It's early to say it's Paul Mainieri, who inspired the OP. But it is ironic that Paul Dietzel also went to South Carolina and stunk it up.

Other Candidates are:

Gerry Dinardo, who went 8-27 @ Indiana in 3 seasons after taking over for Cam Cameron

Trent Johnson seems to be getting worse with every stop.

Press Maravich wasn't good at LSU, but he was horrendous at App State going 12-51 over 2 1/2 seasons.


Dinardo and Mainieri didn't really "leave" on their own. They were told to leave. Johnson left on his own. But that was essentially to get out before he was told to leave.

Dietzel is the answer here. He left a championship program to go coach a declining legacy in Army. In the process, he tanked what could have been a tremendous career

The OP revised his statement to remove the "leave on their own" criteria.

I agree, I was just giving a few of the others for consideration.

He did leave Army with a winning record, though it was a declining record. His tenure at South Carolina was abysmal, though.
