General public.Most hated by the media, sports fans or the general public?
I'm okay with that as long as it doesn't impact our recruiting (which, I think we maybe starting to see).
Notre Dame.FSU I would say is the most hated college football team.
FSU football isn't even in the same conversation as the Yankees, Duke Basketball or Notre Dame Football. All are much more "hated" nationwide than the Noles.
ND & Cowboys are not in my poll for a reason, neither has been relevant in terms of championships for over 20+ years.Dallas Cowboys are NOT America's team. They belong in that poll before FSU does. So does Notre Dame.
Perhaps true in the early-mid 90s and most of the 80s.Dallas Cowboys are NOT America's team. They belong in that poll before FSU does. So does Notre Dame.
IMO hatred is an immediate feeling - making it possible to have a particular team be the most hated in America one year and totally forgotten the next (see Lebron's Miami Heat).I don't think we're truly in the conversation of most-hated. Yes, we've gotten some bad press the last few years - but if we go 9-3 this year we'll be completely forgotten in the minds of the average sports fan. To some extent, I feel the same way with the Pats. They are a prime target right now because they've been the NFL's top team for the last 10-15 years - but even with them, they were off the radar when they had a few years of early playoff exits.
If you're going just on current feelings, or that of the younger crowd (20-30 year olds), you could probably make a strong case for the Red Sox being more hated than the yanks - largely because Boston's been more successful over the last decade.
True hatred of a franchise doesn't go away just because the team slips for a few years. It's reserved for teams whose rosters and fanbase is full of dirtbags. It's reserved for teams like the yankmees, cowboys, lakers, 'canes, and goiters.
This is exactly what makes them more hated by the masses. They are irrelevant in terms of competing for championships yet consistently shoved down everyone's throats based on their storied history. This is especially true with Notre Dame Football and the Yankees.ND & Cowboys are not in my poll for a reason, neither has been relevant in terms of championships for over 20+ years.
People in their teens, 20's & early 30's look at ND & Cowboys as just another team b/c they've accomplished nothing.
I dont think Coach K is the most hated coach. At all. He's the most respected by his peers and by all the media. Fans hate him because they are jealous of his success. Calipari to me is the most hated in college basketball.
As far as college football I think the most hated are Meyer, Saban and Jimbo.
Jimbo has every fanbase thinking he is the sleaziest, most corrupt coach and so doesnt the major media including ESPN, CBS and FOX.
Are we not talking about fans? I generally don't think the media hates coaches or teams. People don't like UK bball but they really can't stand Duke and everything Duke stands for.I dont think Coach K is the most hated coach. At all.

Yea, I think that in general most fans dont like Coach K and his peers all have a lot of respect for him. He seems like a good guy and is obviously a great coach. I just cant stand in on the court antics. He complains about every call when Duke it is obvious to every other team that there is a bias in favor of Duke. He can scream, curse and yell at an official and not even a warning. If Leonard even makes a stink eye at an official he gets a warning. My hate is more toward the ACC officiating than Coach K. Your right, Coach Cal is far and away the most hated.I dont think Coach K is the most hated coach. At all. He's the most respected by his peers and by all the media.
