Hey there, first time poster but have definitely followed along on this sub via another account for a good long while. I feel like I've been reading a good amount of criticism of coach Mike's record in his first 5 years as a head coach and that made me wonder how he stacks up to his peers.
I did a brief dive into some records via google and was able to compile the data on 7 coaches for their first five years.
Coach A
82-50 (record) +2.43 (relative strength of schedule) 1 tourney appearance
Coach B
91-37 -2.81 0 tourney appearances
Coach C
56-80 ~+7. 0 tourney appearances
Coach D
74-66 -2. 0 tourney appearances
Coach E
65-82 ~+7 0 tourney appearances
Coach F. (Coach Mike)
87-73 +10.3. 1 tourney appearance
Coach G
61-80 -4.07 1 tourney appearance
