Rating—Peak74Career76

1965–1996 · 14 seasonsRecord 97-61National titles 1Great seasons 1 (top ~7% of all teams that year)

Rating 74: his whole career, recent seasons weighted most, measured as how far his teams stood above their era, crediting him with half of what each program already was when he arrived (about the share that, historically, follows a coach to his next job), fading as the program becomes his own.
Peak 74: best five-season stretch, 1992–1996 at Alabama (52-10, 1 top-10 season by team strength, 1 national title), taking over already a national power.
Career 76 (#109 since 1936): total accomplishment over 14 seasons (97-61), 1 national title, 1 elite season; full credit for the program he inherited.
Won big at one of his 2 programs (Alabama).

Rating = who he is: his whole head-coaching career (since 1936), weighted toward recent years — how far his teams stood above their contemporaries, how much he lifted programs, his great seasons and titles. Form = the last two seasons. Career = the all-time ranking number.
