[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 789523, member: 4110"] A coach can only compete against the team on his schedule. The only reliable test of coaching is based on head-to-head competition. All the models and metrics that try to compare and rank talent across teams and eras that never played each other is weak. People will have strong beliefs about comparing teams that never faced each or relative strengths of schedule across eras and, as a subsequent, will interpret data that reinforce those beliefs as quantitatively insightful. But it really isn't valid, as those with a different set of beliefs will be happy to point out. My own bias is simple enough. Judge the coach based on the ACC winning percentage of that team. That is based on as balanced and consistent of information as possible and is based on head to head competition. Our winning percentage this season of .647 would rank pretty much tied for third with the '85 team which was 9-5 (.642). [/QUOTE]
