Because Alabama has beaten themselves 15 times since 2007, do they all count equally?

For Sumlin, it would be the 2011 CUSA title game.

Since Saban built LSU and Les Miles is just along for the ride I will go with loss to UAB.

Where do I begin with Saint Richt?


1). 2012 South Carolina- A train wreck from start to finish. He didn't have the team ready at all for a prime time game in a hostile environment. When USCe came out and threw that long ball on their opening drive and we missed breaking it up/ intercepting it...It was game over.

2). 2007 Tennessee- How? That is all.

3). 2009 Florida- We got our shite pushed in by a great Florida team. My reasoning for calling this a disaster is the fricking black helmets we sported. Why?

4). (Pick your favorite shitting the bed moment) We have had a lot. These are the ones that still grind my gears though.

Malzahn has not had a coaching disaster yet.


How about last year against LSU? Fortunately, his team scored a TD late in the game to bring his team within 14 points.

For Saban - either losing to LA-Monroe, or losing to UAB. Both will suffice for biggest coaching disaster.

Regardless of how early he was at either location, both should have had MORE than enough talent to beat either easily.

I'm going to need to see some 45-42 responses from the Georgia fans.

Will Muschamp's worst coaching job is arguable. He has actually had some very well coached games, IMO. I would say Louisville was his worst game as a coach.

First of all, he made the decision to establish the pass instead of the run, which was the opposite of what had gotten Florida their in the first place. That lead to the first INT for a TD and set UF behind.

How they chose to attack the Louisville passing game was also a head scratcher to me. Their third down play calling on defense was horrendous that game.

Even so, they were somehow still in the game, but for some reason, Muschamp decides to run an onside kick to start the 2nd half. Louisville was ready for it and they didn't audible out of it.

Some people might wanna say Miami, but I thnk that game was more on the players than the coaches.

2011 BCS National Championship game (easily)

Some other notable ones would be The Meltdown in Mississippi, 2012 Chik-fil-a bowl, 2007 Arkansas game, ect

Are you stupid? or just a homer?

Perhaps neither, but I agree that the 2012 BCS National Championship wasn't the most embarrassing loss of all time. 2011 LSU lost to one of the greatest teams of the BCS era. How they lost was embarrassing to an extent, but who they lost to certainly wasn't. 77-0, the 2003 Big 12 Championship, and the 2012 Orange Bowl are a few games that had lesser implications yet were more embarrassing.

as embarrassing as the BCSNCG performance was, nothing was more embarrassing than the number of grown men crying/fighting after bama lost the real game at home

1. It was his first month as a HC at a major program.
2. LSU is incredibly tough to beat at home; their last 2 home losses were to teams that finished #1 and #3 in the country, and those games were tight.
3. Auburn hadn't created their offensive identity yet.
4. LSU was the better team when the game was played.
Do you need any other reasons? LSU deserved and earned the win. Losing to a superior team in a very hostile environment is not a coaching disaster. Some of the issues that put Auburn in a hole were not Malzahn's fault anyways.

South Carolina wasn't on the map until 2010, but I'd nominate their 2011 Auburn loss for the biggest coaching disaster


yeah that's up there but that was vintage 2011 Garcia

I'd say 2013 Tennessee should be near the top

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.

I can think of a few, but 12 sc definitely isn't one.

What a shitty pick.

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.
