Dana, for all the Red Bull jokes and crazy hair, still is the most effective WVU coach when it comes to beating ranked teams.

Rich is #2. Nehlen is #3. Yes, Nehlen has the most victories over ranked teams, 15, but he was here 21 years. The only fair way to compare is by average number of ranked W’s per season for their WVU coaching careers.

Dana and Rich are ahead of Don, but not by a lot, because Nehlen is #3.

Bottom of the pile (surprise!): Bobby Bowden!

Neal Brown is tied with Bill Stewart. Both are behind Art Lewis.



Dana Holgorsen – 10 in 8 years .800 of a W per season

Rich Rodriguez – 11 in 8 years .727 of a W per season

Don Nehlen - 15 in 21 years .714 of a W per season

Art Lewis – 6 in 10 years .600 of a W per season

Neal Brown - 1 in 1 year .500 of a W per season

Bill Stewart – 2 in 4 years .500 of a W per season

Frank Cignetti – 1 in 4 years .250 of a W per season

Gene Corum – 1 in 6 years .167 of a W per season

Bobby Bowden – 1 in 6 years .167 of a W per season

Should double check your numbers

Believe you are going by ranking at the time of the game
Neal Brown actually has 1 every year.
1 in 2019 and 1 in 2020

The numbers are biased towards Neal Brown and Dana based on opportunity.

Actually your math is off
DH 1.25 W per season
RR 1.375 W per season

A better gauge would be their actual W-L record

Hard to compare across generations of coaches, to say coach A was better than coach B when it comes to wins, top 25 wins, or anything else for that matter.

Some coaches rarely played top 25 programs, while some get 5-6 chances per year.

I like to look at their body of work. It's hard to argue against the overall success of Bobby Bowden and Don Nehlen. I would place them in the top 3, and Rod would have to be in there as well. Both Bowden and Nehlen were before the age of the internet, meaning recruiting was much more difficult then, particularly bringing top notch talent to a team that had no big name recognition.

I would say Nehlen probably did the best of all coaches within the last 50 years, as far as running a clean program, getting the most out of his talent, and bringing the program to a national level. I think it started with the big road win in Norman back in what, 1982? Can't remember the actual year, but that was the game I remember more than any other, as far as importance.

That's only 48 victories over ranked teams in 69 years. Not every impressive.
