Here's a list of NFL head coaches, with their 2008 records and their career records. I got the career records from ESPN and I think (not sure) that they're records prior to 2008, since the new coaches are shown with 0-0 records.
Coaches with a career winning percentage above 57% are in green
Coaches with a career winning percent from 55 to 57% are in blue
Coaches with a career winning percent from 50 to 54% are in black
Coaches with a career winning percent from 46 to 49% are in orange
Coaches with a career winning percent under 46% are in red
Asterisks show the number of Super Bowls in which a coach has appeared as a head coach.
What do you think? What conclusions can we draw from this?
