Talk:List of college football coaches with a .750 winning percentage

Coaches from FBS/Division I schools

I think that someone should highlight or put some sort of identifier next to coaches who earned their .750+ win percentage at a major school. I don't want to put any of the smaller schools down, but I think it would be interesting to see, if someone has the time and knows how to do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.244.249.78 (talk) 17:28, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

This is an interesting idea, but a complex one to implement and maintain. First, what exactly do you mean by "major school"? NCAA Division I? Just the Football Bowl Subdivision? Also, a coach who worked at multiple divisions might have an overall .750 winning percentage, but a winning percentage below that mark just for the "major college" portion of his career. Conversely, a coach may be over .750 in "major college", but below the mark overall and not even appear on this list. Jweiss11 (talk) 20:32, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Interesting idea. The list of coaches with 200 wins seems to have sorted out those issues alright. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.146.57.101 (talk) 16:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but in a way that isn't suitable here. Having 200 "major-school" wins necessarily means also having 200 overall wins, but the same relation is not true with winning percentages. --162.239.236.97 (talk) 05:13, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Mid-year additions

It seems to me that this list shouldn't be updated with mid-year records. Shouldn't it be pretty much limited to end-of-the-year results?--GrapedApe (talk) 03:47, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

I thought David Shaw of Stanford should be on this list. He has a 78.3% winning percentage as of 9/15/17. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.240.199.130 (talk) 22:37, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

the .850 percentage list

Why are Petersen and Devanney not on the list of coaches with .850 and at least five seasons? --96.32.138.125 (talk) 02:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

What school? What full names? I'd say that if they qualify, they aren't there because you haven't added them yet. Be WP:BOLD!--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:41, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

They are right there on the "active coaches near .750" list, because both are above .750 (and above .850) but have coached fewer than 10 years/seasons. I remember that they used to be on the .850 list but apparently someone removed them and I was just wondering why that removal would be justified. I will probably add them back since they certainly qualify. --96.32.138.125 (talk) 18:22, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

This seems like the right move. Thanks for making the edit. Jweiss11 (talk) 19:53, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

I did change anything but I thought that Bob Stoops should be on the list — Preceding unsigned comment added by Muddsy (talk • contribs) 05:08, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Stoops is in the article, in the main list. He only has an .803 percentage so he doesn't qualify for the .850 sub-table. --162.239.236.97 (talk) 05:09, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Added Lincoln Riley to the list now that he's coached 50 games. Current to 9/17/21.

Why is this an important list?

I can't find any coverage of college football coaches with a .750 winning percentage so why is this notable enough for its own list? Horse Eye's Back (talk) 21:00, 8 February 2023 (UTC)

Omission

Kirby Smart should be added to the list which includes coaches with 7 seasons and at least .750 win%. (u t c m l ) 🔒 ALL IN 🧿 05:53, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
