If we had to pick one it would be Biff Jones, who was 20-5-2 at LSU between 32 and 34. Got on the wrong side of Huey and was sent packing. He went on to win 2 Big 8 titles at Nebraska pre-Devany.
Huey had lined up Frank Thomas to leave Alabama but had to wait for him to bring his team back vu train from the Rose Bowl to inform the team and his superiors. In the interim Huey was talked into hiring Bernie Moore instead, who ended up having a pretty good tenure at LSU and in on the college football hall of fame. He was also the first SEC Commissioner. More or less worked out all around but Huey should have stuck with Frank.
