Even though many Aggies disagree I think ours is clearly RC Slocum.

What about your program?

All deserved to be released. Tubs resigned, still my favorite.

Man Phil was a lot skinnier and had way more hair when he was young.

Edit: Just realized that is not Phil. Who is it?

Bear Bryant would be #1 on the Aggies list

We didn't fire him, he left.

Only other option for us is Jackie I think. And that guy way back in the pre-WW2 era that Texas made us fire.

Didn't fire per se but could have and should have kept Arnsparger from leaving.

Obviously it worked out but I did think he got a raw deal. Got you through brutal penalties and even delivered you a awfully good 2005 season in the process. I thought he should have gotten a chance to see what he could do without the draconian sanctions handcuffs on him.

Sadly the Arkansas response to this is to break into hysterical laughter at the thought of having to pick just one. Though, technically, Hatfield resigned... but it is fairly well known he was shoved out the door by Broyles.

I am beginning to think that was one of the most impressive coaching jobs I've seen in all my years watching SEC football.

In '05, Shula had a talented but oft-injured QB (with no backup), a second-tier OL and maybe 3 SEC-caliber skill players on the entire offensive roster - and (admittedly due to his own blunder in the UF game) his best weapon on that side of the ball suffered a career-ending injury in game 5. Granted, they had some decent talent and solid coaching on defense, but they had no business being undefeated and #3 in the BCS going into their last two games.

If they had managed to hold off LSU in o/t, that Iron Bowl would have truly been one for the ages.

Although not technically fired, the Ray Graves to Doug Dickey coaching change is probably the worst move in school history.
