Yeah, I mean Ron Turner FIU? Who even knew he was their coach?

I think Dooley lost extra points for his pants.

#1 and #2 shouldn't really be on that list in the first place.

Considering the number of coaching changes there have been the last 25 years, 11 is close enough to top 10 for me.

In fairness Grob and Shafer could both have made the list

Shafer won a bowl game in his first year

SEC bias

GRob (RIP) was obviously a bad football strategist and gameday coach. Trying to make that West Coast offense work with slow lumbering Perry Patterson and slow receivers still haunts me.

But in his defense, the relative success we had from 2010-2012 with two Pinstripe Bowl wins were with his recruits.

How could Ash only be 21st? I mean, I know it’s Rutgers and they are expected to be crap, but he made GROB look like Vince Lombardi

Some of his recruits. Marrone ran a lot of guys off. GRob was somehow able to nab a few skill position gems but was terrible at building a whole roster, especially in the trenches. Marrone used Juco transfers to immediately upgrade the oline and strengthened a number of other position groups with smart moves. Moving Hogue to LB was really smart.

I dont think Shafer was enough of an investment to be considered a mistake. He was a cheap continuity hire.

Colorado, Tennessee and Perdue are in there twice. Consistency in a very bad way.
