His team won 14 games over two seasons. It would have taken Hue decades to reach that victory total.Ray Handley
Fisher was pretty good for a long time before he got bad.Jeff Fischer was pretty ### #### bad. His team went from 4-12 to 11-5 with very similar personnel...
Romeo Crennel was also pretty spectacular at being bad.
Rod Marinelli or Marty Morhinwhig may have been worse...
Lane Kiffin anyone?“He’s a gutless *******. Quote that. I don’t give a s#!t,” Zimmer said Wednesday, according to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
When Zimmer was told that responsible news organization may not be able to use “*******,” Zimmer responded:
“How about this, gutless MotherF@$#&r. You can use that.”
Fun read even though it’s dated. Darkness with Harkness is an inspired choice.
Mangini doesn’t even crack the top 3 worst Jets coaches.Eric Mangini needs a mention, no?
That's what makes Fisher so impressively horrible. The guy made it to a Super Bowl on the back of a great QB, RB and defense. Then proceeded to take the next 15 years proving how epically bad he really was at coaching.Sorry, but those throwing out coaches who have been to the SB are not being legit.
Fisher went to a SB, he cant be mentioned with Hue who had a Winless season. Keep perspective.
Coaches that led teams to winless seasons are your winners.
Pretty easy question for those not trying to bring in bias and showing personal hate for a coach.
I also dont care about every sport regardless of this thread title...This isnt Baseballguys, Hockeyguys or Basketballguys or even Soccerguys...its Footballguys, so I'll keep it to discussing the sport in question on this site.
Sadly, Browns too.Mangini doesn’t even crack the top 3 worst Jets coaches.
I asked, and the Magic 8 Ball says...."Yes, Definitely"Is Hue Jackson the worst coach in history of pro sports?
This is the only correct answer.Rich Kotite.
Hue Jackson: Hold my beer.....Fun fact: In Kotite's first year as a HC, he was in possession of the greatest defensive unit of all time by FO's DVOA. Not only was it #1, the DVOA gap between them and the #2 '86 Bears is greater than the gap between #2 and #12. And he didn't even make the playoffs with them! That's (almost literally, in DVOA terms) the equivalent of missing the playoffs with the 2007 Patriots offense. I genuinely don't think even Hue Jackson could have accomplished that feat.

Alright Baker - bring us a Lombardi next year.The OP said all of sports so I have to submit John MacLean during his brief stint coaching the Devils.
The team had a 9-22-2 record when he was fired and the team brought back Jacques Lemaire. They went 1-7-0 in Lemaire's first 8 games back...
....then went on a 22-3-2 tear. Which is about as big of an indictment of MacLean as you can make. Team went to the Stanely Cup Final the next year.

(Devils lost in that final)Alright Baker - bring us a Lombardi next year.
I'd like my chances in a bar fight if I have both of them by my side.(Devils lost in that final)
Oh and Gregg Williams is no Jacques Lemaire![]()

That team had absolutely no offense after Randall Cunningham (and Keith Jackson) got hurt in Week 1. This was more the fault of his predecessor, Buddy Ryan, who didn't care about offense in the slightest, and the front office, who did not surround Cunningham with much talent on that side of the ball. But Kotite was definitely not the guy to rally the team in the face of adversity.Mr. Irrelevant said:This is the only correct answer.

The tebow debacle puts him in the mix. If you are so dumb that you think he was NFL QB material, you rank as one of the worst ever.Josh McDaniels
