Wednesday, October 16 is Nationwide Boss’s Day. Whether or not you like your boss or hate them doesn’t matter to us. We’re right here to rank the three worst bosses in sports activities proper now.
And it’s exhausting to imagine that Invoice Belichick is ineligible to make the record this 12 months. There’s all the time subsequent 12 months.
3. Shad Khan, Proprietor, Jacksonville Jaguars
Khan purchased the Jaguars in 2012. Since then, they’ve had the worst document within the NFL at 61-140. Even the New York Jets have gained 71 video games since 2012. Paradoxically, the Cleveland Browns have additionally gained simply 71 video games since 2012, the identical 12 months Jimmy Haslam bought the staff.
Humorous that the Browns, Jets and Jaguars all have bosses that appear inept. However Khan’s Jaguars have 10 fewer victories than the following two worst groups. That’s fairly unhealthy.
After Gus Bradley went 14-28 as the pinnacle coach of the Jaguars, Khan changed him with Doug Merrone, and issues began to lookup for the group. In Merrone’s first season as the pinnacle coach, he introduced the Jaguars to the AFC Championship. However Blake Bortles couldn’t defeat Tom Brady’s New England Patriots.
Over his subsequent three seasons, Merrone completed in final place of the AFC South and didn’t return to the playoffs. In 2020, the Jaguars solely gained a single recreation, awarding them the No. 1 total decide, which might turn out to be Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence.
Too unhealthy Khan employed City Meyer to teach him. What a catastrophe, because the once-famed school coach was a comedy of errors that included inappropriate dancing in school bars and assaulting his kicker, Josh Lambo.
Maybe Belichick will turn out to be eligible to crack this record in 2025 if Khan faucets him as the brand new coach of the Jaguars. Certainly that will not backfire.
2. Trent Dilfer, Head Coach, UAB
supply: Getty Photos Dilfer is arguably a worse coach than he was quarterback. Ah, come on. That’s in all probability not being honest to the man that threw 129 interceptions to 113 touchdowns all through his NFL profession.
After spending 13 years within the NFL, Dilfer dabbled in broadcasting earlier than happening to teach highschool soccer. In 2022, he was employed as the pinnacle coach of the College of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). He’ll be the primary to remind you, it’s not Alabama.
He severely referred to as his kids as much as the rostrum with him after a 41-18 blowout as a result of “it’s not like that is freaking Alabama.”
Dilfer inherited a superb UAB staff and has sunk the ship in simply two seasons. He’s 5-13 as their head coach, and he consistently appears to have extra questions than options on flip this system round.
It looks like it’s solely a matter of time earlier than UAB decides to go in a special route.
1. John Fisher, Proprietor, Oakland Athletic’s
Obligatory Credit score: Kelley L Cox-Imagn Photos The primary two bosses on this record have been simply flat out unhealthy at their jobs. Not solely does Fisher personal one of the crucial irrelevant entities in skilled sports activities, however he additionally made a big ass out of himself in 2024.
Until you reside below a rock, you already know that the A’s are transferring to Las Vegas. That’s concerning the largest story surrounding the staff in fairly a while.
The A’s gained the World Sequence in 1989. Since then, the furthest they’ve ever made it was the Nationwide League Championship Sequence in 2006, which was Fisher’s first season proudly owning the staff. Ever since? They haven’t made it out of the division sequence.
However let’s depart their failures alone. Fisher determined to maneuver the staff out of Oakland as a result of town was unable to succeed in an settlement with him on a brand new stadium.
What’s higher? He actually didn’t have a lot of a backup plan. The A’s gained’t play video games in Las Vegas till the 2028 MLB season. Within the meantime, Oakland will play their subsequent three seasons at Sutter Well being Park in Sacramento, residence of the River Cats, the AAA associates of the San Francisco Giants.
