I'd go with
1. JB Whitworth at Alabama
2. Earl Browm at Auburn
3. Ed Orgeron at Ole Miss
4. Derek Dooley at Tennessee
5. Curley Hallmwn at LSU
6. Charles Shira at MSU
7. John Ray at Kentucky

Trying to think of some others

1129 is also the combined weight of Bert and Jim Chaney, no wonder they broke the elevator in JHS in 2014

Croom went 10–30, just as some perspective.

Whitworth was 4-24-2. Bama couldn't score, much less win. They were shut out ELEVEN times in his three years. In the SIXTY seasons since then, Bama has been shut out.......eleven times!

Those are GOAT numbers compared to Ears Whitworth. In 3 seasons he was 3-18-1 in the SEC and 4-24-2 overall at Alabama.

For comparison:

In the 3 years before Whitworth, Harold Drew went 20-10-5 (11-5-4 in the SEC) with an SEC title, Orange bowl win, and Cotton Bowl loss.

In the 3 years after Whitworth, Paul Bryant went 20-7-5 with a Liberty bowl loss and a Bluebonnet bowl tie. He then won the national title in 1961.

No coach in the history of this conference has managed to do so little with so much than Jennings B "Ears" Whitworth.

I respect the heck out of Croom but he has to be on the list. Not the worst but his was an honorable mention

Ears Whitworth was bad. The three years he was at Bama, he won only 4 games. His record was 4-24-2.

Auburn has a pretty bad coach, Earl Brown, before Shug Jordan. The 3 years he was at Auburn, 1948-50, he was 3-22-4.

Steve Sloan at Ole Miss
Sly Croom at State

And perhaps the worst of all time, Woody Widenhofer 15-40 (4-36)
