Poll: Most hated coach in America over the past 10 years

[psuguy43]

This is to the general public, not fans of a specific school.

Would you say that it's:
A. DJ Durkin
B. Joe Paterno
C. Urban Myer

(anyone else in contention? And Saban doesn't count, because that hatred is jealousy)

Who gets your vote (well, not *your* vote, but who do you think the general public has picked up the largest pitchfork against?

It should be Durkin-Meyer-Paterno in my opinion but the general public would probably say Paterno because they believe the original narrative. I'm not sure who would be second.

I tend to think the same, initially by a loonngg shot, but seeing even UMD's players, fan, and the governor of the state turn on the school for keeping DJ has me thinking that the gap may not be so wide.

Weird list. Not sure why Urban Meyer is on it. I don’t like him but I think most sports fans think of him like Saban.

Who would you put in his place? Or, who would you add?

what about Brian Kelly?

what about Brian Kelly?

He'd be my personal #1
RIP Declan Sullivan

 

[psuguy43]

what about Brian Kelly?

What has he been accused of beyond coaching ND?

Why Kelly over urban? If it's to the general public, it's easily paterno

 

[danvillenit]

I don’t like Kelly either but the op said the general public. That pretty much requires a scandal

 

[psuguy43]

Why Kelly over urban? If it's to the general public, it's easily paterno

Ok, how about general college football fans?

 

[Nitt1300]

Killing a kid

Still Paterno. Lot has to do with the subject matter.

 

[Bluetongs]

When I think of douchebag coaches, guys like petrino and schiano come to mind

Urban never killed someone (at least not that we know of).

 

[PennStateNate]

I am not a fan of Urban, but only because he owns Penn State. Kelly should be #1, only time I rooted for Pitt and Michigan and its not even I dislike ND, ND has a great tradition, but that guy is smug c$$ks$$ker

 

[Bluetongs]

Urban never killed someone (that we know of).

Neither did kelly

 

[Lion8286]

Neither did kelly

Deceased Declan Sullivan says hello.

 

[2020 is Our Year]

Neither did kelly

Declan Sullivan's family likely disagrees with you and if they don't they should

 

[Bluetongs]

Deceased Declan Sullivan says hello.

I'm familiar with the story. If u think kelly killed him, we can agree to disagree. This is coming from someone that's disliked kelly back from his central michigan days

 

[LionDeNittany]

Deceased Declan Sullivan says hello.

In that vein I blame Paterno for Langston Carraway's death.

Goodie for you.

And you can do that. I don't believe recruiting/keeping Chisley is the same but if you do.

I did not vote. I question the merits of a "Most hated" poll on this board that includes Joe Paterno as one of only 3 choices. Why give trolls a reason to dump on Joe? Had it been limited to living coaches I might find it more acceptable.
