Pete Carroll vs. the challenge flag, Part 2 How good (or bad) is Pete on challenges? johndavidfraley has some interesting stats!
Nine takeaways and two questions lie ahead. Plus your insightful comments. The time for over-analysis is upon us.With only 11 coaches behind him. Maybe he is below average.Eliminating everyone with less than 20 challenges results in a much less noisy chart, full of experienced coaches who’ve all won, be it Super Bowls, conferences, or multiple division titles. You can find all these guys in the middle, which hints that regression to the mean is a strong force in challenge flag statistics.
That’s a real wild card. I am super curious to see how that discussion develops in the comment section, because I can see effects in multiple directions.You see everything from three challenges a year to eight-plus. Because they toss the flag eight times a year, tops in the league, Payton and Harbaugh have each won 54 reversals for their team. They’re exchanging many timeouts in favor of three or four challenge wins. Unlike a lot of the people at the top of the chart, who challenge with half the frequency.
Not on the surface. Between winning challenges and winning games, that is. If Belichick’s .406 challenge win percentage wasn’t enough to convince, the younger generation’s numbers will clinch it. McVay sits at .419; McDermott’s a lousy .259; everyone’s darling Taylor manages a putrid .355; McDaniel has prevailed once in six tries.
