10 Years of Pac 12(10) Coaching


This little research project was inspired by a tidbit I saw in a Peter King article about how Pitt has had 5 head football coaches in the past 13 months. Of course Pitt is the extreme of extremes, but I wondered how many head football coaches Pac 12 schools have had in the past 10 years. So I used a time frame starting with the 2002 football season and ending with yesterdays Fiesta Bowl.

Please note that I didn’t mess with retroactive NCAA punishments. So technically USC should have less wins, but I figured it would complicate things too much. I also included coaching records, and overall 10 year records, number of bowl games and conference championships. The data might be a bit off as I used Wikipedia as my source for pretty much all these numbers.
