5) Brad Scott (South Carolina)
Mike Price never coached a down. I would say Dumbose was a worse hire.
John L. Smith was never intended to be the HC -- he was hired on an interim basis (like I think Coach O is going to end up).
Ron Zook wasn't as bad as people think either. Dude recruited like nobody's bidness. He just couldn't win big games at home (but could win them on the road).

This.
Zook sucked when compared to the HBC, but he wasn't terrible in his 3 years there. Never had a losing (or .500) record, finished ranked all 3 seasons, and was a phenomenal recruiter.
Urban Meyer won a NC with Zook's players in year 2. That goes for something.
