Ed only has 3 full seasons and a partial one as HC for his resume (at LSU). Averaging wins with such a small sample size is a bit rough. Prior to his final season, Chizik "averaged" 10 wins per season.

I'll definitely grant you that CEO has tougher competition. I just wouldn't use averages and then discount CEO's first season (albeit a partial one) but not Kirby's. In their last 3 seasons, Kirby is averaging 12 wins to CEO's 11.3.

I'm just saying that Kirby is literally one pass play away from having a leg up on CEO, if we're looking at wins and hardware. CEO definitely has the best season out of all the coaches though.

So 3 seasons is inadequate to judge CEO, but 4 is sufficient to judge Kirby? Do you listen to yourself when you say these things?

You're moving the goal posts that now we should only count three for Kirby? Isn't that insufficient based on what you just said above?

I exclude 2016 because CEO was INTERIM HC; that was Miles's team not CEO's. The clock started for Orgeron when the interim tag was removed.

One pass? That would give him a natty like CEO, but CEO would still have the head to head, so the scale would still tilt to CEO.
