From Herm Edwards to Chad Morris, ranking college football's 15 worst coaching hires of the past decade

[Red Finger]

What a pussy, he can't even take responsibility for that one decision, let alone everything that followed.

He has a chance to get on this list twice in a few years

I give him credit. He's consistent. He consistently shows why he shouldn't be the coach at Nebraska.

What’s sad is that ~ 95% of fans approved of the hire. 😞

At the time we/they were probably right. It was Frost that was given everything that any coach had ever needed or wanted and still managed to fail so spectacularly.

I don't understand what he's doing. He shouldn't need the money. He doesn't need it for his legacy. Ride of into the sunset banging your girlfriend dude.

Her and all her girlfriends...bang until you bang yourself to death.

Oh. “Some other people wanted” him to come here and make so much money he’d never need to work again.

Well, what a relief that he bears no responsibility for coming and doing a historically shitty job. It was “some other people” who made him do it.

I am dumbfounded that we have fans who wish this phony well.

i hear Belichick went with a junior high girl to her spring dance.

im not saying mark banker was a great dc, or even a good dc.. but he sure as shit didnt deserve to get canned after that year

eichorst is a shit bag

dude he was as bad as cosgrove it literally cant get worse

I never thought Frost was the “A+” hire but lets not forget that was the narrative at the time. Mike Riley was a terrible hire and completely decimated this program. Id argue that Scott was a terrible coach here but he did leave the program in better shape than what it was during the Riley era.

Going to disagree with that. Frost left the program in worse shape than Riley did. The last 2 years under Frost really hurt. Look at the OL and QB recruiting at the end of the Frost era, truly awful.

It literally did get worse when he was replaced by Diaco

im not sure that it did, but tbf everyone knew riley was a lame duck and again riley decimated the program there was no longer a culture at that point

Riley was a terrible hire, but so far he was more successful than Rhule or Frost. His culture wasn't that bad, it was the last time we were relevant in late October. The Banker fire / Diaco hire was just awful and fully tanked the Riley era which shouldn't have ever happened.

I feel bad for Riley, he wasn't supported by program the whole time he was here. The way he was treated was pretty poor. Then again the decision to hire him was awful, but once he was here he should have been supported better and given a chance. He would have been decent if he would have received the support that Frost got.

I do agree that he could’ve been supported better but I’m not sure it would’ve made much difference. Riley was the same coach here that he had been his entire career

When Riley left, we were one year removed from a 9-win season and a bowl game.

When Frost left, we were 6 years removed from a 9-win season and a bowl game.

It’s not close.

No program is better off for 5 consecutive losing seasons from one coach. No program is better off for having the longest non-bowl streak in power 5/4.

Yeah but all those one score losses could have been wins so basically he was great….

I'm guessing it is mostly for setting up his son as the next HC.

But agreed, he could remain football adjacent on TV, spend time with the GF, and not have to deal with teenagers in the circus era of CFB. I think he's going to struggle there and be gone after one season.

Things going great. Jordan banned from football facilities

Bill is going to have to choose between being a football coach or dating a hot psycho.

The pathetic thing is, there are many of our fans that sadly believe this.
