Bart Starr.
Played on the '54 and '55 squads. Those two teams were a combined 4-15-2.

Herb Tyler won 27 games out of 38 games as LSU starting QB. That was not LSU's worse years, Hallman's teams were.

For Tennessee:
Eric Berry - Played for UT from '07-'09. Was part of the horrid '08 team (5-6) that led to the departure of Fulmer.
Arian Foster - Played for UT from '05-'08 (two 5-6 teams). See '08 team reference above.
ETA...Foster was part of the Clawfense debacle...the abortion that was the '08 UT offense.

Easy! Tommy Pharr, All SEC QB on a 3 win team in 1969 and D.D. Lewis in 67 and 68. In 68 we were 0-8-2.

Brodie Croyle (2002-2005)
Would love to have seen him with talent around him.

He had lots of talent around him. Too bad they were all on the other teams.

Spencer Pennington was an awful player on an awful team.
Yet he wasn't the worst QB on the 2003 team. Marc Guillon and Brandon Avalos made it unbearable to watch.

I worked with Freddie for a few years. I was 18 and he was, I'm guessing, in his 50's. Nice guy even though he did make fun of me for using two hands while swinging a sledge hammer. He took it from me, grabbed it about halfway up the handle, and proceeded to drive a 2x4 stake one-handed like he was driving a nail with a framing hammer.

Since football wasn't strictly specified, I'll go with Pistol Pete.

That is a tough one.
Okay. How about Red Hickey for Arkansas? No, seriously. His name was Howard Wayne "Red" Hickey.
He was drafted into the NFL in 1941 and I do not believe he played on an Arkansas team with a winning record.
A solid NFL player he moved at an early age into coaching. In '60 he invented the shotgun formation as we know it. Oddly enough while for decades it was thought of as a passing formation when he created it he relied on a mobile QB to run the system.
Which had its drawbacks as he demoted all everything QB Y.A. Tittle for a more mobile QB. Still his QBs put up amazing numbers for the time period they played and it could be considered the starting point of the spread style offenses.
Since he didn't have a back next to the QB it was actually quite a bit like the five wide formations we see today.

Your program was bottom of the barrel for just as long as its been good. Surely you can name a player that played at LSU between 1989 and 1999. That was 11 years of horrific football on the bayou.
Overall Winning Percentage 1989-1999:
82.2%- Tennessee
79.9%- Florida
75.7%- Texas A&M
68.9%- Alabama
65.7%- Auburn
61.3%- Georgia
59.1%- Ole Miss

52.0%- Arkansas
47.2%- LSU
41.0%- South Carolina
40.3%- Kentucky
37.5%- Missouri
28.9%- Vanderbilt
Congrats! You were THE worst team among the current Western division programs for more than a decade. Surely you can name a player from that time period.
But, 2000...?

I'm not a Vol fan, but I am a Chiefs fan, so I'd say Eric Berry. Tennessee was decent in 2007 during his true freshman year but during his sophomore year in 2008, Tennessee went 5-7 and they were barley above .500 in 2009 going 7-6.
