I don't know how crooms isn't everyone's answer. Sure he came into a bad situation, but look at his record. He didn't even have a resume. He was hired because of the color of his skin and no one can change my mind of that. He got a bunch of lucky breaks one season and made it to his only bowl game in five years. The guy was just an absolute joke. Orgeron is a close 2nd for me.

Croom got Mississippi State to a bowl, which Curly Hallman was unable to do at LSU.

Croom went to a bowl. Orgeron did not. Orgeron is the correct answer.

How many freaking DL coaches get promoted immediately to an SEC HC.

Croom was really bad, Orgeron was awful.

On second look Orgeron might take the cake, at least Croom had the fortune of winning a handful, okay a fingerful of good games, Orgeron was just all around bad; and damn that Hummer commercial was terrible.

I went with DuBose because while he may have won an SEC championship one season, every other year with him was a freakin' disaster, all the while we were on the fast lane to probation. Basically wrecking the program for about a decade. Hell, people bash Shula, and deservedly so, but it was DuBose fricking things up in the first place, that we ended up with guys like Price and Shula.

It's one thing to lose, it's another to sink a program while doing it.

Ellis Johnson is the only reason Croom went to a bowl game. Croom was bad but I still have to go with Ed O. He had talent and still couldn't win.

***Just saw all the other Ellis Johnson replies.
