If Arkansas had kept Chad we would have had a shot at this prestigious list.

Seeing Florida on this list three times is a reminder that pre-Spurrier, Florida kinda sucked.

How did Bama go 0-10 with Starr?

Ears Whitworth
"From 1955 to 1957, he coached at Alabama, where he posted a 4–24–2 record, the worst record for a non-interim coach in school history. This included a winless 1955 season, Alabama's last winless season on the field to date, and a 14-game losing streak from 1955 to 1956. In his first year at Alabama, Whitworth was only allowed to hire two of his own coaches and forced to retain the rest of former coach Harold Drew's assistants. This included athletic director Hank Crisp, Whitworth's boss, who was in charge of the defense. Whitworth brought assistant coach Moose Johnson with him from Oklahoma A&M. Following successive 2–7–1 seasons in 1956 and 1957, Whitworth was fired and replaced by Bear Bryant."

I watched some of their games during that season to see what Holtz would do there and was impressed that as bad as it was they had a packed stadium at game time. Hats off to their fans.
I never doubted Lou would turn it around there, at least for a little while like he did here.

Ears Whitworth. 1955 was his first season as Alabama coach. He didn’t improve much after that. His coaching record in three seasons at Alabama was 4-24-2. But, because he was so bad they fired him and hired Bear Bryant. So it worked out.

Golf clap for Chad.

Kentucky went 0-10-1 in 1982.
Posted on 4/22/24 at 2:54 pm to RollTide1987
I think Auburn went 0-10 in 1950.
We were shut out 7 times and lost to Wofford.

Jerry Claiborne’s first season. He got rid of Curci’s criminals. The next year they went to a bowl game. Incredible turnaround.

OM, Miz, and LSU all have vacated seasons within the last few years.

quote:Carolina was forced to use 4 QBs that season due to injuries - two of which also played WR - the season started off in Raleigh during Hurricane Dennis - like right in the middle of moving over the SC border into NC - and USC actually scored first on a Boo Williams rush TD that was taken off the board by a 'holding' call - and then the injuries decimated the offense and ultimately the season -
1999 South Carolina Gamecocks: 0-11
Holtz's 1st year at South Carolina. Limited to 8 offensive touchdowns. Only one-score game a 10–11 loss to Vanderbilt, played five ranked opponents.
it was a talented defense that included Sheldon Brown NFL CB - Andre Goodman NFL CB - Kalimba Edwards NFL DE - and someone by the name of John Abraham who was picked #13 overall and made 5 NFL Pro Bowls over 15 seasons -
quote:one of the most bizarre games in W-B history - and that's saying something -
Only one-score game a 10–11 loss to Vanderbilt,
