This is the equation:<BR/><BR/>(((Winning % for Coach at school A) - (Winning % historically at school A) * number of games coached by Coach at School A) + ((Winning % for Coach at school B) - (Winning % historically at school B) * number of games coached by Coach at School B))/ Total number of games coached by coach.<BR/><BR/>For example, Les Miles:<BR/><BR/>At Oklahoma State, he went 28-21 over 49 games. That's a .571 winning percentage. The historic winning percentage at OSU is .490, so Miles' comparison figure there is +.081.<BR/><BR/>At LSU, he's gone 22-4, an .846 winning percentage. The historic winning percentage at LSU is .638, so Miles' comparison figure there is +.208. <BR/><BR/>Since he coached almost twice as many games at OSU, we can't just average the two comparison figures.<BR/><BR/>So this is the calculation:<BR/>OSU:(+.081 * 49 = 3.969) +<BR/>LSU:(+.208 * 26 = 5.408) =<BR/>9.377<BR/>Divide by total number of games coached (75)<BR/><BR/>9.377/75 = .125<BR/><BR/>With Spurrier, Erickson, or the other coaches with more than one job, the equation just gets bigger.LDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416468186977171781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10778854.post-30622633712855524812007-06-08T11:04:00.000-04:002007-06-08T11:04:00.000-04:00How do you calculate the win% spread for coaches l...How do you calculate the win% spread for coaches like Spurrier?
