Dooley/ Kiiffin both make the Top 10 Worst Coaches of the BCS era

Terrible list. Zook recruited a national champion and Gene Chizik won the trophy. No way were those hires worse than Dooley. Dooley was the worst hire of any major program that I can ever recall. No one hires a guy who fails miserably at a lower level to come up to the top level and actually expects them to succeed. It was such a stupid decision. It's on Hamilton for making the hire, the boosters for supporting the hire, and the many fans who thought the guy should be given alot of time to prove what was obvious from the get-go. They should all be ashamed.

I hate to be this guy..... but anyone who acts like they weren't excited about the Kiffin hire is only lying to themselves.

It was an awful hire, but I'll be the first to admit I didn't think that at the time.

Many also thought he was a bada$$ when in reality he was really a complete idiot. It took him leaving for his dream job for some to realize that.

I'm kinda like Tennessee and the civil war on this. Last one to get on board and the first one to realize it was over.

Every word above is absolutely true; Dooley makes Zook look like Vince Lombardi.

I hated the hire. However, I hated him picking up in the middle of the night and leaving even more. Now I just hate him.

Wrong. Guy was a failure in the NFL and walked into a loaded USC program. I never thought Fulmer should have been fired at that point so no I was disgusted at the Kiffin hire.

List is missing Larry Coker.

For the same reason chizik can't be on the list, Coker can't be on the list.

If we are talking "worst of all time", guys who won national championships can't be "the worst"

Coker took Miami to multiple bcs bowl for crying out loud.

NFL talent all across the board, I could have had the same results.

Disagree. The culprits were his replacements but there's another thread for that discussion. Either way, Coach Jones is working his butt off to fix the errors.

I am extremely happy with Jones. However keeping Fulmer would have provided stability, no violations and more winning seasons until we landed Jones.
