WOS87 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 I'm still contemplating... this topic has given me the opportunity to compile some coaching stats which I've been meaning to do for quite a while now.... here's what I have so far with much more to come... 4 of the top 8 listed are still active so according to the rules, they would not be eligible.Longevity - Coaches with at least 12 seasons as Head Coach over a Southeast Texas Program
PURPLE 4EVER Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Posted June 6, 2007 thanks for the feedback WOS87...Very interesting...
stang4life Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 WOS87...you are the bomb. Such a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for your posts (puts some stats and facts behind the words)!!! ;D
WOS87 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Here's the other longevity variable that can be compared... all-time wins. Obviously there are a lot of the same names as listed above but a few big differences as well. Durley was only head coach for 9 seasons but makes the top 20 in total wins, and so far, has far and away the highest winning percentage of anyone I've gone through, followed by Don Price. Next I'll be putting together a comparison of winning percentage and then finally a comparison of who has the most hardware (i.e. district titles, state titles, etc.)Most All-Time Wins as Head Coach of a Varsity UIL Football Program in SE Texas
PURPLE 4EVER Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Posted June 7, 2007 This is what I wanted to see from posting the thread....Obviously I was only making my choices on coaches I knew about...Will be neat if everyone started making their choices after the next chart comes out....Thanks WOS87 for your work!!!
PURPLE 4EVER Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Posted June 8, 2007 looking at WOS87's table...Dayton's Coach Stewart could vault from 21st to 17th with an 11 win season...Coach Stewart's Broncos are 7 wins away from tying Ethridge from PNG and are only 9 wins away from tying Durley...Good luck to the Broncos this year...ps...Bronco stadium is looking AWEsome!!!The teams visiting Dayton this year are in for a pleasant suprise...The best lighting in SE Texas as well as the best playing surface...The home stands at 58 rows high will be "intimidating" when filled up by Bronco fans!!!
WOS87 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 &bspHere's the all-time winning percentage chart....Alex Durley holds the top spot only because of the 4 season minimum I have in place... If I hadn't put some sort of minimum time period there would have been dozens of coaches from 50+ years ago who had 1 or 2 really good seasons flooding the list.; The ACTUAL top 3 if I had not put a minimum in place are:#1 - 100% - Harold McRae - Nederland - 1945 - 10-0-0#2 - 95.16% - Clyde Gott - Hull-Daisetta - '35-'37 - 29-1-1#3 - 95.00% - Bill Stages - Hull-Daisetta - '38-'39 - 19-1-0Does anyone know anything about McRae? It's odd that he'd come in for one season, get Nederland a perfect season (they won the regional championship that year which was as far as you could go in the lower classifications back then) and then left. It's kind of funny that I mentioned Gott and Stages in my very first post on this topic and they pop up at the top here. As I said earlier, Gott coached Hull-Daisetta to the first 22 games of what was eventually a 41 game winning streak (a national record at the time at the high school level) and Stages was at the helm for the final 19 games of the streak.Also, most people forget that Nederland didn't win their state championship until the year AFTER Bum Phillips left.Highest All-Time Winning Percentage as Head Coach of a Varsity UIL Football Program in SE Texas(4 season minimum)* - programs in red won state titles in the years listed
PURPLE 4EVER Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Posted June 8, 2007 Didn't know that about Bum...Thought he was the coach of the state champion team...WOS87...Will you do a chart featuring career playoff wins and state championships???
