% of Wins to Total Games Coached

[romegajacket]

This is a breakdown of GT's Football coaches over the years and how they compared in the W/L and Percentage of wins compared to games coached. It is from an MS Excel sheet, so I hope you can make heads or tails from it since it doesn't copy and paste so well. These figures came for the College Football Warehouse. These are not for trying to prove anything, just data to observe.

Sorry,
I see the final read-out is not nearly as clear to read as the Excel sheet was. LOL.
Anyway, at the end of each line the percentage number is what I was trying to show.

I'll bet the telegraph talk got pretty tough when McKee (0%) took over for Strickler (80%) in '02. Grandad (great GT fan - rest his soul) was born in '04 - the year Heisman cometh - so luckily he wasn't around for that debacle.

BTW, first 62 years of grandad's life the coaches were Heisman, Alexander, Dodd. No wonder he was a die hard Tech man.
