Mike Price - Alabama. Fired before he coached a single game.

One of my buddies was down at the beach one weekend and managed to get in to Florabama (17 at the time). He said ol' Mike was perched up on the bar and buying drinks for anyone who was nearby.

Tied with Bo Rein at LSU, who died before he coached a game.

Bo Rein wasn't fired though, so Price wins the tiebreaker.

I know, but your title doesn’t say fired, just fewest games coached.

I watched a doc on Bo Rein. Apparently he was supposed to create a Bama-esque dynasty at LSU. Never got the chance.

Coaching tree
Assistant coaches under Price who became college or NFL head coaches:

Dave Campo: Dallas Cowboys (2000–2002)
Robb Akey: Idaho (2007–2012)
Bill Doba: Washington State (2003–2007)
James Franklin: Vanderbilt (2011–2013), Penn State (2014–present)
Robin Pflugrad: Montana (2010–2011)
Kevin Sumlin: Houston (2008–2011), Texas A&M (2012–2017), Arizona (2018–present)
Joe Tiller: Wyoming (1991–1996), Purdue (1997–2008)
Mike Zimmer: Minnesota Vikings (2014–present)
Chris Ball: Northern Arizona (2019–present)



Has a decent enough coaching tree despite his boozing past. I bet he and Rumlin got into some bottles together.

The only coach worth a damn on that list is Joe Tiller.

As far as boozing goes, Price and Rumlin are pretty formidable, allegedly, but my money would be on Shoney's Big Boy Bert to drink both of 'em under the table..

Price only coached about 20 minutes of the spring game. It poured and a huge storm rolled in. They cancelled it.

We'll always have that spring game, and in reality just the spring practices since the game was all of 15 minutes.
