You can't spell scumbag without an M...

Just sayin': Hopefully the author will update the list (below) for 2025; it will be interesting to see where he thinks that Moore fits in.

Dumbest Ways Coaches Got Fired in Sports History

updated on November 27, 2024

1. Bobby Petrino

Bottom line: Bobby Petrino’s firing at the University of Arkansas operated on several different levels of dumb.

The part that got him fired was his affair with former Arkansas volleyball player and assistant recruiting coordinator Jessica Dorrell. After the couple were involved in a motorcycle crash in which Petrino was severely injured, details of their relationship came to light — that included a $20,000 cash present from Petrino along with securing her job on the football staff.

Petrino lied to athletic director Jeff Long about the affair — including that she was on the motorcycle with him — and only came clean when he realized her name was going to be on the police report. Long fired Petrino, who seemed to have Arkansas on the brink of being a national title contender. That’s the other dumb part.

2. Dave Bliss

Bottom line: The crookedest, dumbest coach to ever walk a college basketball sideline was probably Dave Bliss — that doesn’t account for how dangerous he was.

Bliss tried to do no less than cover up a murder while he was at Baylor in 2003 when one of his players, Patrick Dennehy, was murdered by teammate Carlton Dotson, and Bliss tried to frame Dennehy after the murder as a drug dealer.

Bliss did so in order to cover up his own crimes — he was illegally paying the tuition of Dennehy and another player and wound up with a 10-year “show cause” notice for his actions.

3. Mike Price

Bottom line: It’s a shame that you can’t mention Mike Price’s name without recalling the worst incident of his career because it has completely overshadowed an almost 50-year career in coaching, including almost 30 years as a head coach.

Price made the power move of leaving Washington State for the University of Alabama in 2002. But he was fired before ever coaching a game thanks to a wild trip to Pensacola, Florida, in which Price had nearly $1,000 racked up in room service fees on a school credit card by a pair of local exotic dancers. This was after Price had already been warned for drinking excessively at bars near the Tuscaloosa campus.

Covered up a murder and tried to frame the victim, still got less years of show cause than Jim Harbaugh.
