What is the Most Mismanaged Football Program in the SEC?

Over the last five or so years, what football program has been the most incompetent, poorly run program in the SEC? Who managed to do the least with the most? Who had the worst ROI?
There are several in the discussion; Auburn, Florida, Arkansas and Texas A&M all have strong cases.
Mississippi State is off the table due to the circumstances.
So, who does the rant think is the biggest trainwreck in the SEC?

The answer has to be Auburn, right?

Auburn has managed to take Tennessee's previously long held position

Auburn is a dumpster fire

If the measure is potential v results, then Auburn in a landslide.

Yet, these are the low expectation years where AU likely wins the conference somehow.

Just a few short years ago it would have been Texas by a wide margin.

TAMU given the money spent on NIL and buyouts has to be the worst ROI.

My vote is Florida.
Spurrier absolutely dominated CFB for a decade, and did it against some really great FSU and Miami teams. Then they stumbled with Zook, but immedtiley course corrected with Urban Meyer who dominated for another 5-6 stretch. Then CUM had "medical issues" and they hired:
Will Muschamp 28-21
Jim McElwain 22-12
Dan Mullen 34-15
Billy Napier 19-19
Will went
7-6
11-2
4-8
6-5
Jim went
10-4
9-4
3-4
Dan went
10-3
11-2
8-4
5-6
Billy is
6-7
5-7
8-5
Every single coach somehow found early success in year 1-2 before completely falling apart with the exception of Napier, who hasn't done anything yet. Well, he did beat Tulane without their QB in the Gasparilla Bowl...

Pre SEC though.
Everyone keeps saying Auburn. Compare the investment in football at A&M versus the investment in football at Auburn. I'm not saying it's nothing at Auburn. But Jimbo Fisher alone dwarfs anything other underachieving college football programs have done. Then you add the $500 million stadium upgrade. The overall football facilities upgrade. The investment in the best recruiting class of all time. And then the results from all of it.
How can the answer in the last 5 years be anything but A&M? I'm a Texas fan, so I'm biased, but show me where I'm wrong?

Okay, total train wreck. Zero chance to win a conference game.

Napier needs to show success his year, he had to recover from the mess Mullen left with a constantly top 3 schedule

We do struggle with getting 11 men on the field too often

Florida seems to be an average program without Spurrier or Urban coaching. It is amazing considering the talent near that campus
