KC Mothership

If your a Mizzou fan, this is a solid cherry picked stat that you’ll enjoy…

This was brought to the KCMothership by a fan that wants to remain nameless.  He did not have the LSU website on hand at the time, but when he gets it we’ll shoot it over in the comment section.

Now, TCU and Utah were not in BCS leagues during those seasons.  So throw them out.  That means there are only 19 coaches who have been at a BCS school for seven straight seasons.  Of those 19, Gary Pinkel has the 6th best winning percentage.  The schools above him:

LSU

Texas

Oklahoma

Virginia Tech

Georgia

That’s pretty damn good company”
