    UAB's Dilfer Disaster and The Worst Coach Hires of the Past 15 Years

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Since UAB hired Trent Dilfer before the 2023 season, a once-solid program has become one of college football’s worst teams. Rodger Sherman, who wrote an excellent feature about the flawed ideology behind the hire, joins Richard, Godfrey, and Alex to discuss how UAB set itself up to fail with a hire that made no strategic or cultural sense. Then, Rodger and the SZD hosts hold a three-round draft of the worst coaching hires of the past 15 years. It’s a walk down memory lane not just of hires who didn’t win, but of hires that were unwise at the time they were made. Let’s see what lessons we can learn.
