Around SBN: Josh Hamilton's Unique Public Statement On His Addiction

Crazy Bobby Bowden Stats! Dad Gum!

I saw some link about Bobby Bowden's new book and it kinda inspired me to look at my ACC coaching records. FYI, Bobby holds every important ACC record there is - ACC career wins, career ACC titles, ACC winning streak, and so forth. Also note that Bobby is 21st in all time ACC losses at 27.

Basically, I just wanted to look at all of the current ACC coaches, how old they were, and how long it would take them to reach Bobby Bowden's record 117 career ACC wins. The table below shows a coach's current age (Agei), schools he coached at, years head coaching in the ACC, ACC wins, ACC losses, ACC Win %, and ACC wins per year. The final two columns are the years required to tie Bobby Bowden's record at the coach's current ACC wins/year pace and the age he will be when he reaches that point (AgeF).

My prediction

I say that Ralph doesn’t make it to 82 years old. Just a guess

DABO!

Is it unfair to have his average over two years? How many ACC games did he coach in year one?

to be fair

Tommy was 1-2 in ACC games when got fired. Dabo’s years should’ve been 1.63 years coaching in the ACC. That would be 5.53 wins/year. So he should reach Mt. Bowden’s peak in 19.5 years instead of 24 at that higher rate. So 59 or 60, which ain’t too shabby.

I remember that game

FSU came back to win it, because UNC was that bad. It was also the first time I genuinely felt bad for Bobby and decided it was absolutely time for him to go.
