[@cstains5543]

Fun fact, Walt Kiesling is the reason that Johnny Unitas, a native Pittsburgher and 2nd round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers, was ultimately cut by the team over the objections of almost every one of the rest of the staff. Walt supposedly told the Rooneys that Unitas would never be able to play quarterback at a professional level and was worthless as a prospect and just to add insult to injury told the Rooneys that he'd never play him if they kept him. He ran several players out of Pittsburgh most of whom turned out to be star players elsewhere. Literally the guy drove off about six to eight Hall of Fame players that were Steelers draft picks in his time there and slightly more All Pros as well. Without him the Steelers might have been the team to beat in the 1950s. And all that because the previous head coach had a heart attack and died shortly after the season was over causing the Steelers to bring in this pile of garbage.

[@robertmurdock1848]

Unitas was a 9th round draft pick in 1955.

[@davester1970]

If camp cutting Johnny Unitas wasn't bad enough, the Steelers passed up the chance to draft Jim Brown in 1957 to draft Len Dawson and let him rot on the bench until they traded him away to the Browns. To add insult to injury, the Steelers in 1958 and 1959 had Buddy Dial and Jimmy Orr who would follow Unitas to Baltimore and become his favorite target during the 1960's. The Steelers could have had Unitas under center and having the option to throw to Jimmy Orr, Buddy Dial or handing the rock off to Jim Brown. Those decisions in the mid to late 1950's doomed the Steelers to another 15-18 years of losing and necessitating the need for Chuck Noll to come in and clean up the mess.

[@paulh2426]

I've got to totally disagree on the Mike Singletary one. The 49ers have quite a few other coaches you could argue were the worst in franchise history. Erickson, Nolan, Tomsula, Kelly, are all contenders for that spot, and I know they had some miserable seasons prior to Bill Walsh taking over in the late 70s.

[@flibbidyx2]

Agreed, there were a lot worse than Singletary. Dennis Erickson is a legendary college coach, but was a disaster with the 49ers.

[@tygrkhat4087]

The worst coach in Bills' history is not Jim Ringo, it's Harvey Johnson. Johnson was a scout by trade, but took the coaching job twice as a favor to Ralph Wilson. In two separate seasons, 1968 and 1971, Johnson went 2-23-1, a winning percentage of 0.080. That is the worst coaching record for any NFL coach with 25 or more games coached.

[@carlhallowell3421]

Had to dig deep in the Steelers history book considering that we've had Hall of Fame coaching since 1969. Noll is in Canton, Cowher is in Canton, and theyve all but measured Tomlin for his gold jacket when he hands the job off.

[@davester1970]

You could pick anyone who ever coached the Steelers pre-Chuck Noll as the worst head coach in Steelers history and you wouldn’t be wrong. For the first 40 years of their existence, the Steelers were trash. It took Chuck Noll his first 3 years to defumigate that team of 40 years of toxic losing. Sad thing is that Walt Kiesling might have been the best head coach the Steelers had before Chuck Noll. In spite of the fact under his watch, the team camp cut Johnny Unitas, passed up the chance to draft Jim Brown and traded away Jimmy Orr, who would eventually be Unitas’ favorite target with the Colts. Could you imagine in the 50’s and 60’s having Unitas under center and having the option of either giving the rock to Jim Brown or throwing it to Jimmy Orr or Buddy Dial? Those three disastrous decisions doomed the Steelers to another 15-20 years of losing.

Patricia was worse than Marinelli. Rod was bad too but he had very little to work with, and at least he was likeable. Matt Patricia took over a team that was posting winning seasons but ownership wanted to take the next step.

Thinking of Rod brings back sad memories, but thinking of Patricia makes me mad

If Trestman were the head coach for the Bears in 2018, they would’ve won a playoff game. With Matt Eberflus, the Bears went 14 straight losses surrendering 25+ points in each game.

That 10-6 season was more like the apex. The team was only going to go downhill from there once Brian Urlacher left, but the offense improved significantly. The defense didn’t like how Lovie was fired and so Trestman never stood a chance to earn his team’s respect. Trestman never really stood a chance. I feel that Trestman is also definitely a better play caller than Matt Nagy and Trestman would’ve turned Trubisky into a franchise QB and won a playoff game in 2018.

I think Dennis Ericson has to be worse than Singletary. Singletary at least brought talent to the team. Ericson brought JT. Osullivan.

[@Poisonedblade]

Lane Kiffin was terrible, but Josh McDaniels is the WORST Raider Head Coach. He tanked the team and benched Carr, the 3x ProBowler who was carrying the rest of the team. In his first year, he had a team that could go deep into the playoffs full of PRO BOWLers... and won 6. In his second year, the offense averaged 14.6 ppg.

[@Sinic818]

Tom Flores was before my time. What came to mind for me for the Seahawks was Jim Mora Jr.

[@Losingsince]

Me too

[@morganpavia7634]

Jim Mora Jr was bad and I was one of many calling for him to be fired that first year, but Flores was attrocious. It was hard to watch the Seahawks in the 90s. I think Mora looks worse because he is the one year between Holmgren and Carroll where as Flores followed Chuck Knox who had some success but not nearly the levels of Holmgren and Carroll and his successor Dennis Erickson was only slightly better. So because Jim Mora Jr falls between the two most sucessful coaches in team history he wasnt really given a chance as Carroll became available after his first season and if you recall Pete stunk it up for his first 2 years too with back to back 7-9 seasons

2001 Panthers: Worst season in Panthers history. 2023 Panthers: Hold my beer

[@Douchemaster_McChest]

The difference between Paul Brown and his son, Mike, is that Paul was able to recognize when he made a mistake in hiring a bad head coach. Starting with passing over Bill Walsh for Paul's own buddy Tiger Johnson. Johnson was a below average head coach and the only reason he lasted as long as he did is because Paul didn't want to fire his buddy. So, he was given a longer leash. But the next head coach after Tiger Johnson was Homer Rice. He was terrible at the NFL level, despite being a local legend at the High School level, a good college assistant coach at Kentucky and Oklahoma, and less than average college head coach at Cincinnati and Rice. Homer was given a short leash with the Bengals and lasted less than 2 seasons. His greatest success was as Athletic Director at Georgia Tech. Anyway, when Paul died and Mike took over, less than one year later, Mike fired Sam Wyche due to Sam wasn't a "yes" man that Mike wanted. So Mike promoted Dave Shula as the next head coach. Dave lasted 4 1/2 years before being fired. If Paul had been around, Shula wouldn't have made it past year 2. After Dave was fired mid-season, Bruce Coslet was promoted to head coach (previously successful offensive coordinator for the Bengals in the '80s under Sam Wyche and head coach of the Jets for a few years.) Bruce took that 1-6 team left by Shula and finished going 7-2 the rest of the way, ending up with 8-8 record. That, unfortunately was Coslet's best season as Bengals HC, The Bengals got progressively worse each year under Coslet due to Mike Brown being cheap, drafting poorly and not spending money on bringing in decent free agents. Coslet resigned after a few games into the 2000 season due to frustration (and before Mike could fire him.) Next came the worst Bengals head coach, IMO, in Dick LeBeau. LeBeau was a slightly above defensive coach and coordinator for the Bengals in the '80s (he didn't shine as a defensive coordinator until both of his stints with the Steelers.) Between both his stints with the Steelers, he came back to the Bengals as defensive coordinator under Coslet and then Head Coach. He was a terrible as head coach and even Mike Brown saw that and quickly fired him, giving him less than two years. IMO, LeBeau was a much worse HC than Shula, though Shula and Homer Rice were both very bad. After LeBeau, Marvin Lewis was hired. Mike's old man would not had let Marvin stick around 16 years as Head Coach. But, Mike likes loyalty and Marvin was loyal, even earning some trust from Mike. Under Marvin, Mike allowed him to have some say in players being drafted, players signed as free agents, and increasing their paltry scouting department. Since Marvin got the Bengals to the playoffs 7 times in the '00s and '10s, after about 14 or 15 years of missing the playoffs throughout most of the '90s and first half of the '00s, Marvin was "safe" for a while despite never winning a playoff game. Finally, when Mike's daughter and granddaughter got more power in personnel decisions and running the organization, they were able to talk Mike into letting Marvin go and bringing in the current HC Zac Taylor. Believe me, Zac is not as good as a coach as most people think he is. He just happened to luck into Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, JaMarr Chase and some good free agent signings over the past few years. A handful of ex-Bengal head coaches could've had as much success, if not more, with those players on their team.

[@gothard5]

well said. Coslet and LeBeau were far worse than Shula, however, I thought Shula was HC during the Jeff Blake era where they went 7-9, 8-8, and 7-9.

[@Douchemaster_McChest]

Shula's final full season, he finished 7-9. In his final partial Season he was 1-6, even though the Bengals finished 8-8 after Coslet took over. Shula's first season as HC, was Boomer Esiason's last season during his first stint with the Bengals. At the end of that season, Esiason was traded to the Jets and Anthony Munoz missed most of that season due to injury. He retired before the start of the next season in which he went to Tampa as a favor to new Bucs coach Sam Wyche. Anyway, Carl Pickens was a rookie during Shula's first season. Jeff Blake didn't come along until a few years later into Shula's tenure. Shula had to suffer through Jay Schroeder and draft bust David Klingler in his second year and then went through a couple of journeymen after that before they got Blake. Blake lasted as starting QB for the remaining time under Shula and through the first 2 partial seasons under Coslet. Blake eventually lost his starting position to Boomer Esiason when Boomer came back to the Bengals for one year. After Boomer retired, Coslet had to suffer through Blake again, along with Neil O'Donnell, Scott Mitchell and huge bust Akili Smith. Corey Dillon was the bright spot on the Bengals during that time. LeBeau had the likes of Scott Mitchell and Akili Smith to suffer through his couple seasons as Head Coach until Jon Kitna came along, who was successful for Seattle previously and for the Bengals under Marvin Lewis' first year.

[@KG-xt4oq]

Probably already been mentioned, but Phil Bengston was NOT the worst Packers coach; that would be Ray McLean (1-10-1) followed closely by Lisle Blackbourn (4 seasons, 17-31) and Forrest Gregg (4 seasons, 25-37-1).

[@michaelmeyer2725]

I'd argue the following changes: Raiders - Josh McDaniels. 'Nuff said. Giants - Ray Handley. He was handed a Super Bowl winning team and went 14-18 over 2 seasons. Bob McAdoo wasn't a bad choice here, nor would Pat Shurmr have been one, but I think Handley was worse. Jets - Rich Kotite over Gase. Gase wasn't a bad choice here, but Kotite was 4-28, including a 1-15. Eagles - Chip Kelly. His complete dismantling of a decent team qualifies him.

[@stevelucido266]

Baltimore was NOT an expansion Franchise. They were formerly the original Cleveland Browns. Mike Singletary is BS. He had a 'blow up' with Vernon Davis in 2008, but what he did was call him on his crap. Vernon went on to have one of his best seasons in 2009 under Singletary. Singletary also built the team that Harbaugh would take to the Superbowl and lose, and then subsequently year by year get worse until he got fired. Spoiled 49'ers fans didn't have patience for Singletary to finish what he started. I think Chip Kelly would be a better candidate. I'm a Lions fan and I know that. Also, Marinelli was bad, no doubt, 0-16 is unforgivable but he had a box of crap from the disaster of a GM that was Mike Millen to work with. The worst coach we gave too many chances to was Mornhinweg. Even Marinelli won 10 games, Mornhinweg only won 5. Possibly the only coach to ever chose 'the wind' in a sudden death overtime game and give his opponent the ball.

Marchibroda wasn't totally bad, but I think a lot to do with it was that the Ravens were forced to gut almost everything as soon as the franchise arrived in Baltimore from Cleveland. If they didn't have an aging roster at the time, the Ravens would have been a playoff team. It's just too bad that they lacked fresh blood with him. Although once Billick arrived, Marvin Lewis became a defensive wizard of a DC. 7:10 Lane Kiffin took the job with the Tennessee Titans? No, it was the Tennessee Volunteers As a Lions fan, we’ve had our share of… bad coaching… but Matt Patricia came right to mind when I saw the title As a 49ers fan since 1981, I believe Jim Tomsula is the worst. He won a World Bowl recently with Rhein Fire but was a huge disappointment on the sidelines for the Niners. Raiders fans seeing Josh McDaniels on this list as the Bronco’s Worst Head Coach… I could have gone three ways with the chiefs. There was Herm Edwards who went 4-12 his first year then 2-14 his second year before they let him go. Then there's Romeo Cornell who went 2-1 as interim head coach but went 2-14 in his lone full season. Even though his record is not too horrible, Todd Haley was a terrible coach. His ego really screwed up his first year. Yeah, he did win a division title, but the AFC West was the tank division and it showed when they got humiliated by the Ravens at Arrowhead. As a redskins fan I think I’d go for Zorn over Spurrier. He was somehow more embarrassing (for example, swinging the gate). That is post-merger. Before the merger, they had some truly dire coaches.

It’s George SEE-fert, not SYE-fert. And while Walsh was a huge part of the Niners 80s/90s dynasty, Siefert’s defense was legendary. In all his years as DC for SF, the Niners were top 5 in defense almost every year. He won the SB his first year as HC in SF, won the division in 4 of the next 5 years and won his 2nd SB in 95. Managing a 15-17 record his first two years with Carolina was probably better than they should have done, and going 1-15 with Chris Weinke under center probably would have happened to anybody. I know Carolina has been more successful than some of their expansion team peers, but it’s hard to believe that Seifert is the worst coach they ever had for a couple of .500 seasons and one 1 win disaster.
