Who has the best win% in program history? Who has the worst win% in the past 60 years? Here’s a hint, they’re our last 2 coaches.

I know man, I just kinda feel I'm off the rails a bit tonight.

No one wants to hear Wade % right now.

I just know that later this year I'll be right back here, you will, and our real fans.

I joke on CoachMc, you know it, but man I'm not giving up yet.

ETA: We're a bit different in this space, btw. What CoachMc does in the portal is really going to tip the scales for me.

Should have cut it off before 60, because Press Maravich has a lower win percentage (1966-1972, .469) than McMahon (31-35 or .470).

You'll have to qualify.

Charles Stroud has the best win percentage of anyone with 5 or more seasons coached @ 0.796 (82-21)

But in the modern era or with 150 or more games coached it is Wade .

Jay Mcreaery ended his 8 year tenure in the 64-65 season, I believe that is within 60 years, 0.416 (82-115). Then it is Press Maravich in 6 seasons 0.469 (76-86), then McMahon in 2 seasons is Next at 0.470 (31-35).

Not an auspicious start for McMahon, for sure. There may be mitigators for that but if he doesn't get some players in the portal or some unexpected leaps in performance from a few players he won't be around long enough to improve his position.
