Thought about Dooley but could not list him because of the mess he had to clean up. Besides, I enjoyed all the interviews they did with his mother.

Assistant Coach Version:
1. Willie Martinez UGA/Auburn/possibly UT, Not a good defense in sight.
2. Scott Loeffler Auburn, 91 under the Bus, 117 thereafter (total offense)
3. Malleveto LSU, ruined a legit defense, took a few years to restore it.
4. Chuck Weiss UF, need it even be explained?
5. Major Applewhite UA, not a great fit, painful offense to watch
6. Steve Adazio UF, murdered the Urban spread.
Those are the one's I could identify offhand.

2010 is really the only thing keeping Chizik off this list. Really, you could say it was a bad hire that won the lottery.

I'm always fascinated why Tennessee Fans cannot see how bad Kiffin was for their football program and heap all the blame on Dooley. UT hired a squeaky clean head coach when NO BODY ELSE would take the job after Kiffin ruin their football program. Why can't you guys see what everyone else can see?

He's the only unbeaten coach in their school history. Gotta take him off the list.

This should not be measured just by wins and losses. This should also be measured in how a programmed was damaged from the tenure of the coach.
1) Lane Kiffin, never seen SEC students riot over a coach leaving
2) Houston Nutt, Ole Miss, at least he got a few more million $'s
3) John L Smith, Arkansas*, It was all down hill after the intro
*Temporary hire, I think, everything went wrong including his personal finances
Smith shouldn't be on the list because he was a temp coach. He was terrible, but Arkansas would have been overrated with Petrino, so it wasn't all his fault. Petrino would have won a few more games, though.
Shula deserves to be on there somewhere and I want to say Ron Zook, but he was hired in 2002.

I'd forgotten about him. That was really a bizarre hire for Vandy.

If you think Kiffin was worse for UT than Dooley was then you flat out havent paid attention the past 3 years. This is a guy who didnt even TRY to recruit 5* players in our home state and ignored legacies. Dooley inherited a WAAAAAAY better roster than what Butch did. Not to mention Dooley was also the worst game coach in the history of the SEC - there isn't one thing Dooley did well here.
We are about to be banned from a bowl game next season due to his dumbass and our APR - so basically he not only recruited on a sunbelt level - but also kids who couldn't even pass a class. The team had like a 2.06 GPA his last semester here - and that's including the walkons who helped bring the GPA above a 2.0.

What are the top 3 Worst SEC Coaching Hires the Past 10 years?
Mike Price
What an embarrassment. Who knows, if he had not screwed up, it might have changed the 2000s' CFB coaching landscape...

Coach O for sure. He had like 5 wins in 3 seasons. He had numerous problems with players off the field....especially Pillow Gate in 2007. He would wear the team out during the week to the point they were exhausted by the time game day rolled around.

Dooley has to be atop the list

There is zero chance that Derek Dooley isn't on the list. He's not only on the list, he's #1.
Derek Dooley was the worst head coach to ever roam a SEC sideline. He was the worst hire any major program has made since football became big business.
For some reason, UT thought that hiring a guy who didn't even have a winning record at the lower levels of football would equate to big winning in the SEC. They were wrong.
As a reward, Dooley made UT the absolute worst program in the SEC his final two years. Think about that again. Tennessee, for the last two years, has been the absolute worst program in the SEC. They have 2 conference victories in the last 2 years. No team has fewer. The only teams tied with them are Kentucky, who also had two victories and split games with UT, and Missouri, who only played in the SEC for one of those seasons.
Derek Dooley was just absolutely awful. He buried the UT program far enough that I think it'll take more than one coach cycle to bring it back.

Very true. Price is from the same coaching tree as Petrino and I believe they worked together some. He may have won a lot at Alabama, but he also shares Petrino's affliction with women. Sort of ironic.
