The LSU Tigers have hired 32 men as the head coach of their college football program, but one of them was never able to coach a single game.

Following the 1979 season, Robert Edward Rein — famously known as Bo Rein — was hired by LSU as the new head football coach to replace Charles McClendon.

However, a plane crash after a recruiting trip killed him and ended a tenure for the Tigers before it really ever started.
