Name some programs who lost a big name coach and went into a spiral

[AlaskaGuy]

Washington - Don James: other than the Neuheisel years they were down for well over a decade.
Florida - Urban Meyer: UF has now won back to back SEC East titles.
Nebraska - Tom Osborne: I got nothing.
USC - Pete Carroll: USC seems to be back in the thick of things after some rough years.
Penn St. - Joe Paterno: See USC up above.
Texas - Mack Brown: Rough years with Charlie, let's see what happens with Herman.
Baylor - Art Briles: Too early to tell.
Oregon - Chip Kelly: Didn't make a bowl game last season.
Ohio St. - Jim Tressel: Ohio St. is back on top again.
Boise St. - Chris Petersen: Too early to tell yet.
Georgia - Mark Richt: Too early to tell yet.
South Carolina - Steve Spurrier: They deserve to lose every game after hiring Muschamp (fvkn idiots).
LSU - Les Miles: Too early to tell yet.

Add some more if you have 'em.

Bo Schembechler?

I don't remember what happened after Bo because I didn't care about college football in the 80's

I don't know if I would say Washington went in to a spiral after losing james. they started trending down some, lambright kind of had them up and down but it wasn't really til Neuheisle that things really started falling apart followed by gilbert and Tyrone.

And I don't think losing Kelly is exactly what caused Oregons downward trend as much as losing Mariota. seems like after he left leadership fell off, players weren't really in it.

Alabama after Bear.

Also after Stallings.

Michigan: Lloyd Carr

Was gonna ask if Carr counts.

Washington fell apart after Neuheisel.

Too early to say that Pitt went into a spiral before he even left.

 

[Olyduck]

Washington fell apart after Neuheisel.

yeah but I wouldn't call him a big coach

 

[Wamu]

meeeechegan: Bennie Oosterbaan. He lead them to an outright Natty in '48 & they haven't won another outright Natty since.

Bo Schembechler?

I wouldn't include Bo for this list. Gary Moeller took over for him in '90 & in his 1st three years he went 9-3, 10-2 & 9-0-3 winning the Gator & Rose Bowls & losing 1 Rose Bowl.

Michigan when Lloyd left.

Lloyd's last years were pretty terrible as well. I think the slide started even before Dick Rod.
