With all the debate of who should or shouldn't be hired to the football coaching staff, I got to thinking; Who would be on my All-Garbage Gamecock Coaching Staff?
I don't have the brain-power nor desire for heavy research right now, but I'll give a few of my choices.
Head Coach: For me, this clearly is a two-man battle between Brad Scott and Sparky Woods. Brad did actually win our first bowl game, while Sparky never coached in a bowl game. (That's another fun conversation to have...exactly how stupid was our administration in 1989 and 1990 to actually TURN DOWN bowl offers? I remember the company line was that the bowl would interfere with exam schedules and attending would be cost-prohibitive for the team. Still, Sparky left here on much better terms, and left a much better team in place. So, worst head coach=Brad Scott
Offensive Coordinator: I want to place Al Groh here, for his lack of identity during the 1988 season...but instead, I name Skip Holtz. Yeah, skip doesn't deserve all of the blame for what our offense became from 2002-4 (everyone remembers quarterback draw, quarterback draw, long fade pass that goes out of bounds because Lou is scared of turnovers). But still...
Defensive Coordinator: Wally Burnham. No reasons needed.
