Michigan was too infatuated with having a “Michigan man” at HC (so stupid then and now , you always hire the best candidate regardless of where they went to school period) and it cost em. Even now with the best team they have had since lord knows when they still ain’t serious NC contenders, see the playoff.

Hoke took that same team and took them to a BCS bowl. You lost your starting QB, RB and top WR and the #1 overall draft pick after the 2007 season and you think that team needed tweaks?
Michigan fans were sick of the boring shitty offense. “Tweaks” means keeping the shitty offenses which is exactly why UM

Neuheisel wasn’t a terrible hire. He was slightly below average, his record wasn’t any worse than where Kelly is at.
Pretty sure UCLA’s only Pac championship appearance was with him too. Even if it was with a 6-6 record

That shows you how bad rich Rod was. Just like Harbaugh winning with Hokes guys showed you how bad Hoke was.

one team was getting more wins each and every year and the other one was losing more games each and every year

I guess. Except Hokes worst year after 4 was almost as good as RRs best year after 3.

For USC, I have to go with Paul ''Can't'' Hackett.
Came in with a lot of ''former NFL head coach'' hype and failed. He then blamed the area around USC, claiming that top recruits didn't want to go there.
Then USC fired him and hired Pete Carroll who started his run with Hackett's recruits. lol

I think Neuheisels biggest problem was that he didn't live up to the hype. Folks thought UCLA had gotten ''their Pete Carroll''.
He even had Norm Chow as his OC. Then he proceeded to go 21-30 and couldn't come close to beating a USC team that was under NCAA sanctions.

From an outsider’s perspective, I’d have to say Clay Helton was worse just because nobody knew who he was and a blue blood program was settling for a bargain bin hire. Hackett didn’t work out, but at least the hire made sense when it happened

Helton was hired because they had just been through Kiffin and Sark, so USC needed ''an adult in charge of the program'' and he provided that.
The problem was that he was given an expensive extension that 1.) he hadn't really earned and 2.) wasn't necessary to retain him, by Lynn Swann (a strong candidate for USC's worst AD ever). If not for that extension, he would likely have been fired at least 2-3 years sooner.
So imo, the initial hiring was understandable and was even welcomed by the fanbase. It was the extension that was the problem.
