if anything, this system shows how dangerous it is to judge malzahn at auburn after just 14 games. it's statistically impossible for him to win close games over years and years of games at the rate auburn did in the regular season
It includes his entire head coaching career. Not just at Auburn.

Same with Butch Jones.

So a 55-34 Jones is better than a 165-57-1 Saban with 4 National Titles?

I have a really effective, mostly objective, way to look at a HC's coaching prowess. Let him coach in the SEC for 5 years, then look at his W%.

didn't realize that since I thought he was just measuring sec success. but still 26-27 pieces of data aren't a significant enough sample here. especially since malzahn's career has so much variance among the expected outcomes in all of his games. (ark st.-oregon, auburn-cupcakes, auburn-alabama, etc.)

No...not both years?!? Even the one spent at a lower tier school against non-SEC competition? That completely undercuts the objections.
