Up and coming coaches who didn't pan out

The disdain for Paul Chryst got me thinking about some of the up and coming coaches who quickly fell out of flavor. It seems, more often than not, that the craze is often not warranted. What other coaches were you big on until things fell apart?

Not to say he didn't pan out, but Kirk Ferentz was a very hot name for every opening a few years ago and that has completely cooled off. I haven't heard him mentioned for a job in a few years.

Al Golden was getting some pretty good hype going while at Temple, but has been average at Miami.

If by "pan out" you mean making the transition from assistant to head coach then Kliff Kingsbury is a great example. The amount of hype generated by him we were left thinking national championships within a couple of years. The jury is still out on Sumlin. I personally think Gene Chizik is a fraud who has profited off of other coaches players. Larry Fedora has fallen off the face of the Earth. Bo Pelini was an ok coach. You knew what you were getting out him. In the days of high powered offenses he was never going to be a 12-1/11-2 coach. 9 wins was what you'd expect out of him. I think Jim Mora Jr. is overhyped & and IMO he's in the easiest conference to win. Watching PAC-12 football is literally watching glorified 2 hand touch. Tuberville does not fit the criteria. Coaching took a toll on his family and he in a way kinda gave up to save his family. His wife was sleeping with other men at their condo on 30-A outside Sandestin. He's only gonna go after low pressure coaching positions.

Petrino and Pelini came close, but both flamed out before they could achieve greatness.
Takes a lot of self-discipline (Saban) and/or remaining grounded (Miles) to last in this business, no matter how good you may seem at it.
