Worst College Football Coaching Hires of All Time

[MAD]

It’s that time of year where college football coaches are getting fired and hired.

Which coach would make the list of Top 5 worst hires of all time?

Nobody cares because it’s Kansas but Les Miles was pretty terrible.

South Carolina hiring Muschamp after all the good Spurrier did.

Mike Price for Alabama

Doesn’t it seem like our last coach could make the list? I don’t even like to say his name, he pisses me off more than any of our other hires.
That was a tough period dealing with him and Patricia at the same time.

I try and look at situations where the hire most people went “What?” And didn’t work out for coaches that didn’t even make it a game.

Ron Prince at K-State was terrible.

Houston Nutt was about to get fired at Arkansas and Ole Miss hired him anyways, then Nutt’s lawsuit against Ole Miss cost them Hugh Freeze

Charlie Weis was for Kansas than Miles. Weis set the program back a decade with his ludicrous recruiting strategy.

Lane Kiffin at Tennessee was bad, hiring Dooley right after had to be the worst 1, 2 gut punch off all time..

 

[Boston Vol]

Oh and Gerry Faust at Notre Dame

Curly Hallman-LSU
Derek Dooley-Tennessee
Ellis Johnson-Southern Miss

While Sumlin has faded, it’s even worse that Hamilton chose Dooley over Cut and Sumlin

Greg Robinson for Syracuse…dude took a above .500 program and went 10-37

 

[zjcvols]

Willie Taggart at Florida State deserved a mention
