it could free spin like that.
this is a reach but if your last tune up the spark plugs were only put in hand tight rather then torqued they may have loosened enough to leak compression

i would say find your compression problem first then worry about spark timing
