Big Lebowski - 80%
O Brother Where Art Thou- 77%
Burn after Reading 78%

Rotten Tomatoes doesn't care much for Coen Brothers comedies.

A Serious Man came in at 89% which baffles me relative to the three you listed. Burn after Reading at 78% seems surprisingly high as well, though it's one I've come to appreciate much more than after the first viewing and maybe I need to give A Serious Man another try.

The Rotten Tomato rating inconsistencies really are inconsistencies on the part of the critics. I think a good number of them really don't "get" the Coen Brothers but feel like they have to pretend to. So the reviews end up being posturing more than anything.
