Probably a ton of schools. Ron Turner, Ron Zook, Tim Beckman, Bill Cubit, that's just this century. Koenning might count too but he was just interim for a bowl game.

"A ton of schools" is not the correct answer for "I wonder who has the most"

they're all tied, you see

seriously though Illinois since 78 had
Moeller - I think he was fired? 6 wins in 3 years
Mike white- resigned under NCAA investigation
Mackovick- went to Texas.
Tepper-fired
Turner- fired
Zook-fired
Koenning- was interim, let go, not sure if counts
Beckman-fired
Cubit-fired

so 6 firings , 1 resignation before getting fired and an interim one gone. so 8 at most, 6 at least.

Dantonio didn't get hired directly from Saban's team but his scheme and style of play is a lot more heavily influenced by his time with Saban than it was by Tressell.

Calling Kiffin a Saban assistant is true but only kinda, it was three years where by all accounts they fought constantly, I don't think he absorbed a lot. I do agree that he's probably a lovely head coach, although he's doing fine at FAU (in a complete tire fire of a conference)

As a random stab for a guess from 1978 on:

KU Football, I'm assuming they were fired if they didn't coach again until we get to when I know if they were fired or not:

Bud Moore: went 17-27-1 from 1975-1978
Don Fambrough who earlier coached Kansas: 1971-1974, then 1979-1982. 36-49-5 overall. As an aside Fambrough is the guy who would come in to give a speech tell lies about the state of Missouri every year until he died.
Bob Valesente: 1986-87, 4-17-1
Terry Allen: 1997-2001, 20-33
Mark Mangino: 2002-2009, 50-48. Insert Orange bowl picture here
Turner Gill: 2010-2011, 5-19. The beginning of modern Kansas Football
Charlie Weis: 2012-2014, 6-22.
(slightly preemptive) David Beatty: 3-26.

So that's 7 or 8 for KU, however you want to count it.

I wonder who has had most head coach firings in this time, if we limit it to P5 teams.

Tennessee has 3, likely soon to be 4.

Johnny Majors was HC in 1978, started in 77' though. Was "forced to resign" in '92 so I'll count that as firing.
Phil Fulmer was there '92-08 and fired for Kiffin
Kiffin left of his own accord (bastard)
Dooley fired in '12
Butch likely won't last the season.

Texas A&M has fired 6 since 1978

Emory Ballard (1972-78, 52-28-1) FIRED - good, not good enough
Tom Wilson (1978-81, 17-17) FIRED - sucked
Jackie Sherrill (1982-88, 52-29) FIRED - great, nearly got program the death penalty
R.C. Slocum (1989-2002, 123-47-2) FIRED - good, not good enough
Dennis Franchione (2003-2007, 32-28) FIRED - sucked
Mike Sherman (2008-2011, 25-25) FIRED - built a god-tier offensive line, but still sucked

Kevin Sumlin (2012-, 44-21) ????

Fun Facts:
The last Texas A&M coach whose tenure wasn't ended by firing or resignation under pressure was Bear Bryant in 1957.

The last head coach to retire at A&M was Homer Norton (coached from 1934 to 1947).

Tech's has been:

Rex Dockery (Fired after 3 seasons)
Jerry Moore (Fired after 5 seasons)
David McWilliams (Jumped to UT after 1 season at TTU)
Spike Dykes (Fired after 13 seasons of Dykesian mediocrity)
Mike Leach (Fired because he told the Chancellor to gently caress off)
(Interim) Ruffin McNeill (Should have been retained)
Tommy Tuberville (Would have been fired had he not jumped to Cincinatti)
(Interim) Chris Thomsen (Not retained)
Kliff Kingsbury (In his 5th season)

So I'm going to claim Tuberville was fired (since he was going to be the next season, no doubt), but that makes it just 5 firings, with one begin after 13 years, another after 9 years.

The 4 coaches that have purposefully left Texas Tech to go coach at other schools (Carlen, Sloan, McWilliams, and Tuberville) were each fired for poor results at their next stop, though they all lasted at least 4 seasons and Jim Carlen made it 8.

Since 1978 UF has fired:

Dickey 78
Pell 84 (resigned bc of NCAA investigation, does that count?)
Hall 89 (forced resignation)
Zook 04
Muschamp 14

Mac looks like he's on the way if he doesn't make some big changes next year.

That feels like a lot at a place like UF, considering Spurrier was there for 12 years, and Meyer coached 6 before retiring.

Howard Schnellenberger 79-83(Left to go to the USFL. OOPS)

Jimmy Johnson 84-88 (Left to go to the NFL)

Dennis Erickson 89-94 (Left to go to the NFL and to escape sanctions)

Butch Davis 95-00 (Left to go to the browns in the worst career move possible)

Larry Coker 01-06 (Fired for being the worst championship winning "coach" of all time)

Randy Shannon 07-10 (Fired for being a terrible head coach, including blaming "the long walk from the locker room to the field" in his loss to Duke)

Jeff Stoutland: INTERIM (LOST IN SUNBOWL AND MADE AL GOLDEN SAY WE LOOKED SOFT)

Al Golden 11-15 (Fired for being terrible. Fans still consider flying FIRE AL GOLDEN planes at Lions games since he's the TE coach there)

Larry Scott: INTERIM COACH (Allowed a half back pass in the snow in a bowl game.)

Mark Richt: 16-current (probably good?????)


So we've had 4 full time coach firings, a couple interim coaches that didn't stand a chance, and a bunch of people that went to the NFL.

Andersen (Sept. 20): "I hired the wrong (expletive) guys and are still working our way through a bunch of recruiting years that stunk!! It's year three! If these (expletives) can't get it right I will not just say fire them and start over!! That's not the way to go about it. If I (expletive) it up that bad I will take the bullet and ride off into the sunset! I will stay old school!! I will not die doing this (expletive)!! Stay tuned!"

Andersen (Sept. 24): "Need five graduate transfers in this class!!... I am in a good spot. Got a lot of '(expletive) everything' in me and that's when I am at my best!! Staff understands their (expletive) is on a short rope!! We are not great today but I expect to be better as we move forward this season!! I like this fight!"

Andersen (Oct. 1): "I could give a flying (expletive) about natives! I have not looked or listened to any of that (expletive) good or bad... My plan won't change. Coach my (expletive) off for these kids seven more times!! They will get all I got!! ... I will grind for these fans they deserve that!!!"

gently caress it I'll do Mizzou

--Dan Devine: '58-'70, 93-37-7. hired to replace some guy named Broyles who went to Arkansas. shoulda won the national title in '60 but loving Kansas. took Mizzou to a fair few bowl games and did well. went to the Green Bay Packers to be the guy who replaced The Guy.

--Al Onofrio: '71-'77, 20-29. this was when the Tigers would beat Alabama or Ohio State away one week and lose at home to Colorado the next. quite literally fired for "failure to beat Kansas". didn't coach again.

--Warren Powers: '78-'84, 46-33-3. a bit controversial because he played his college ball at Nebraska but beating the Huskers in his first season did a lot to change minds. recruited Kellen Winslow and his Tigers did well in bowls and held their own in a Big 8 where the best you could finish was 3rd, because this was when Nebraska and Oklahoma were absurd under Dr. Tom/Barry Switzer. retired.

--Woody Wiedenhofer: '85-'88, 12-31-1. came in with a ton of hype because he was both a TRUE SON® and on staff/D-coord for the Steel Curtain. problem is the success of the '70s Steelers defense was less his scheme and more their steroids. sucked (though he was hampered by then-chancellor Babs Uehling, who wanted to increase admission standards for football players to make us "the Stanford of the Big 8" in her words), went to Vanderbilt, and sucked there.

--Bob Stull: '89-'93, 15-38-2. did okay at UTEP before, which then as now is a tough place to coach/recruit. faced the same academic restrictions as Woody with similar results, though his biggest thing was running a more open offense--his OC was Dirk Koetter, who went afterwards to Boise State and started that whole thing. went into athletic administration after getting fired, and was UTEP's AD for a while. still hates and won't forgive Bill McCartney no matter how many loving Promise Keepers things the latter man does.

--Larry Smith: '94-2000, 33-46-1. also had a ton of hype because he was at USC before Mizzou and wasn't half bad there, although he did tail off towards the end of his tenure (this was also when UCLA started the eight-game City Championship winning streak). his teams had the first winning seasons/bowl bids since '83: I was at the game in '97 against Baylor when they won and punched their ticket to the Holiday Bowl, and I'm still pissed my dad wouldn't let me rush the field. also, gently caress you Matt Davison. like at 'SC he tailed off towards the end of his time there, but that was because he had also been diagnosed with leukemia and thus had other things on his mind. half-fired, half-retired.

--Gary Pinkel: 2001-2015, 118-73. did a good job at Toledo but a lot of people were angry we didn't hire Jim Tressel over him, and for the first few years of their respective times it seemed like the pro-Sweatervest crowd was right and we were doing things like getting ranked then immediately losing at Troy. then came the '05 Independence Bowl, when Mizzou brawled their way back against OBC's South Carolina to win, and it was all great from there. beating Nebraska multiple times On A Cold Wet Night In Columbia, Daniel-to-Maclin, SPOOOOOOOOON, Sod Reesing, Sod Reesing II: The Firing, The Moe Miracle, D-Line-Zou, those Cotton Bowl wins, recruiting pipelines and increased support state- and nation-wide...all his doing. then it all started crumbling in 2015 with the team strike/CS1950 protests and the announcement that he had been diagnosed with cancer. retired with his head held high.

--Barry Odom: 2016-now, lovely. he's Kim Anderson in a headset, a TRUE SON® hired by our lovely old AD to appease old geezers in loving Cooter, MO that their team wasn't being controlled by "the Canadians". admittedly many of the problems he has (like declining enrollment and funding) aren't his fault and are more because Clay Travis and Barstool Sports still bang on about "safe spaces" two years after the protests/strike and kids are loving morons who prefer these days to go to Southwest Missouri State, but he's going to gently caress up the best in-state recruiting class in memory while Kirk Ferentz of all people will be the beneficiary, plus he ran off Kul. if he's not fired soon by the new AD he should be. gently caress him.

Jim Young ('77-'81)- 38-19-1 was a pretty drat good coach, forced out after some Drama that involved someone thinking that the DC was the best coach on the team. Had a pretty good run as the head coach at Army after leaving Purdue. - Back Door Fired
Leon Burtnett ('82-'86) 21-34-1 Not a very good coach, despite being the DC that they feared would leave after '81. Had Scott Campbell and Jim Everett as QB's and Rod Woodson on defense and still managed to suck most of the time - Fired
Fred Akers ('87-'90) 12-31-1 - We don't talk about this. I was a student for part of this, someone chalked on all sidewalks on campus with "Fire Fred" and "Texas was smart." - Fired three years too late
Jim Colletto ('91-'96) 21-42-3 - Nobody could play to lose like Jim. Had Mike Alstott for most of his run and still managed to suck hard. Example #1 of Morgan Burke's perverse fascination with Ohio State. Didn't feel good and resigned to not get fired
Joe Tiller ('97-'08) 87-62 - Golden Years! It turns out Tiller had some rare metabolic disorder that caused chronic pain and heart disease and he never said a loving word, just worked his rear end off - Fire-tired to avoid Paul Chryst
Danny Hope ('09-'12) 22-27 - A good coach with a lovely deal and terrible assistants. His teams had tons of speed but often played brain dead and turnover happy. Had wacky wins over Ohio State and at Michigan but then would poo poo the bead against Illinois. Fired

Purdue suspended football from 2012-2016, there were rumors that some weirdo with a perfectly curved hat ran some intramural scrimmages against other big ten teams, but I don't know of anyone who saw football at Purdue during this time - Shot out of a cannon into the sun
