Leipold KU winning percentage vs history

[Oread]

Went down a rabbit hole with the KU Media Guide and a calculator.

Here are the post World War II coaches and their winning percentages:

46-47 Sauer 0.786
48-53 Sikes 0.583
54-57 Mather 0.313
58-66 Mitchell 0.511
67-70 Rodgers 0.476
71-74/79-82 Fambrough 0.428
75-78 Moore 0.389
83-85 Gottfried 0.456
86-87 Valesente 0.205
88-96 Mason 0.466
97-01 Allen 0.377
02-09 Mangino 0.510
10-11 Gill 0.208
12-14 Weis 0.214
15-18 Beaty 0.125
19-20 Miles 0.142

After two seasons, Lance Leipold is 8-17 for a 0.320 average.

Here are the potential 2023 regular season records and corresponding overall winning percentage for Coach Leipold:

0-12 0.216
1-11 0.243
2-10 0.270
3-9 0.297
4-8 0.324
5-7 0.351
6-6 0.378 - would surpass Terry Allen’s 0.377
7-5 0.405 - would surpass Bud Moore’s 0.389
8-4 0.432 - would surpass Don Fambrough’s 0.428
9-3 0.460 - would surpass Mike Gottfried’s 0.456
10-2 0.487 - would surpass Glen Mason’s 0.466
11-1 0.514 - would surpass Mark Mangino’s 0.510 and Jack Mitchell’s 0.511
12-0 0.541

Not sure why I went through this exercise. I suppose it reinforces that we are on the upswing for the first time in a very long time.
