These Are The DUMBEST Coaches In NFL History...

Throughout the entirety of NFL history, NFL coaches have been very important, but remember for every good coach, there are two bad ones. So in this video, I thought it would be fun to look back and find the worst coaches in NFL history. Anyway, if you enjoyed this video at all then like and comment if you want, and you can even subscribe if you think I've earned it.
Now that SB Nation took down the dark forces of Barry McCockiner, we now have a ton of NFL highlights and clips from Tom Grossi. Hopefully, the worst coaches to win a super bowl can team up with the worst NFL coaches of all time to beat Tom Brady. Also if Urban Meyer ever becomes one of the worst head coaches, then TPS and KTO will have to make a video covering NFL free agency.

Another one you should have added was Matt Patricia; this dude literally turned a playoff team into a losing record in record time. Past Lions players say he would run the team like a drill sergeant and would always say he was dealt a bad hand to begin with, which, if you look now, is ironic since Campbell has turned it around from the crap that was left by him.

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

If you want a laugh you should search Bill Peterson, head coach of the Houston Oilers in the early 1970s. He had some very Yogi Berra-like quotes such as “line up alphabetically by height” and “pair up in groups of three then line up in a circle”, and it was painfully obvious that whether it was on purpose or not, he was not very respected at all by his players. He only lasted one and a half seasons and went 1-18 😂

Jackson's replacement Freddie Kitchens was awful too. The Browns were picked by some as Super Bowl contenders after he was hired but ended up with a 5-11 team and was fired after one season. He had the same number of wins as Gregg Williams a year earlier but Williams was only head coach for half the season. Petrino was so bad he makes Mike Smith look like he deserved those Coach of the Year awards. And he's still pulling his shenanigans, as he accepted a coordinator job at UNLV recently, only to take another coordinator job at Texas A&M days later without ever being part of a game for UNLV. Meanwhile, I don't think there's been a more clueless looking head coach than Rich Kotite.

And Norv Turner and Lane Kiffin sandwiched his ridiculous 2006 abominations with just 4 wins and they weren't sitting on their couch eating Cheetos's on Sundays for 6 years.

But oh man, was he worse than I could've imagined. Urban Meyer was a slow motion train wreck that I think's even tarnished his legacy as a college coach.

A few "highlightes": Punted away the golden chance to beat high powered NE in 2007, one game away from the SB... Managed to waste a 2010 Chargers team finishing the season 1st in passing offense AND defense efficiency. Such rare teams go at least 14-2, blowing out oponents at will... this team finished 9-7, missing the playoffs. How he did that? Letting his RBs run straight into a wall of meat on basically every 1st down. Generally speaking: He wasted the golden era of the Chargers. If Marty Schottenheimer was timid, the smurf reached levels unseen before. In that regard Schott was aggresive and explosive in comparison. Guy never led his QBs audible at the LOS. Guy always punted on 4th and 1 from outside the opponent 30 yard line. Miserable clock "management". So how did he got all those HC jobs? Well, Aikman was his advocate. That might have been the biggest sin Troy ever did. Anyway, no one will reach Turners incompetence. Never.

@@swaymcthunder1219 exactly!

[@edman813]

Hue wasn't the reason the Raiders succeeded that season, if anything he was the problem and the catalyst to how they continued to fail at least until 2016, where Mr. Jackson went 1-15 coincidentally and they went 12-4. As someone who has spent crazy amounts of time studying the failures of the Hue Jackson era Browns the same failures were noticeable during his time as a Raider too, like his ego, the man threw his team under the bus occasionally like his Week 17 game, along with inspite of having talent like Carson Palmer, he went from 7-4 to 8-8, how did he even go 7-4 in the first place? His opponents were very mediocre teams (minus the Bears and Texans) that the Raiders BARELY beat especially when the AFC West that year was a joke. Which was the same issue in Cleveland, he barely lost but there because he was one of the biggest bunglers to ever exist, in Oakland his opponents instead outbungled the bungle master. In short it's a miracle of miracles that Hue Jackson was even able to have 7 games and win them with 1 score, because if his time as a Brown proved those situations could have gone much worse, he was just lucky his opponents weren't great coached teams like the Patriots or Steelers tier coaching.

[@crater044]

I've been watching the 1990 season and I'll offer a counter for Rod Rust. Remember, the Patriots were not a great team coming into the season. Their QB, Steve Grogan, was entering his last season and his body was beat to shit, which immediately hurt their offense. Their defense was rock solid though. The defense proved their worth in Week 1 because they forced Miami to turn the ball over 4 times (3 Marino picks and a Sammie Smith fumble)......the Pats made one stupid play all game and it cost them (they tried a fake FG and fucked up). That game was closer than you think and the Dolphins got fucking lucky to win that game. Your point about them beating the Colts in Week 2 doesn't work either. Yes, they had Jeff George but he was a rookie. He played well in Week 1 against the Bills but he got knocked out of the game with a concussion, which was why they lost. The Pats defense basically embarrassed George with him throwing 4 picks. Yea they went 1-15 the next season but that has nothing to do with why the Pats beat the Colts (plus it lacks context of why the Colts went 1-15 next season......there were reasons). I also believe Rod Rust lost respect for the team after the Lisa Olsen incident......not just the other way around. That whole thing was an embarrassment for the Pats organization and they were the most hated team in the league.....they deserved to lose the rest of their games. It also didn't help that Grogan didn't play in Week 3 and would get knocked into retirement in Week 9 against the Eagles so the Pats had Marc Wilson at QB, who was an aging veteran that wasn't very good. The Pats offense sucked in 1990......their defense tried but with no help from the offense, they just couldn't stop teams (look no further than the rematch with Miami.......the Pats forced FIVE turnovers yet all they managed with those five turnovers was 3 points......and a very late TD to only score 10 points). I don't think anybody could have saved that Pats team......Rust was just the whipping boy.
