re: Who is the worst LSU coach (in big sports) over the last 50 years?

The answer is Curley Hallman. However, college football was not the “college football” it is now. Head coaches weren’t paid millions and not every game was on TV.

In the modern era, it is still absurd to not give Brian Kelly some hate. And here’s why:
Hallman’s salary at LSU 1991-1994 is around $85,000 - $90,000 dollars. Adjust for today’s money that’s closer to $195,000-$200,000. (LA Tech type money). Kelly’s salary was roughly $10,000,000.00 in today’s money.

My feeble math shows that Kelly was paid 11,000% PERCENT (appx 5,000% PERCENT using today’s money) more than Hallman!

So Kelly had to have won 5,000 percent more than what Hallman did. I’d venture it was less than 100%. It couldn’t be mathematically speaking.
Therefore on paper, Kelly is the correct answer for pissing away money and being the biggest flop in today’s “college football” despite Hallman clearly being the worst coach.
