The source of the information below is not from a new article, posted last November, but I found it interesting. It names the worst ever coach of every BCS football program, two of which were former NDSU coaches. I apologize if this has been posted previously.

Darrell Mudra was named the worst coach in the history of Florida State.

Jim Wacker voted worst coach at Minnesota (can't believe it, there are so many others that were worse in my mind, including Punky Brewster).

I am a bit surprised that Don Morton wasn't voted the worst coach at Wisconsin. Jim Coatta was the choice, after going 3-26-1, but Morton had to be close at 6-27 in his career.

Interestingly, Jerry Moore was voted worst coach in Texas Tech's history. One of the pieces of evidence that proves the author is a bit clueless is he says Moore had had considerable success at DII Appy State.

Wacker
Won 29% of games
Won 20% of B10 games
Highest win total: 4
0 Bowl appearances

Brewster
Won 33% of games
Won 22% of B10 games
Highest win total: 7
2 Bowl appearances

Brewster did more than Wacker. Both were awful at Minnesota though.

Without reading the whole slideshow and fact checking, it looks like they just took the coach with the worst record. No attempt to consider that coach hired to turn around a struggling program is going to have a poor record the first few years, or the difference between losing 6 games in a year by one score each vs 2 blowouts by an FCS. Lazy reporters.

So you are assuming that the writers are assuming, essentially? That is a funny post.

From the first page of the article:

Keep in mind that this is just a record of how the coach performed while he was at the given school.

On the surface my post does seem a little hypocritical.

I interpreted that as they only took into account how the coach did at that particular school and they didn't consider any successes the coach had at other schools.

You have to wonder if this type of stuff makes Bohl pretty happy to be King of Fargo. Although, I am sure if Wisconsin or Florida St. came knocking, he'd be gone pretty fast.....

You can get paid pretty well to be the worst ever coach of a BCS school, these days (not saying Bohl would be one of the worst).
