McGee is 4-11, which is the worst winning percentage of any UAB football coaches (0.267). Although I'm starting to be a little critical of some of his recent decisions, I truly believe he is moving the program in the right direction. I'm still a fan of Coach McGee.

But man, it's a difficult job being the UAB football coach given all of the challenges. And yet Watson Brown still has the best winning percentage at 0.456.

Watson left 44 players behind. And, yes, some of those left when Callaway came in, but when a player leaves because he was told he had to workout and follow new team rules then something was rotten already in the barrel. I'm not blaming away all of Callaway's record (he did some good things but ultimately you've got to win on the field), but before Watson left I did not think it even remotely possible that someone, through their own ego and with eyes wide open, could sabotage an FBS football program as thoroughly as he did.

And I was tempted, at the time, to lay some of the blame at the office of the AD but the undeniable truth is that Watson ran under the skirt of PBJr to save his job...the program be damned. That alone should explain why the "Zero" moniker belongs 100% to him and should make him persona non grata around here.
