Jack Crowe, and it isn't even close. I don't really count John L. Smith because he was just an interim.

Ford and Nutt won the West 3 times. Petrino won 10 & 11 games. Bert has steadily improved the program.

Hatfield had just went 55-17 and won 2 conference championships. Crowe comes in and goes 3-8, then 6-6. He then proceeds to lose to The Citadel the first game of his 3rd season and then he gets fired. He was bad. Real bad.

I experienced the joy of attending UA at that time. Very dark point in history. Before that the Hogs were always good as long as I could remember - beck to '77 with Lou.

Didn't Hatfield's recruiting tank towards the end? Why else did he leave his alma mater if he didn't see a lean roster on the horizon?
