SEC Coaches Win % before SEC

[PPPpartsp3]

Duke in the three years before Spurrier :

2-9
4-7
4-7

Mich. St. in three years before Saban

5-6
6-6
5-6

Oklahoma St. in three years before Miles:

5-6
5-6
3-8

Cincy in three years before Davis

10-3
11-3
12-1

You are not saying that he rides in on Kelly's coat tails are you? I like that he followed up 10-3, 11-3, 12-1, with 4-8.

All, here are the facts about the top 3 current SEC coaches and their winning percentage as head COLLEGE coaches before they came to the SEC along with the average games won per year based upon 12 games per year (obviousley wasn't 12 back in the day, but whatever) -

1. Steve Spurrier - W20-L13 - 61% winning - 7.3 Average per year games won.
2. Nick Saben - W43-L26 - 62% winning - 7.4 apygw
3. Les Miles - W28-L21 - 57% winning - 6.8 apygw

Now our current coach -
Butch Jones - W50-L27 - 65% winning - 7.8 apygw

Simple Math and better than the top 3.

Everyone Relax and get ready for some wins.

I know Meyer isn't in the SEC anymore, but he was an outside guy that had great success. What were his numbers?

Urban Meyer - 38-8, 83% Winning, 9.5 avg wins/year

He wins.

1. Houston Nutt - 36-22 - 62% ... 99-74 at Ole Miss and Arky.
2. Curley Hallman - 23-13 - 63% ... 16-28 at LSU
3. Jackie Sherrill - 105-47 - 69% ... 75-75-2 at Miss St.

This is not logic. It's anecdotal cherry-picking.

Nutt winning 57% at Ark/OM and Sherrill winning 50% at Miss St are good accomplishments.

I really don't expect us to win much next year....especially if we lose a bunch of Junior star players to the draft, but I think year 2 Butch will win at least 2 games in which we are underdogs, not lose to anybody we are supposed to beat, and finish with at least 8 wins not counting a bowl game. By year 4, I think we will be competing for a spot in the SECCG and soon after for National Championships. I really do believe in this guy. His credentials are really good and he has worked his way up from the lowest levels of coaching to prove himself at every level. Hey, I am the eternal optimist but I just choose to believe that this guy is different than what we have had in the past and will win a couple of games a year that we have no business winning based on pure talent alone.

It's nice to see your optimism. I feel the same way. Some volunteer fans are so down and beaten that they won't let themselves have hope or get excited about the future & that's sad

Winning Percentage!! If I asked, would you accept a .7451 winning percentage, what would you say?? Or would you prefer a .7320 winning percentage? Both percentages over the same amount of time as far as years coached.....
