Worst head coach/manager ever?

Hell, he got to the playoffs twice and even won a playoff game. Not Hall of Fame stuff, but others certainly have done worse. In 2006, the team had no offensive line whatsoever and Aaron Brooks at quarterback, who was running for his life everytime he took more than a three-step drop.

It's a cold day in hell when I would defend the qualifications of a black as a head coach, but Lane Kiffin and Tom Cable were worse, IMO.

 

The "black" part isn't even the stupidest part of your post, Troll Boy.

 

Self-parody?

 

No racism on my thread, even in jest.
I am a troll and I don't even do that chit.

 

J.D. Roberts - New Orleans Saints early 1970s.

In his first game as interim coach in 1970 after being called up from minor league Richmond, Tom Dempsey kicks record 63-yard field goal to beat Lions 19-17. Saints fail to win a game the rest of the season but Dempsey's kick earned Roberts the gig fulltime.

On the sidelines for one game, Roberts turns to Archie Manning and says, ''I don't know who No. 32 is, but he sure is good." The Saints were playing the Buffalo Bills and No. 32 was O.J. Simpson.

Retire the award.

 

By win percentage, has to be Red Klotz.

 

Ned Harkness. (Tho Les Steckel is a great pull -- for the rest of the NFC Central)

Wow. That is hilarious about simpson.

 

Major college football I'd submit Dan Hawkins at Colorado... NFL I might go with Kotite...

 

Harkness was a great college coach, though.

 

Steckel was a Vietnam colonel.
He went in with a gung-ho practice regimen and had lost the team by midseason.
Bud Grant came out of one-year retirement, turned a 3-13 Vikes team to 8-8 and retired again.
I always appreciated that about Grant - he couldn't stand his work so quickly being turned to shit that he came out of slumber to fix it.

 

Stan Parrish at 8-49-1 combined at Kansas State and Ball State has to be in the conversation
