The worst coach possible

Jjoey52 · Post by **Jjoey52** » December 7th, 2020, 8:31 pm

Pretty much everyone has expressed who they think is the best new coach at USU. This thread seeks to find the worst possible candidate.

I have 2 nominees. The first one is obvious, Gary Anderson. He did a lot of damage this time around. The second one is former Big Sky coach Mike Kramer most recently fired stars Idaho State, in addition to losing a lot, he managed to get himself and ISU sued for allegedly hitting a player.

I mean, knowing what we know now Jerry Sandusky was the worst football hire of all time.

I believe he's known as Lucifer or John L. Smith.

We could hire him so he could quit before the season even started...

I think that's a pretty awful list though and Jerry would be one of the worst. Crazy stories for many... and oh... poor Colorado.

Bringing back Gary might be a mistake but he’s no Gary Ridgway.

Although that would be a Utah hire.

Not to be confused with Gerry Sandusky- the voice of the Baltimore Ravens.

Brent Guy and Kohn Smith are the two worst Aggie coaches of my lifetime although Brent Guy did leave a few superstars for Gary. If you are talking about anyone in college football you could pick any Kansas coach of the last decade. If you want to talk a blueblood program, John Blake has to be on the top of the list. He coached Oklahoma in the 90s and didn't have a winning season at freaking Oklahoma where every coach wins.

Feel lucky you weren’t in the Chris Pella, T.L. Plain era

Ag formerly Hawaii, respect your opinion. I see KS through different eyes.
As with Chuck Shelton, Mick Denney, and others, Kohn Smith had limitations placed on him that makes honest evaluation difficult IMO. For instance, I know that Kohn was recruiting using his own personal funds, in some cases, because they had cut his recruiting budget so deep. His treatment by Emert/Bell was dispicable. WTS, Kohn does have a record for evaluation; just sometimes we don't see the whole picture.

Aaron Roderick or Gary Crowton have my votes

No one asked, but I feel bad (knowing what I know now) for Brent Guy and having to deal with USU football the way it was AND mental illness at the same time. I've got respect for anyone that can do that.

And to be fair to Guy, while he was not a good coach, the program was better when he was fired than it was when he took over. He left some solid players for Gary.

At least Meinkovitch had a macho football name. But “Pella”? Who wants a coach named after a window? ....... or a town in Iowa?

Holtz or Leipold would be my worst case scenarios. I’d rather have Frank than either of those two.

If it were my decision, I would hire Jay Hill today. And I happen to think that would be a GREAT decision.

I guess the good new is with one of those, I'm done buying club seats, so I'll save myself save a couple thousand a year and just tune in occasionally on the TV.

Tell you what, if it's Leipold I'll upgrade from my West side seatbacks to the club seats, so that things cosmically even out.

I'm hoping John Hartwell will bring in a dazzling Football Coach that will be applauded and supported for years to come. Having said that, I trust Mr. Hartwell is able to acquire a new AGGIE Football Coach in time for the 2021 season.

If I lived in Utah id be tempted to do the same for leipold. That would be a great hire.

Doesn't Plain partially suffer from Sam Bowie syndrome? We'd have forgotten by now how bad he was, but it's who we passed up to have him.
