How could I forget 2 of the biggest Executive Assassins of prominent programs....
Donna Shalala-Miami and our very own Jeremy Fooley
Good call, 1946. I had forgotten all about him....Boy ND is like a breeding pool for coaching failures over the last 30 or so years.
Alright instead of b!tching and belly aching over what we can't control lets make fun of some other prominent coaching disasters....Keep them within say the last 30 years and try to keep them among the more "elite" programs. We're looking for not so much off the field stuff but guys who royally f vcked up seemingly unstoppable CFB powers .Here goes some of mine..
Bob Davie - ND
Ty Willingham- ND and UW...he has 2 kills to his credit
Charlie Strong- Texas
Derek Dooley- UT
Will Muschamp-UF
Bill Callahan-Nebraska
Charlie Weiss-ND...he was barely above .500 there in 5 seasons
Rich Rod-UM....15-22 AT Michigan had them wishing for Lloyd Carr again.
Brady Hoke- UM
John L. Smith- Arkansas.....Not really ever considered a football power house, but the swiftness of John L. Smith's destruction is worth noting as it only took him one full season to obliterate a up and coming program to the point of being unrepairable by a competent coach for the last 5 years is worth mentioning......
I know it's more than 5.....
Lets hear some more......
Those guys came to mind and I guess it did take OU about 10 years to recover(Stoops)
Yet his destruction was more than any of the full timers....
He did but he won a NC kinda like Cheezdik at Auburn....I thought about putting both of them on my list of idiots who f vcked up wet dream coaching programs....As a side note both walked into rosters that were primed for greatness and although Butters didn't have any offensive studs(except Grier, who he ran off) but Mac rode a loaded defense to 2 SEC East titles like these guys...and you can see the same demise coming.
