Longest losing streaks for each school are as follows (all SEC schools are represented, past and present)
South Carolina: 21
Alabama: 17
Tulane: 17
Vanderbilt: 16
Florida: 13
Texas A&M: 12
Kentucky: 12
Georgia Tech: 11
Mississippi St: 11
Auburn: 10
Arkansas: 10
Missouri: 10
Sewanee: 9 (in FBS)
Georgia: 8
LSU: 8
Ole Miss: 7
Tennessee: 6
Tennessee only losing 6 games in a row throughout its history is pretty damn impressive.
WTF was Alabama doing in the mid 50's before they fielded one of the greatest college football teams in history in '61?

It reminds me of yesterday's worst coach thread. Ears was as bad as it gets.

Same. On the flip side, their longest winning streak is 13, which would place them tied for 11th best (with Vanderbilt and Miss St).

One of them is not like the others.

Wallace Wade 61-13-4
Frank Thomas 115-24-7
Harold Drew 54-28-7
Jennings B. Whitworth 4-24-2
Paul Bryant 232-46
Ray Perkins 32-15
Bill Curry 26-10
Gene Stallings 70-16-1
Mike DuBose 24-23

Feels like you almost have to be actively trying to lose.
Hope he made some good scratch.

I don't think Ole Miss should count because they've never won 10 regular season games.

He was the line coach at Georgia in 1959 under Wally Butts.
He also coached baseball at Georgia in 1943..........and went 1-10.
