And people are curious why both college teams he's been the head coach for wear red.

Before you made your own thread I was going to let it slide, but now I can't.

quote:

Freeze: .711


.654

That's just one. I didn't look at all of them so it's possible more are wrong.

ETA:

Saban: .750


.754

Sumlin: .725


.692

Bert: .666


.667

frankly, this surprises me. I would have guessed much lower based on my observations of his teams at a&m.

my big question now would be how's his record against top teams (that's all I've witnessed). maybe top 25, top 10, etc.

Guess you're not counting his tenure at Lambuth?

Of course you didn't look at the others.

Your link does not include the Lambeth Eagles, who were in the Mid-South conference when Freeze was a head coach for them.

OP didn't rank the coaches by their winning percentage at SEC schools.

Ok, so I overlooked

CAREER winning percentage
. Regardless, my comments below are true for each team that they're with now.


honestly, considering the program he took on and where it is today, the most impressive is:

quote:

Mullen: .597


quote:

Freeze: .711


Is also impressive, but let's see some more...


quote:

Sumlin: .725


GTFO, dude is hollywood with the hollywood fanbase. aTm is sooo great but has never done shite. Sumlin will live and die off of Johnny Football's balls.

I mean, you're still not counting his tenure as head coach at Lambuth, but okay.

For the record, it was an NAIA school.

I just did the math using their records on Wiki. I'm right on Freeze. Bert was too much fun to leaver at .666, and Saban might just be about the fact that I ignored the ties.

Now show us how many conference and national championships each has won. You may include Sumlin's time in the lowly C-USA, however I don't think it'll help your case much.

I gotcha. I was wondering where you got it from because I didn't figure you just pulled them out of your arse.

I used sports reference.

Interesting to note, while all the names above him have been HCs elsewhere, Merlins' entire career winning percentage has been at MSU, where he faces every one of those more successfull HCs every single season.

Despite this obvious handicap, he's winning at a pace of almost 60%, at a school whose historic winning percentage prior to his hiring was only 48%.

No doubt about it, Mullen has been impressive in Starkville.

He has had three of Mississippi State's 8+ win seasons. They've had seventeen in their history.

Mullen is the definition of a dynasty builder.

well, he's over .500 and that ain't bad. if he used the last three years as a learning curve (ie find a running game and increase his TOP on O) he should improve. imo, winning 2/3 of your SEC games in the west is pretty darn good.

Only Saban, Miles and Bundy have enough tenure to make a legitimate read.
