I have to say...Paul Dietzel leaving LSU for Army, and then leaving Army for South Carolina.

He did well at LSU including winning a national title, did nothing at Army, then won the ACC at South Carolina giving them their first conference championship and bowl appearance in 25 years. He largely tanked there just like he did at Army.

The problem is the college football world was changing at that time, and BK wasn't as willing to adapt as quickly as others.


No, the problem was BK got paid and completely checked out. He didn't care about LSU one bit and never tried to fit in with the people or the state

If there still is college football 25 years from now people will be wondering why in the hell did CU hire Deion. He had no connection to the school.

Zook at UF seemed like a very underwhelming hire.



Worse than Sumrall?
