re: What was the SEC worst football coaching hire ever?

quote:

---

Brad Scott. South Carolina had a 21 game losing streak which extended from the second game in Scott's last year to the entirety of Holtz's first year. How is that even possible? Scott might go down as the worst recruiter of all-time because a legendary HOF coach couldn't manage to win a single game over an entire season with his players despite not having to deal with any sanctions or scholarship limitations.

Exactly Bench.

Scott left no offensive linemen ... Holtz was having to play walkons and defensive linemen on the OLine.

Scott left no QBs. We were having to play athletes at QB.

Scott left us with a roster of just 57 scholarship players.

Lou Holtz, God bless him ... he saved us. He went out and in short order, from December to February, signed enough players scrapped together enough players to even field a team his first year. And by the second year he staged the largest turn around in NCAA history at the time, of eight games, proceeded to take us to Orlando where we beat Ohio State.

Brad Scott very nearly destroyed us.
