Does this indicate career or just the main school they were at?

i.e. is Saban's Michigan State record on here for example?

It indicates all Division 1/FBS schools as a HC (so Heupel's record at UCF, Saban at Mich St, Spurrier at Duke, etc)

So no NAIA or Division 2 etc..

Not all add up to 93 games.

And the coaches above Heupel probably didn’t walk into a dumpster fire program.

All of them do except one (Osborne - 92).

Spurrier - 69-23-1 I see where it was corrected from his previous post

That's the thing most of us have already forgotten. Just how bad this dumpster was blazing when he arrived.

First year 33 players left the program.

What I found interesting about Saban is the story he told on the Gameday set last week about taking a 4-5 Michigan State team into Columbus to play Ohio State in 1998.

He said up to that week he had always been a transactional leader instead of investing in building relationships with his players and focusing on the process rather than the outcome, which is why his career record at that point was 32-23-1 (23-21-1 at MSU) and he was about to be fired. He then changed his approach that week, which changed the entire trajectory of his career. They beat Ohio State and he went 260-48 for the rest of his career.

Spurrier walked into very mediocre-to-worse programs at Duke and Florida. It’s actually very encouraging to compare his record to CJH.

CJH actually walked into a good situation at UCF, but our situation was very bad as we all know.

I remember watching that game because I think Ohio state was ranked #1, but above UT at that time, which made games more interesting to watch.

I was going to ask which ones walked into Pruitt and which walked into Richt.

 

[IndianaVol]

Interesting that every coach above him on the list has a NC and the next 4 or 5 below him all own a NC.

He's going to get one soon...stay tuned.

Dooley - 63-26-4

For a split second I thought I was living in an alternate universe, but then it made all sense.

I should've included first names LOL

Op- interesting topic. Thanks!

I’d like to see the coaches at their primary schools in a 4-5 yr period, or in Urban’s case, both schools.

Heup- Tennessee
Saban-Bama
Spurrier- Florida
Urban- Florida
Urban- Ohio state
Kiffin- ole miss

Yeah, Richt was 74-19 in his first 93 games, which is better than most of this list. Though Richt never won a Natty, UGA has had 2 really quality coaches back to back.
