Coach Ratings

One way I like to look at coach performance is looking at the team ESPN FPI the team had before they got there & during their tenure. If a coach is with a team for 4 years then I take the average of those 4 seasons & look at how good the team was 4 years prior. There are obviously other factors when hiring a coach but I think this is a large piece of it. Below are some of the most interesting results.
