You can do it like this:

@coupon = mock_model(Coupon, :user= => nil, :user =>  
@current_user, :save => true)

That stubs both user= and user. I often create reusable "mock  
factories" in spec_helper.rb that take care of the normal methods for  
AR objects:

def mock_coupon(opts = {})
   mock_model(Coupon, {:user= => nil, :user => mock_user, :save =>  
true}.merge(opts))
end

Often I also stub the errors method there because it's called pretty  
often in controllers and views.
