Summary and Filtering
Coach search stays primary, then school, archetype, time span, and quality sharpen the rankings. The recommended starting point is 3+ seasons.
Primary Discovery
Start with career shape or flip to identity. Either way, the chart, the coach summary, the outlier list, and the table context all stay synchronized.
Start with the simplest question: who paired real strength with a repeatable week-to-week shape?
Bo Schembechler
Volatility: 9.98 • Average SRS: 16.84
77.5% win rate • 32.9 peak SRS
Hover or focus a point to isolate it. Click a coach to carry that selection into the results table.
Average SRS reads overall strength. Volatility is the spread of season-to-season SRS, so lower values mean a steadier profile.

Bo Schembechler coached 27 seasons, won 77.5%, and posted an average SRS of 16.8. Best season: 1973 Michigan. The profile was balanced with a highly volatile profile. 2 stints shaped the career arc.
