For one not involving us I think LSU killed Will Muschamp's Florida in 2013. They never recovered from that loss after winning 11 games the year before.

You could make a better argument for the 2014 LSU-Florida game killing Muschamp's Florida. Even that would be hollow though because we beat Georgia by three scores two games later. So we did recover.

Hiring Will Muschamp killed Will Muschamp's Florida.

Yeah sometimes there isn't one thing to point to. And when its a gradual decline it's hard to tell if the program is dead or not. Someone in the Spring of 2010 would have said the loss to Florida killed Bowden's FSU, when we all know that it was a lull season not a death knell. In fact in most cases programs gradually decline into nothingness (like Oregon is doing this year).

The exception to the rule is the game when such and such team becomes completely exposed. Sometimes right then and there you know that is the end of something (like I knew the night Temple beat Vandy), while in some cases it takes retrospective to realize what happened (aka years from now we might say Louisville killed FSU's current program).
