Arnett was more forgettable than Moorhead. I always remember Moorhead because he was the state coach during the dog piss penalty egg bowl.

For me, it's Joe Morehead.


To further your point, it's Moorhead... not Morehead.

Yeah ! Pitiful arse Mizzou is 2-2 vs powerhouse LSU ? That can't be right can it ? I figured the Bayou Braggarts would be undefeated?

Ray Perkins is probably the most forgettable Bama coach of my lifetime. Put in like 3-4 lackluster seasons and dipped.

The shitty coaches were still memorable.

Even Mike Price who never even coached a game was memorable.

Chad Morris

his only wins
Eastern Illinois, Tulsa, Portland St and Colorado St
he lost to the likes of Colorado St, North Texas, San Jose St and Western Kentucky.

NAH.

Rich Brooks was good and seemed likable at Kentucky.

Gary Pinkel was pretty damn good at Mizzou had them in the title talk in '07 I believe.

Now Joker Phillips on the other hand

For my school they’ve all been forgettable since Tom Osborne called it a day a good while back.

No, check that - Bo Pelini was pretty entertaining. Bo could at least win 9 games a year and you never quite knew when Bo might finally snap and murder a referee right there during the game.

But all the rest of ‘em just kind of blend into this fuzzy blob of “meh” as far as memories go.

In a decade the answer will be Brian Kelly. LSU buried him in irrelevance
and forgettableness.

Your grasp of the modern vernacular is on another level. I bet you are quite adept at making a shoe smell.

Every coach ever at Missouri and Kentucky


Growing up in GA when Bill Curry was the GT head coach, his leaving for Bama, then going to UK, and then being GA State's first head coach is memorable to me.

I was a student at Valdosta State when Hal Mumme was coaching there and left for UK. VSU lost a playoff game at Carson Newman, and Mumme didn't fly home with the team. He went to UK for the announcement. When the players arrived back in town they were furious with many believing Mumme threw the game so he could go ahead and go.

Guy Morris was at VSU on Mumme's staff; so, I remember him.

Joker Phillips, well, he is named Joker.

Rich Brooks, they hired a coach with a long proven losing record.

As for Mizzou, they had Dan Devine, a fact I know from looking him up after seeing Rudy. Funny thing is, Mizzou hasn't won their conference since he was the coach.

Pinkel was pretty good.

Jim Donnan


Donnan won an FCS national championship and played for two more. All three of those games were against Jim Tressel's Youngstown State.

He had a horrible record in the big games at UGA, but his final four teams finished ranked and won bowl games.

Dooley wanted to give him another year, but President Adams overruled him and fired Donnan due to several off-the-field issues; things he would have survived had he won the big games.

I don't think anyone will forget Chad Morris. I think he's arguably the worst coach in SEC history.

Dan Devine went from Missouri to Notre Dame (remember Rudy and the 77 NC?)and Bear Bryant went from Kentucky to A&M. Hal Mumme and Mike Leach developed the spread before they got to Kentucky. Did you know Mike had a law degree from Pepperdine University?
