Not us. The evidence continues to mount that these corches can't coach up the players. The talent is here.

This chart says a lot about the coaching at some of these schools.

Most of the great coaching is/are at the schools with the least athletes. Kinda goes that was in high school too.
 
Solid. Thanks for posting.

The only things I would add are I would have liked to have seen a composite rankings from multiple recruiting sites - not just Rivals. Likely would have made only a marginal difference but would have added to the analysis. And secondly, I would like to see a second regression done for programs where there was a coaching change for that same period of time.

Good find.
 
lol Michigan and Miami side by side, its funny, with Rich Rod's success theres rumbling of problems in Ann Arbor that run to the top of the food chain, sound familiar?

difference is Michigan's fans have some cojones and won't take it any more. Meanwhile alot of our fans need to see another 3 years of mediocrity to realize this staph ain't the answer.

Yeah, by the way they did this analysis, it takes into account 3 years of Golden and 2 years of Shannon. It also includes recruits going all the way back to 2005. This proves that Miami has been underperforming for a while now, but it's not really fair to put all the blame of this chart on Golden*

*I am on the fire Golden bandwagon.

Actually, rather than do it by schools with coaching changes, why not just do it by coach?
