Weis, Spurrier, Zook, Millen in Top Ten Flops of Decade (no RR)

Hands down has to be #1...worst hire in the history of the universe

Yeah, Millen should be ashamed to even go out in public let alone offer "advice" about football.

I love it when Steve Young just blasts him continuously on MNF. Millen looks like a deer in the headlights.

I appreciate Mr. Luft having enough sense to not include a coach after only two seasons, but I think he's wrong in many cases. I do think, however, that he might be talking about the most famous, archetypal flops of the 2000s rather than

First of all, the notion of Zook as a flop is ridiculous. I understand that Zook was succeeding Steve Spurrier and underachieved horribly with the huge amount of talent he had, but three 5-loss seasons--while very disappointing and probably grounds for firing in certain places--does not amount to biggest flop. Kragthorpe possibly belongs up there (yes, I know what I've said). Another candidate is Cam Cameron at Miami instead of Spurrier at Washington. Cam Cameron was a disaster there, but flop status might require high expectations, which he did not have.

Holy crap, and how could they forget the XFL? Not that it was expected to compete with the NFL, but that was a huge disaster.

Should hold spots 1-9 single handedly.

Journalism near the holidays; tis the season for Puff®.

...but the personnel he had to work with was. IIRC, he won more games his first year than the year preceeding him and mre his last year than the year after him. That does not qualify as a "flop." If I were going to grade Spurrier, I would have to give him an incomplete.

Because the establishment in the No Fun League was so against the Fun and Gun, it was called a "flop," but in reality we'll never know if it could have worked.
