Most Disappointing College Football Coaching Eras

2. Gary Barnett - Colorado – (1999-2005) Why? Because he was alleged to have enticed recruits to come to Colorado with sex and alcohol during recruiting visits causing the school to self-impose harsher recruiting rules than any other Division I-A school. Because of his comments about former placekicker Katie Hnida, who alleged that she had been raped by a teammate, led to Barnett's temporary suspension in 2004 during the off-season. Because the Buffs got blown out 70-3 to Texas in his final game as coach in 2005.
