I don't think I can make a truly informed opinion on which loss of the past 3 seasons is Will Muschamp's worst coaching job. There have been several embarrassing losses, but you have to factor in just how bad Florida's offenses have been and the injury bug.

I don't think you do. There is simply no excuse for Georgia Southern. The only option as far as I'm concerned.

For Mark Richt, I'm guessing 35-7 has to rank pretty high on the list. Sure, South Carolina was firing on all cylinders that night, but Mark Richt's studded secondary and talented offense might've made the game interesting if they had received different calls or another gameplan.

2012 @ USCe wasn't his best performance, but 2007 v South Carolina in Athens was his biggest coaching disaster IMO. We were the far superior team and we looked woefully unprepared on offense even though we had a crazy amount of young offensive talent. I think the biggest mistakes on offense in that game were throwing the ball too much and splitting touches between Thomas Brown/Knowshon even though Knowshon was clearly more talented.

Tie between 2012 A&M and 2013 A&M

South Carolina wasn't on the map until 2010, but I'd nominate their 2011 Auburn loss for the biggest coaching disaster. That loss was completely inexcusable and was the reason they didn't win back-to-back divisional titles.

Spurrier also has some pretty dumbfounding calls @UT last year. If he coaches those 2 games like we know he can, and usually does, SC would be the division champs 3 out of the last 4 seasons.

Giving Cade Foster a scholarship. Yes, I'm still mad.

Most LSU fans will say BCSCG vs Bama, but why? That was a quick turnaround revenge game, by a Bama that was better than LSU..and coulda shoulda woulda beat LSU in the GOC with a PK and not for an epic Int. I liked Bama in both games..and far more so in the BCSCG revenger.

Some LSU fans will say Old Myth 2013, Ark or Ky 2007,etc..

But, by far Les Miles worst day as LSU HC was his learning curve era in 2006, when not picking on Auburn's Frosh DB from (Monroe-La?), inserted as a starter near gametime, and not working him over with Russell to his NFL WR corps(the way a Spurrier would exploit such)..

Miles heavyhanded Jimbo's hand(Fischer said as much on Finebaum later by saying LSU should've won that game with some ease), by running inside the Tackles all day, vs a loaded up Box, wasting precious downs and distance, and vs a new Aubie DC in Muschamp(whom knew all too well the entire LSU roster of starters he coached recently, their skill sets, and tendencies,etc..)

That loss cost LSU a rematch vs Fla in SECCG..by which time LSU was playing better ball than the Fla team they giftwrapped the Gator win in Swamp a few weeks later that year..

Refgate/Miles early SEC learning curve/hardhead/heavyhand cost LSU an 2006 Natty Crown that day on the Plains, imho.

Tenn 2005, playing the Vols former LSU QB Clausen and his noodle arm, 20 yards off the LOS on MNF/Katrina re-scheduled game in 2nd Half with huge lead, allowing him to dink-dunk the Tigers soft prevent D, when it was the only way his arm could win that game, also one of his worst LSU games..

Otherwise, not as many bad games as many Rantards/Negatigers, including myself, can truly bitch about. As many/most of CLM's limited LSU losses, are more plausible, and/or should be laid at the feet of his players, than in pointing towards the LSU staff.

Conning the best AD in the country into giving him an extension off of one fluke season.

the fake punt in the BCSCG was bad enough, but so was the inexplicable wildcat play that helped kill a drive. if CGM ran it because he wanted to talk with marshall on the sidelines for a moment, he should've called a TO instead....and i know he had a TO to spare, 'cuz they were trying to call one before the play that led to an auburn PI on FSU's final drive....
