Coach Top 20 coaches by career win percentage

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.

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?

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.
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.
