Oh I got another good one - Ty Willingham’s 0-12 2008 Washington Huskies.

Very entertaining wondering week by week whether they’d win a single game (No!). Their best chance came with a road trip Vs 1-10 Washington State in the crApple Cup (as that particular edition is known). A wooly hatted Willingham trotted his Huskies into the snowy air and held the lead for most of the game before allowing a long late pass that set up the Coug’s tying FG, all before getting outlasted in OT.

That Wazzu team under Wulff  was historically awful.  They were brutalized often and had one of the worst statistical teams in P5 of the past generation. 

I believe that was same yr of Weis' epic offensive disaster at ND.

ND was 3-9 in 2007 (also the year they ended the 43-year win streak over Navy). Half a game worse than the Huskies the same year under Willingham (4-9). In 2008, they actually made it all the way to 7-6, and a bowl win (!) (over Hawaii). Weis made it another year, finishing 6-6 in 2009, and fired immediately after the loss to Stanford Thanksgiving weekend.

Willingham had a .229 winning percentage at Washington. That's bad.

was going to make a joke about that being a decent batting average, but it isn't even that.
