For Miami, it’s Don Treadwell. Had a great resume on paper (Miami alum, Michigan State OC) but did not know anything about leading a football program. A few hits include:
-Took over 10-win MAC champion with most starters returning, immediately tanked to two 4-8 seasons (only that good because we had a future NFL draftee at QB) followed by 0-12 (fired after five games) -Hired an OC best known for losing 32 in a row as a DII head coach -Thought that modern strength training made players slow, he scrapped our S&C program in favor of a routine featuring jumping jacks -Signed his son at RB and gave him significant playing time even though he didn’t have any other DI offers -Sensing that our OL was decimated after his first two seasons, switched us to a triple option offense despite him, the staff, and roster having no experience with it
The results were predictably lousy as stated above. Who else from your team was also a total doofus, and what stories do you have from their tenure?
