Kiffin done more damage to the Tennessee program than all those combined. Dooley was a panic hire 3 weeks before signing day. Cost 3 recruiting classes when he bolted in the middle of the night. He failed his marriage. His dad had to tell him it wasn't cool to decorate his office with Reggie Bush crap.....Scumbag of college coaches!

Missouri Tigers
John McLean
In 1903, McLean was hired as the head football coach at the University of Missouri. He coached the Missouri Tigers for three years (1903–1905) and compiled an overall record of 9–17–1
In 1906, McLean became involved in a scandal that resulted in his dismissal as Missouri's head coach. Evidence was presented that Akerson, the star fullback on Missouri's 1904 team, was a professional who had been "hired" to serve on the team.
McLean paid Akerson $250 out of his own pocket, and several alumni from Kansas City were to have shared the expense. However, the others "welched," and when McLean wrote to them requesting that they pay their share, they turned over the correspondence to the university's athletic director.
The news created "a real sensation" that resulted in McLean's being "dismissed in disgrace."[
A Nebraska newspaper called it "the biggest scandal in the history of Missouri athletics," and some even called for the abolition of football at the school.
( If only we had learned to cheat better back in the day ! )

I remember Howard Schnellenberger showing up in Norman and predicting under his coaching OU would win multiple national championships.
There was a story I always wondered if it were true about Mrs. Schnellenberger soon after they arrived in Norman, how she went into Target to stock up and was quite surprised and indignant to learn that the wife of the coach of the Oklahoma Sooners was expected to pay for things at local stores.
Then there was the DUI, at what point in his short career at OU did that occur?
The Beverly Schnellenberger story was never pinned down to particular store... Some say it was on campus corner. But she was really arrogant and nobody liked her.
The Howard DUI thing is also kind of murky. But the rumors of all day drinking were already out there before the season even started that year.
So I don't know if he actually ever got a DUI or if that story just was a part of all the drinking rumors.

Let me know if any of your teams have hired a coach and fired him weeks later before even coaching a game.
My guy, did you even bother to read the thread before posting in it? Half the posts prior to yours are about a certain coach fired by a certain school before ever coaching a game.
