Teams that have survived 3 Terrible Head Coaching Hires and gone on to do Great Things.

[Hitman Hart]

Clemson checking in

Ken Hatfield
Tommy West
Tommy Bowden

Now ... The Man, The Myth, The Legend .... DABO!!

 

[BamaDude]

1. Dubose
2. Franchione
3. Price*
4. Shula

Mike Price was just an asterisk, since he never actually coached at Bama. The real list is:

Mike DuBose
Dennis Franchionne
Mike Shula (w/Joe Kines as another asterisk since he was not hired as head coach, but coached the bowl game after Shula was fired).

That list of bad hires spanned a whole decade, from 1997-2006. At least they got the next hire right!

Sometimes those "borrowed" coaches become permanent fixtures.

Ya'll better hope Saban stays there until he's dead. Dabo ain't going anywhere. He's dug-in like a tick now.

I think by "Ya'll" you mean "Clemson fans".

I can hear the press conference now, Dabo saying "Sorry boys, but mama called".

If Saban left tomorrow, I would imagine would get either Dabo or Peterson. Or hell, bring Chip.
