Lane Kiffin (3) at both Tennessee and USC. When: 2009 at Tennessee, 2010-Sunday at USC. Why: Deserter in Knoxville; inept in Los Angeles; unlikeable at both. Was it an obvious mistake beforehand? For sure the second time, and a dicey fit the first time. Kiffin actually provided a brief blip of sunshine with the Volunteers, leading them to their only winning season since 2007. But at 7-6, he was barely worth all the headaches he caused – and then he fled to USC and really ticked off the Big Orange faithful. The Trojans' 2012 flop from No. 1 to 7-6 was among the worst in recent memory.
Derek Dooley (4) at Tennessee. When: 2010-12. Why: Gene pool didn't carry much weight come kickoff. Was it an obvious mistake beforehand? To everyone outside the Volunteer State. Dooley went 4-8 the previous year at Louisiana Tech and had a 17-20 record overall there. At Tennessee, he went 0-15 against ranked opponents; gave up 40 or more points nine times; and lost to perennial whipping boys Vanderbilt and Kentucky – the latter of which played a wide receiver at quarterback all game.

But I thought everyone thought we hired the right guy? I read countless threads on here about how Alabama fans were telling people here how we found the right guy, Saban thought it was great, Georgia was mad we got him, LSU was mad, etc.

Hilarious so many here bought that load of crap.

Don't worry guys, hopefully in 3-4 years we'll make another list of "Best Coaching Hires" with CBJ.

Yep I know hindsight is 20/20 and I was actually excited about both hires but man....those were two horrible hires.

Yet another feather in Hammys cap. I hope it makes his resume.

Here's to hoping third time's the charm.

I was confused by the Kiffin hire but I sorta convinced myself that it might work.

I thought the Dooley hire was UT basically giving up. For the life of me I couldn't understand why so many were excited over him, other than it was delusion.

The only people excited about the Dooley hire were those who thought we'd hired Vince. Then we all Googled Derek and bewilderment set in.
