article 10 Years Worth of Football

I've spent the last few days killing some down time at work.

 

The following is every team who competed this year, with their win totals of the last decade combined. Also their average wins per season, where their win totals rank out of 221 teams, how many coaching changes they have had over the last decade (C.C. column) and then the average wins per season rankings (AWPSR).

 

I might have made a mistake here or there, but I'm pretty confident that these numbers are accurate. There were a few coaching situations where there was not a coach listed. There were also a few times when the coach had a different name from the previous year, although I was very confident that it was the same person (Ex: Bobby Footballcoach in 2010, Robert T. Footballcoach in 2011)

Edit your post, and change the font to Courier New all the text in the list. This will evenly space each character so that if you're using spaces for alignment purposes, they will show up fine

The other suggestion is to 'replace' every space with either an underscore or a period. This way, it will include non-breaking spaces.

 

Old HTML coding was   but this editor doesn't allow HTML code. This created the ability to have multiple spaces without the HTML reading it as 'one space'.

Very cool. Thank for taking the time to do this.

Amazing. Great work.

 

Man do I feel lazy. You go and do all this while I spend my kill time at work Candy Crushing, watching silly pet videos, and reading these forums.

Very Interesting and nicely done! Thank you for doing this!

I did a little bit more ciphering (Jethro Clampett style) on some of the numbers I got.

 

 

 

1 coach: 41 teams. An average of 7.9 wins per season.

2 coaches: 51 teams. 6.8 wins per season.

3 coaches: 73 teams. 5.2 wins per season.

4 coaches: 35 teams. 4.7 wins per season.

5 coaches: 13 teams. 3.9 wins per season.

6 coaches: 6 teams. 3 wins per season.

7 coaches: 2 teams. 1.8 wins per season.

 

 

81% of teams made a coaching change in the last decade.

58% of teams made at least 2 changes in the last decade.

 

 

So, logically, it's most high school kids will be playing for multiple coaches in their high school careers. And, most coaches aren't staying in the same location for long periods of time.

 

 

You can take these numbers for what you wish, but I know for sure what they say to me. I like looking in depth at numbers and everything like that, and I just think it's interesting to see how things have played out over the last 10 years. Because as much as it's changed, there's still a lot that has stayed the same.

^^^

Awesome work!

 

Not to make your life harder... but I would furthermore like to know what percentage of the Semi-Finals participants over the past 10 years are programs with 2 or less coaches during this 10 year time frame.

The existential pink elephant in the room is: do they win more because they have had 1 coach or do they have 1 coach because they win more?

The existential pink elephant in the room is: do they win more because they have had 1 coach or do they have 1 coach because they win more?

 

A little bit of both?

 

I think some schools would have pretty much the same record if they had 1 coach or 10 coaches.

Thanks for doing this! I enjoyed looking at those numbers.

 

I also think some of the coaching stability or lack thereof is attributed to good coaches wanting to continually go to good places or maintain/continue to build good programs.

I think that is probably a very true statement. And I think some of that might stem from teams who have over-achieved under a certain coach may not be as likely to be willing to entice the successful coach to stay. Whether that is money or resources or any number of things.

 

 

 

Although, on my full spread sheet, there doesn't appear to be many multi-coach programs where there was a clear rise or clear drop off. There are a few, but not that many.

The existential pink elephant in the room is: do they win more because they have had 1 coach or do they have 1 coach because they win more?

 

If a tree falls in the woods and know one hears it is Belfry still unstoppable?

I find it interesting, at least in my world, that teams some think are "good" and competitive every year have 48 wins and teams thought to struggle every year have 55.....perception.

Awesome work!

DON'T WASTE TIME DOING THIS. I am actually in the process of researching it myself so no reason to waste your time as well.
