25. Tony Sparano

Years active: 2008-2011
Win-Loss record: 29-31
Team(s) coached: Miami Dolphins

It's hard to call Tony Sparano a terrible coach, as he engineered one of the greatest turnarounds in NFL history in his first season with the Miami Dolphins, but the fact that he failed to make these changes stick is telling. After Cam Cameron had led the Dolphins to a 1-15 record in his only season with the team, Sparano righted the ship and took them to a 11-5 record the following year with most of the press gravitating toward his "Wildcat" offense. It was the franchise's first playoff appearance in seven seasons, and remains their only appearance since. However, Sparano failed to keep this momentum going, and the team had back-to-back 7-9 seasons before he was fired near the end of his fourth year.
Now an assistant head coach with the Raiders, Sparano has a better shot than most to end up with another head coaching gig someday, but we still wouldn't bet on it.

15. Nick Saban


Years active: 2005-2006
Win-Loss record: 15-17
Team(s) coached: Miami Dolphins

Sure, Nick Saban has had uncommon success as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide and the LSU Tigers, but he certainly wasn't cut out for the NFL when he took over as the Miami Dolphins head coach in 2005. Saban experienced his first losing season as a head coach when the team ended up with a 6-10 regular season record in 2006, and fled for Bama shortly thereafter. However, as none of us have forgotten, Saban was famously evasive about the job, going so far as to say that he would not be the Alabama head coach just days before he left. However, in the end, it's safe to say that Saban got the better end of the deal on this one.

Horrible article. So let me get this straight Nick Saban was a worse NFL coach than Lane Kiffin and his 5 total wins. Also the premise to eliminate coaches who only coached one year was beyond stupid.
 
Norv Turner and Jason Garrett should be on there. Caldwell too.
 
Several years later...more Nick.....Let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This thread regretfully brings me back to the end of this season and reminds me of what a loser franchise this is. Pfft.

Thanks alot OP

Any list of this nature that doesn't feature Wanny in a starring role is flawed.
 
I hated Saban and always root against him . Loved it when Alabama got beat out of top spot this year. And of course I also hate that clueless moron Cam Cameron also.

He's obviously not clueless, or a moron.


He's a bad NFL HC. He's obviously did well and is doing well at Alabama. IT wasn't Alabama's offence that fariled them.
