CDJ averaged 8.5 wins a year, though he got better as his career progressed and Mack seems to be regressing.
8.5 wins in the Don James era = 10 wins in the extra game and fucktarded schedule era.
13 games times the DJ career win percentage .726 equals an average of 9.44 wins per season. He was basically an 8-3 coach over his career. It means most seasons today with 13 games would be 9-4 or 10-3. Some 11-2, 12-1 and 13-0, balanced with some 8-5 and some 7-6.
Look at DJ's record in detail and you see a lot of 10-2 (five times actually), which meant mathematically that there were a lot more 7 and 8 win seasons than most fans like to recall.
But the DJ standard in today's 13 game schedule is 9 or 10 wins per season on average. That is a high bar, but achievable.
9.44 rounds up to 10 when you schedule a FCS game every year.
Kinda sorta. In the DJ years we always had the ABC scheduling, so there was always a game against a team that was a easy win, but I won't argue that an FCS team win is easier than the C game win in earlier years. But I don't think it actually changes the math of the win percentage. The UW should never lose to a C team whether it is Pacific (in the old days) or Eastern Washington.

Pacific was a D. Big Sky teams are an F.
I fully agree. My point is simply that both are guaranteed wins. So while I deplore scheduling F teams (but I still went to the game today), scheduling either one is the same result. So the same 9.44 win average is expected. I don't think we round up from 9.44 to 10 because our C games now are easier than our earlier guaranteed wins.

D's were guaranteed wins with a good coach. F's are guaranteed wins even with an average coach.
