This has to be the most meaningless stat ever. I am more concerned with coach's 2nd 20 games over the first 20. To deny that some of these coaches excelled due to what they inherited, and some had to build from scratch based on what they inherited, it is completely meaningless.

As a prime example lets use your example of WVU's head coach. He won a Fiest Bowl with one of the most talented WVU teams of all-time after RichRod departed prior to it. He also had the luxury of inheriting Pat White and highly touted Noel Devine thanks to Rodriguez's recruiting ability. On the flip side, look at Beamer and Carroll. Beamer built VaTech from scratch and Carroll had to completely overhaul USC.
