To piggyback off of the Croom thread I am interested to see who each school's fans think are the worst SEC head coaches of all time?

Sly Croom
Curley Hallman
Woody Widenhofer from Vandy?
Billy Brewer?

Anyone got any names and examples to share......and please no grudges.....people like Houston Nutt and Gerry Dinardo were not the worst ever.

Croom took the bullies to a bowl. Not even their worst coach in their own history

Croom doesn't belong in this discussion, IMO.

Ears Whitworth took over the 3rd-winningest program in college football history (at the time). A program that already boasted numerous SEC titles, Rose Bowl bids, and MNC's.

In just three short years, from 1955 to 1957, he coached at Alabama, where he posted a 4–24–2 record that included a 14-game losing streak from 1955 to 1956.

He took one of the greatest programs in history and immediately turned them into one of the worst programs in the country. What other coach has done that?

It took the greatest coach in college football history to recover.



The answer is Ears Whitworth.

Can Fran be considered? I know he did OK at Bama with DuBose's recruits, be he destroyed our program. And he was an SEC coach.
