Lots of fails on the list but in my memory it has to be Gillispie. Considering the status of the program and that fact that he was abusive, bat-shite nuts, a drunk, and lost way too many games. He at least has to be top 5 in the past 20 years.

Trent Johnson was one of the worst hires because he simply didn't fit in with the SEC. He had no local recruiting network and couldn't recruit from outside the South either. As a defensive, game day coach he wasn't bad but he should never have been a head coach. He was a case of a great looking resume that was buit on moving around a lot and winning with other coach's recruits.

I hate TJ as much as the next guy but his hiring doesn't even compare to Ray. Trent was at least a head coach at two different schools with tourny experience.

Yes.. Ray was the worst basketball hire in SEC history... Not only did he never win games, he got caught on camera yelling "frick you!" at Marshall Henderson...

No ray wasn't the worst hire but in my opinion he was the right hire to clean up the mess. The players aren't running the team, rays players are better students than ever in a long time and he started a serious foundation rebuild. One of the tv stations mentioned a lot of this and I was unaware of all the behind the scenes stuff he did. In my opinion State is in a better position now to rebuild the winning side of the program now that ray has built a foundation. The sad part is that Asa. Coach he will only get hired on his wins and losses vice wha this real contribution was to the program. To me a team that is foundationally unstable should look to hire ray maybe as an assistant to rebuild the basic program but ADs want wins obviously but sometimes there's just more to it!
My 2 cents, adjusted for inflation 1.1 cents really

He was the most unqualified coach I can remember getting a D-1 head coaching job at a decent basketball program. I don't blame Ray for his lack of success because he had a hell of a tough job to do when he came in and he had not been properly prepared before hand.
