Just pick one. I know it is hard. The worst all time.

For Sooners I will pick Howard Snellenberger. Ran him off after 1 season. Too liberal with the libations

1995 1 season 5-5-1 Conf Rec 2-5

I’ll go with John Blake since that disaster lasted three seasons.

Chad Morris and Sly Croom are the two worst hires in SEC history. All of you are arguing for 3rd place right now.

Damn, forgot about him. Too bad that was before social media took over.

Charlie Strong, a total fraud. I quit buying season tickets the year we made this DEI hire.

Brian Kelly is a close second. Only because LSU paid him 100 million to do nothing. Curley will always be the worst.

Harsin, and it's not close. At least Barfield brought in some talent, and Freeze brought in far more than Barfield. You have to go back before 1957 to find comparable to Harsin.
