Worst head coaching hires of the 21st-century

[gtGreg768b]

Ron Prince at K State was hilariously bad. Also Muschamp made the list for his hire at Florida and South Carolina... ouch

 

[BEEFENSE]

ANY such list without THE CLOWN on it is absolutely ludicrous.

 

[gojkts]

Brian VanGorder to Georgia Southern for that one year is among the worst coaching hires of all time.

They should’ve put him in 4th qtr. They would’ve won state. I just know it.

Art Briles made Baylor relevant. The Dallas Star proved his innocence and Baylor had to pay him damages over the issue. It would have happened to any coach.

 

[zippyGT]

I thought about adding him but seems most of the love for Briles was coming from one guy who shall remain unnamed but if you watch closely, it will come to you in due time.

 

[GoldenIsle]

IF Taggart from FSU is on the list then the Clown is in a class by himself. I can’t think of a worse hire … TStan must be proud.

 

[savbandjacket]

need a list for Athletic Directors.

We would dominate.

 

[savbandjacket]

And I'll just mention this and back away slowly but there are several names on that list that quite a few Tech fans would have cut their left nutt off to have come here.

Randy Edsall
Will Muschamp
Hugh Freeze
Charlie Strong
And a few maybes.

I never saw the appeal in Edsall or Muschimp. I understood Freeze and Strong.

Wasn't Edsall an assistant at Tech at one time?

 

[Dirty Jacket]

How is Art Briles on this list, let alone #1? Then where’s Paterno?

 

[coit]

Then where’s Paterno?

Hell.

 

[GEETEELEE]

Wasn't Edsall an assistant at Tech at one time?

Yes, his was the D that set a season record for turnovers. Then he went to Conn.

 

[oldgoldbee]

Hard to believe the two worst hires in the history of GT football didn't make this list!!!

 

[Techfan02]

Unfortunately no. There were a LOT of people in here clammoring for Will Muschamp.

We do hire mutts so I shouldn't be suprised I mean we hired bill lewis and goof cunilingus who are mutts

 

[00Burdell]

Wasn't Edsall an assistant at Tech at one time?

Yes. He was the defensive backs coach for the NFL Jags - best secondary in the NFL when he was there. Then he came here and as noted by @GEETEELEE, did the same thing for our defense. But he was a bit of a dick - I think he interviewed for the HC job here but didn't make the short list.

 

[CornerBlitz]

Taggart / Smith / Pruitt are in a “hell-in-the-cage” style wrestling match. They’re trading blows equally until Collins drops in from the rafters and pile drives all of them then suplexes the ref. CGC is the last man standing.

 

[justafan]

We became so irrelevant under Collins that no one even thinks about us.

 

[justafan]

I think the fact he is not on this list speaks to how terrible he was. GT goes from being known as an option team and having sucess... to being completely forgotten because we have been so terrible.

Bingo

Bill Lewis was not in this century. This list is for the 21st century.

I think you are correct, damn
