Luke has to be up there.

He had AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Demarkus Lodge, Van Jefferson, Dawson Knox, Scottie Phillips and Jordan Ta’amu on offense and had no clue how to use them.

Ole Miss Coach O was horrific and deserves mention if not a spot.

Muschamp has to be up there just because of his identical failures at 2 schools.

I am not an Ed Orgeron fan, but the man has won a national title plus a Fiesta Bowl. Curley Hallman belongs on the list. Just an awful head coach

I think with Ed, looking at the overall picture is needed. Horrible at Ole Miss, had one good season with LSU, but the very next season lsu has been absolutely damaged. LSU is in a horrible position right now and those are the reasons I put Ed on it

I think Bobby Petrino has get mentioned in this discussion!

When I saw him on TV in the neck brace and his face all messed up, I knew he had really screwed up!

Belongs nowhere near this list.

For God's sake he beat Saban in LSU's title year, whipped those boys on Frat Row, beat Bobby Bowden @FSU when the field got named after him, then walked his big balls up to Illinois and took them to the fricking Rose Bowl after beating #1 OSU in Columbus.

Edit: 2 pages and still no one has said Joker Phillips

One good season? The man was 40-9 at LSU prior to 2020.

I think John L. Smith gets a pass. He was an emergency hire and only here for one year. Smith never should have, and never would have, been hired for the job if it wasn't a dire emergency.

I do think Derek Dooley deserves a dishonorable mention for his stay at Tennessee.

Yes, he really hurt the Tennessee program. I know a guy in the Tennessee AD and from what I hear he was a nightmare.

I think that makes him a great coach though.

Arkansas the year before JLS: Top10 program. Skip Bayless even picked Arkansas to win the BCS under JLS.

He pretty much tanked the entire program in 1 year.
