Wimp Sanderson. Technically, he resigned. But, resigning in the face of being fired is not really resigning.

Ken wasn't fired,he just left.

The joke around here back then was that Ken was always late everywhere he drove because he wouldn't pass.

Frank wanted him to make changes,Ken hauled arse to clemson.

He did, he was finished here and Broyles was about to pull the trigger. Some think he did pull the trigger

Dude won 10 games a year here but he was boring.......explains our fanbases present infatuation with Petrino, even after he shite on the entire program.

That's pretty easy.

Football - R.C. Slocum
Basketball - Shelby Metcalf
Baseball - Mark Johnson

I can’t even think of a good football coach that got fired at sc, only coach I can ever remember being fired was brad Scott and the only thing he was best at was not putting a defense on the field

Wimp Sanderson by a mile.

Didn't want to fire him, we were pretty much forced to.

Is the correct answer.

Among coaches that were "fired" fired, I'd probably say Cliff Ellis in basketball, then Renfroe in baseball.

*sigh*

Mother fricking Richardson...
