That took a lot of work, thanks. Do you have the actual numbers of wins/losses? I'm way too lazy to look it up.
I do, but it was quicker to type the % than the overall records. Any coach in particular you are wanting to know?

The worst thing about Mullen is he has the arrogance and ego of much more accomplished coaches like Saban and Urban.
The guy had abilities as a play caller. However, he also had the glaring ego to never forfeit or deviate from the original scheme if what he had planned for that given Saturday wasn’t working. He’s similar to Malzahn in that regard.

You included Switzer and Akers, so why not Frank Broyles? He won 53% against top-10 teams.

To be fair, he also struggled with them too sometimes.

He absolutely did not.
Broyle’s was 7-23 against Final AP Top 10 teams (23.3%). He’s #22 out of 42 that met the criteria.

I think Ed Orgeron was 13-6 vs top 10 (at the time of the game) opponents while at LSU. What is his record vs. the top 10 using the final standings?

Mizzou was a funny team during his tenure - they never won more than eight games during his seven years at Mizzou. They were giant slayers, but would lay eggs against the worst Big Eight teams.
This is so true. Uncle Al went a pathetic 1-6 vs. ku, including a 1-3 record vs. ku teams that finished below 0.500.
The most glaring example of the inconsistency with which his teams played was in 1976:
MU went on the road and beat a USC team that finished 11-1 by 21 points, beat a 9 win Ohio St team (also on the road), beat a 9 win Nebraska team (on the road) by 10 and also somehow managed to lose by 25 at home to a 5 win Illinois team and lose by 27 at home to a 6 win ku team.
