The worst coach firings of the last 15 years
6 coaches listed.
BO PELINI, NEBRASKA
You could make a case for Frank Solich, one of Pelini’s predecessors at Nebraska coach here as well. Both were victims of the high expectations that come with coaching one of college football’s winningest programs.
Pelini took over the Nebraska program in 2008 after coordinating LSU’s defense to a national title. He posted a 67-27 record over seven seasons and two different conferences, never winning less than nine games in Lincoln. Pelini’s tenure included four 10-win seasons, finishing ranked in the Top 25 in his last six. The high mark was his 2009 team which featured dominant defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and nearly upset Texas in the 2009 Big 12 title game.
Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst let Pelini go in November of 2014, citing the coach’s inability to win the big game. Pelini’s prickly personality reportedly played a part in the dismissal. Tapes of profane outbursts were leaked prior to and after firing.
Mike Riley was hired from Oregon State to replace Pelini. Riley was an odd fit at Nebraska and in the Big Ten and went 19-19 before being fired. He was replaced by former Nebraska quarterback Scott Frost, who was hired following an undefeated season at UCF in 2017. Frost is 9-15 through his first two years in Lincoln. Nebraska is 15-34 overall and has had one winning season in the five since Pelini’s firing

It's 27-34, in case any others needed some help.
I guess it was just funny to me. Also, you guys suck at maffs too. That's quite concerning
