Dave Wannstedt the Worst Coach Ever?

If Dave Wannstedt ever finds himself out of coaching, he should consider a job in the home demolition business.

In my era, I have never seen a worse coach. Anywhere he goes, he drives that football team right into the ground.

First, it was the Chicago Bears, next it was the Miami Dolphins, and now it's the Pitt Panthers.

Wannstedt boasts a whopping 13-19 record against FBS opponents since his arrival at Pitt. He has had three years of failure and the Panthers have yet to reach a bowl game under his regime.

However, prior to his arrival, Pitt had appeared in five straight bowls.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Everything that Wannstedt touches turns to garbage. He's got the Midas touch of sucking.

Some people might claim that Wannstedt has recruited well for the Panthers over his coaching regime, and that he has really built the program.  I say, who cares if you can't win football games?

Wannstedt needs to have a bowl appearance this year, or he should be fired—even though he should have been fired a long time ago.

Since riding Jimmy Johnson's coat tails, Wannstedt has done nothing but bring pain to his fanbases.

This year doesn't look good for the Panthers either.  Yes, they have McCoy.  Yes, they are not decimated by injury as they were last season.  But Wannstedt will find a way to lose. He's just that type of guy.
