The coach rating is derived 60% from a team's performance against that 20-year baseline (so, if your SP+ rating is 10.0 in a given season, and your school's 20-year average rating was 5.0, that's a +5.0) and 40% from the raw SP+ rating.
Nick Saban - Four times at Alabama
Les Miles - Two times
Kirby Smart - Two times
Art Briles - Two times
Jim Harbaugh - One time at Stanford; One time at Michigan
Jimbo Fisher - One time at Florida State
Urban Meyer - One time at Florida
Ryan Day - One time at Ohio State

No ed O list is stupid.
He didnt make one bad decision in 2019.
Not one. Every timeout every 4th down decision was money

Maybe I'm misunderstanding how this rating system is calculated, but how on earth is Ryan Day 2019 on here and Ed O 2019 not? How does Dabo Swinney never appear? I feel lost.

And the 2019 team beats all of those teams.
This is a stupid statistical analysis
Its never a single coach but a staff and players.

Any list like this that has Les Miles on it loses all credibility.

Yea 2011 Les Miles couldn't get out of his own way

That's because he barely made any decisions in 2019....as he should not have. He just needed to get out of the way, which he did. It's when he actually started making decisions that things went downhill, fast!

Based on the methodology they gave, LSU's SP+ ranking after 2019 was 33.1 (this was the notorious year that Ohio State had a final ranking higher than LSU ). We were 31.9 in 2011. So Ed O probably would be Top 5, and not including him was an oversight. Although the 2011 year does have the 1990s included which probably gives a big boost to the the "delta" between the SP+ and 20 year average.
Essentially they're measuring how much better a team did than what you'd expect from their rolling baseline, and attributing it to the Head Coach.

Ed O did not make the cut.

Doesn't make any sense. How is Ryan Day's 2019 performance so significantly better than O's by the same metric? Ohio State and LSU had a similar 1999-2018. At that point, both had 2 NC's included in the rolling average. Day's Ohio State 2019 performance gets a 30.7 but Coach O doesn't get even a 26.3? Ohio State's rating that season was a 35.4 compared to LSU at 33.1; is LSU's SP+ from 1999-2018 multiple points higher than Ohio State?

Edit: Found historical data. Doesn't completely add up as it has Ohio State's 2019 SP+ at 39.4, whereas ESPN where presumably they're using rankings has it as a 35.4.
LINK
Average of LSU's SP+ from 1999 to 2018 is 21.5.
Delta is (33.6-21.5)=12.1
(0.4)(33.6)+(0.6)(12.1)=20.7.
Let's look at Ryan Day.
Average of Ohio State's SP+ from 1999-2018 is 21.8.
Delta is 35.4-21.8=13.6
(0.4)(35.4)+0.6*13.6=22.32
TDLR list doesn't make sense and the internal calculations got screwed up somewhere.
We can even give them the 39.4 to prove it's messed up..
Delta is 39.4-21.8=17.6
(0.4)(39.4)+0.6(17.6)=26.32
As a fun exercise our rolling average from 1983 to 2002 was 8.56. Hit a 30.4 in 2003.
Delta is 30.4-8.56=21.84
(0.4)(30.4)+(0.6)(21.84)=25.26

Connelly's metric is always retarded. It tells you that Ohio St was the best team of 2019. Having Les in '07 up there is almost as dumb as not having Ed O.

2012 Saban was bullshite. The guy loses to a division rival and back doors into a rematch.
Such a privileged opportunity they had!
