Who was a coach your team hired (can be head or assistant) that was universally praised by the fanbase upon arrival only for the on-field results to be a complete disaster?

For us Kerry Coombs is easily the best example of this. Almost everyone in the fanbase supported that hire when he was brought back as DC in 2020 because of his incredibly successful previous run as CBs coach under Urban (developed 5 first round corners in 5 years coaching corners and one of the best recruiters on staff at the time). Lo and behold promoting him to DC was beyond his level of qualification (even though that was the only thing that would’ve convinced him to return to Ohio State at the time).
