[QUOTE="Rodney Kent, post: 26795, member: 923"] If you desire to see the history of a football team, go to [URL='http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/']www.cfbdatawarehouse.com[/URL] and click on “Div 1-A Teams” at the top of page. On the next screen select the desired team, such as Alabama. The history and yearly results of Alabama will appear on left of screen. Select “Coaching Records” to analyze the effect of coaching on Teams. Of course this can be done with any team in any division of football. [B]ALABAMA[/B] Alabama had varying success, but did not become a known power until Xen C. Scott became their Head Coach from 1919-1922 (29-9-3) (74%) in 4 years. Wallace Wade followed Scott with (61-13-3) from 1923-1930 (81%). Immediately after Wade, Frank Thomas coached 1931-1946 (115-24-7) 81%. These three coaches brought fame to Alabama football. By the way, the same Wallace Wade left Alabama and coached Duke from 1931-1950 with a record of 110-36-7 (74%) in 16 years. You leave Alabama and go to Duke and still win big! According to the quality of athletes at each school this is prohibited by some naysayers. The winning at Alabama dropped off with the next coach to 65% in 8 years, and then to 17% for the next coach and 3 years. Bear Bryant was then hired and immediately the program became great again with a winning record of 232-46 in 25 years. After Bryant, the coaches changed often with near hits and some big misses. Mike Dubose had a record of 24-23 in 4 years (51%), and later Mike Shula’s record was 10-23 in 4 years with stellar athletes. Finally, Saban arrived and righted the ship again. His record to date is 74-15 (83%) in 7 years. Once again, it can be proven even at a school with plenty of money and extremely good recruiting, easy subjects, etal, that the athletes matter little if the coach cannot steer them in the right direction. There are too many teams to produce the same results over and over again, also producing the same coaches being successful everywhere they go. However, I will post a few more facts and data to prove that the catalyst for winning is the coach instead of the athletes. In fact, UGA gets extremely good athletes, but they do not win the National Championship with them. They have also had some very bad coaching and years of bad teams. [/QUOTE]
