Quote:If you assume the elite coach is the exception not the rule (hence the "elite" designation), then by definition, the most likely scenario is he is the the run of the mill head coach.

 

My question is how does one discern the difference at this stage?

 

Consider Bill Walsh.  http://www.pro-football-reference.com/co...alsBi0.htm

 

His first year with San Francisco (1979), he went 2-14.

 

His second year, he went 6-10.  http://www.pro-football-reference.com/te...o/1980.htm

 

After the same 20 game period Gus Bradley has had here, he was 5-15-just one game ahead of where Gus Bradley is now.

 

For the purposes of discussion, let's also consider Jimmy Johnson.

 

His first year with Dallas (1989), he went 1-15.  His second year with Dallas, he went 7-9.

 

After the same 20 game period Gus Bradley has had here, he was 2-18...or two games below what Gus Bradley has achieved here.

 

Looking solely at the W-L records after 20 games, if you had to guess, all were likely run of the mill coaches at best.
 

Break it down to where we can see if those games were continual blowouts and you'll have a point.

 

The references you linked aren't granular enough for this discussion.
