That's exactly what I was thinking

There's so much noise he doesn't control for: personnel turnover, etc.

Are fumbles random?

How does this account for changes in players?

BYU 2006 returned a bunch of offensive starters

Indy Coug

9/15/09 12:52pm

I'm talking about coaching personnel

ChinoCoug

You can see wide variances with the same

One observation, 199 more to go

The null hypothesis here is that they are random

Indy Coug

They hired Crowton in 2007

Indy Coug

And their running backs and receivers

Isn't it more about the player? If it were ramdom

Also, some of those teams are consistently better

brizz

Then explain Les Miles' numbers

Indy Coug

9/15/09 12:55pm

Les Miles ain't 1/10th the coach Urban Meyer is

LSU finished 1st in fewest fumbles

Indy Coug

9/15/09 1:06pm

See ... I proved your point

Top Ute

9/15/09 1:07pm

Plus, they improved the year Crowton arrived

Indy Coug

9/15/09 1:09pm

I think they are personnel based

100+ fumble lost for a season? that is almost 8-9

claw

9/15/09 12:48pm

Roh- it is rankings

claw

9/15/09 12:49pm

These are NCAA rankings, not fumble counts

Indy Coug

Also, you need to take into account recruiting

Can you correlate fumbles lost and games won?

GuitarGuy

The theory is that coaching affects ball security

Indy Coug

9/15/09 12:54pm

Whit has ball security coming out his pores

GuitarGuy

9/15/09 12:56pm

Frankly, this is revisionist history

Indy Coug

9/15/09 1:00pm

So are you saying we lose to FSU???

Shabwak

You have obviously never played football.
