Coach Top 20 coaches by career win percentage

[Taper]

Incorrect. There are plenty of coaches with higher win %'s than Scott. Neil Mann coached Collingwood to a 73.48% win record for just one example. This is above Scott's win percentage. Scott is not even in the top 2 Geelong coaches to have coached at least one whole season on this stat.

How many of them have coached over 250 games?
The biggest challenge ahead for Chris Scott is maintaining a higher win percentage than Dick Reynolds after he's coached 400 games.

Plus the same matter that produced Scott also produced his brother at the same time, so you need to view their coaching records in combination, as they are identical. 60.8%. Not even in the top 10 for long term coaches.

Still better than Hardwick, Wallace and Frawley while they were coaching Richmond.

Is Taper Geelong's Meteoric Rise?

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Clarko's W/L has copped a battering since the end of 2018, he would have been up there 5-6 years ago. Now it's fairly ordinary because he's coached mediocre to poor teams.

 

[Lunchtime]

The first coach to never speak.

Press conference...

Media: "So Dusty, tell us more about that win"

Dusty: "It was pretty good"

Media: "Would you like to elaborate?"

Dusty: "No"

Media: "Ok thanks Dusty"

Dusty: Leaves press conference without thanking Media.


Haha.

 

[Pistol Night]

Why are Port so desperate to get rid of Ken when he’s top 10 all time? One of the icons of the game based on these stats

 

[Noidnadroj]

Best career win percentage from 250 or more games coached.

Chris Scott 68.11%
Dick Reynolds 66.99%
Jock McHale 66.06%
Frank Hughes 65.08%
Tom Hafey 64.75%
John Longmire 62.91%
Allan Jeans 62.15%
Mark Thompson 61.84%
Perce Bentley 61.71%
Reg Hickey 61.02%
Ken Hinkley 60.22%
John Worrall 59.86%
Phonse Kyne 59.56%
David Parkin 59.27%
Leigh Matthews 58.79%
Bob Rose 58.51%
John Kennedy 57.89%
Kevin Sheedy 57.82%
Mick Malthouse 57.03%
Norm Smith 56.75%


What are your thoughts?
I was surprised to see Norm Smith ranked at number 20, honestly I thought he'd be higher.
Bentley, Worrall and Kyne are the only names on this list I'd never heard of.

I think you have to remove their first 3-year win/loss record, then analyse.

Chris Scott started his coaching career with a team containing about a dozen AA players that had gone flag/RU/flag/PF in the preceding 4-years.

Hardwick took over a team containing no AA players that was a rabble and had limited access to top end talent due to GWS and GC.

And Fagan js not even in that list … because he went to a team who’d just lost 5 x quality players to other teams and was in a developing state needing to start from scratch.

So remove the first 3-years of Hardwick, Fagan and Scott and what are their respective win/loss records?

Another excuse to post about Hinkley, yawwnnn!

Well I wish Nicks was capable of being somewhere near this list...

Perce and Reg are great names

Surprised they haven't made a comeback.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt"

 

[Hamingja]

What was Malcolm Blight's win %. Obviously it would have taken a hit at the end there with the Saints but still would have thought it would be reasonably high based on Geelong's GF appearances and Adelaide's flags.

Never a truer word Run my man. Below is the evidence.

54.63%.

He was also a playing coach for one year at North with poor success.

If you remove Scott's man on the street could have coached it flag with the team built by Messrs Thompson & Robinson, his coaching record is pretty much Mark Williams lite. No manipulation needed.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

Interesting while we are on win percentages, Chris Scott has the 13th highest finals win % of all current coaches.

Even more interesting is Chris Scott does not even possess the highest finals win percentage coached in his own family.

Who does?

Brad Scott.

 

[Freomaniac]

It's the same with Barassi. He went to Melbourne when they were a 5 win team and Sydney when they were also terrible.

Posted this before and will post it again. Ron Barrassi and his coaching stint at the demons from 1981 until 1985 will always be unappreciated and underrated.

Yes Barrassi coached demons only won 34 games in 5 seasons. One of them was a 1 win season too.

But some of those younger guys in that 1981-85 side eventually played in that 1987 preliminary final and 1988 grand final.

 

[Freomaniac]

Well I wish Nicks was capable of being somewhere near this list...

I am surprised Neil Craig isn't up on that list.

Then again, he didn't coach 250 AFL games. He had that horrible half a season at the demons in 2013

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Brad Scott.

Are you sure they're related?

"How can I manipulate the data to make Richmond look better and Geelong worse? To make it less obvious, I'll find a coach from a different club as well. I'm an evil genius!".

Stats can always be manipulated.

In this case - why 250 games or more?

Why not top 20 most coached games? Chris Scott is 21st (10 games behind Dennis Pagan).

But agree he’s 68,11 for 334 games is amazing. Specially compared to Robert Walls 46,97 in 357 games or Bill Stephen’s 32,95 in 258 games.

But these stats has to be taken with a grain of salt, as a lot depends on what team and players you got. We seen again and again Messiah’s fall down flat with bad teams. Don’t think Chris will be any different.

Yeah but he has four flags to his name, so at that point, the empty statistic known as 'winning percentage!' becomes utterly irrelevant....

Also interesting is Chris Scott is in second place if you move the criteria to 100 games or more.

Only behind John Coleman 68,80 in 133 games.

Good coaches two-peat. Great coaches three-peat.

Winning flags from time to time is a bit meh.
