Other active coaches who are the all-time winningest at a previous stop:
Kalen DeBoer (27), now at Alabama, won 89.3% of his games in two seasons at Washington—a healthy 27.6% above program history. DeBoer currently is 16–5 with the Crimson Tide, which puts him behind Saban, Bryant, Frank Thomas, Wallace Wade, Gene Stallings and J.W.H. Pollard. There is a long history of winning big with the Tide.
DeBoer’s .762 winning percentage is just a tick above Alabama’s .744 as a whole, which is the best in college football history. The only others above .700 are Ohio State (.739), Notre Dame (.735), Michigan (.733), Oklahoma (.724) and Texas (.705).

Lincoln Riley (29), now at USC, is the all-time winner at Oklahoma at .846 from 2017 to ’21. That undoubtedly does not thrill a segment of the fan base that has never forgiven him for leaving. Riley is barely ahead of national championship winners Barry Switzer, Bud Wilkinson and Bob Stoops.
Other coaches who became the biggest winners in a school’s history this century (30): Urban Meyer at Utah, going 22–2 (.917) in 2003 and ’04 before leaving for Florida; Chip Kelly at Oregon, going 46–7 (.868) from 2009 to ’12 before leaving for the NFL; Brian Kelly at Cincinnati, going 34–6 (.850) from 2006 to ’09 before leaving for Notre Dame; and Tom Herman at Houston, going 22–4 (.846) in 2015 and ’16 before leaving for Texas.

This is fake news.
Marques Tuisasosopo, 1-0, 100%

That would actually be pretty cool if it happened. As a new Falcons fan, I'm all for it.

The Vanderbilt HC would like a word as for rising from the ashes. At 6-1 they had their best record to start a season in 75 years and they added a win last Saturday to improve to 7-1.
