He has to be the worst coach to win a national title or be tied with Larry Coker


Larry Coker NEVER bottomed out the way Chiz did and he is doing a good job at UTSA.

Chiz is WAY worse. He has never done shite anywhere other than Auburn.

Solich was a year removed from playing in the BCS title game & was fired the year his team won 10 games.

Firing Jerry Baldwin cost us $2 Million due to some trumped up charge of not liking him because of his race.

From what I remember, Mangino was fired for being a meanie head.

Give me a break

Look at the state of KU football now. It is horrible. At least Mangino had them respectable.

Tell me what Leach did besides piss of Craig James by not playing his son.

And they trumped up some shite on Mangino because they couldn't fire him because he was fat.

Lloyd Carr by Michigan. They severely overreacted to that App State loss. Yes they needed to adapt to the times, but damn, you don't completely tear apart what made your program what it was/is because of one damn game.

Solich is the most egregious in my opinion


Not really. He was committed to one style of offense and that style was dinosaur that wasn't going to get them anywhere anymore. Granted, they shouldn't have followed him up with Callahan, but that's for another thread.

Texas Tech and Mike Leach was a bad situation, but I put that more on ESPN and the weak hearts of soccer moms and liberals.

Tommy Tate at McNeese.


Perennial Title contenders and we fire him cause he was sleeping with the cheerleaders. Now we are the suck.

Anyone who says Phil Fulmer is uninformed or stupid.
