May not be the worst, but Mississippi State humbly submits Rick Ray.

After going 21-12 and finishing sixth in the SEC but barely missing an NCAA bid, Mississippi State parted ways with its most successful coach, Rick Stansbury.

After being turned down by a host of mid-major coaches and future Louisville coach Kenny Payne, State went with the second assistant from a perennial NIT club, Clemson in Rick Ray.

In his three seasons at MSU, he went 10-22 (4-14), 14-19 (3-15) and 13-19 (6-12), never advancing past the first day of the SEC Tournament (The 11-14 day).

He finished .381 overall and .241 in conference despite having decent talent.

He was hired at Southeast Missouri State and somehow ended up worse, never having a winning season. He is an assistant at Colorado this year and they made the NCAA.
