It's hard to be record setting terrible because right as you're hitting your stride you're normally fired. So to do something genuinely noteworthy you need a terrible coach at an apathetic school.

That perfect storm was Melvin Watkins at A&M in the late 90s and early 2000s. Conference records:
5-11
4-12
3-13
3-13
6-10
0-16
Total: 21-75, 21.9% winning percentage

That's right, we gave somebody who posted 5 straight losing records another year, which he used to go 0-16 with 2 lottery picks on the team.

So is there a school willing to put Watkins and Barbie on the staff with Creen?

Could really rack up some losing streaks.

My lifetime for LSU, I’d probably say Trent Johnson. Johnny Jones, a very close 2nd.

This is a bit misleading. He went 14-14 that year, which was the first .500 or better season at A&M since 1994 and amazingly is the only A&M coach besides Shelby Metcalf to win in Austin in my lifetime.
