Holtz is rated the worst college to pro coach ever! There was a TV special on the 10 worst and he took the cake by a mile. He made the Jets players learn a fight song and sing it in the locker room!

Bud Wilkenson after huge success at Oklahoma was also a terrible NFL coach.

This is kind of off topic I guess.
