Stanford!?!?????
Those are all correct. The ESPN article said that Tara had more wins than all but five teams, but I can't find the fifth team. Louisiana Tech was ahead of her until recently, but they've been bad the last couple of years, and I think they are just shy of 1200. Texas has been doing well, but it had a fair number of wins to catch up. Otherwise, few teams are even in the neighborhood.
This list is from the end of 2022, Tennessee, UConn, and Stanford had already cleared 1203, and James Madison was only a handful of games away. I don't think LaTech has won 29 games the last couple seasons, or Texas 46.

So I think Tara has more wins than all but four programs, and for one of the programs, most of the wins are hers!

Just meant to convey that, just like in the basketball question, I was going to keep it simple with the baseball question too, not overthink it, and go with Stanford.
Anyway, good question Bob!
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - Giants - 01-25-2024
In order, who are the three NFL Head Coaches with the highest regular season winning percentage (min. 100 games coached)?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - BobK - 01-25-2024
Reid
John Harbaugh
?

I think these three...maybe Belichick?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - Giants - 01-25-2024
Terry hit 1 and 2…
Madden
Lombardi
???
(Additional note: These three guys are the only coaches in NFL history with a winning percentage exceeding .700 —min. 100 games coached).
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - BobK - 01-25-2024
George Allen
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - Mick - 01-25-2024
George Halas or Curly Lambeau
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - Giants - 01-25-2024
Well done, Bob K. George Allen is #3.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - skip75 - 01-25-2024
Now that that's settled, I'll ask the question that Bob thought Giants was asking. Among current NFL coaches, who are the top 3 in regular season winning percentage? But I'll lower the minimum number of games to 60 (essentially 4 seasons).

Matt LeFleur
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - skip75 - 01-25-2024
LeFleur is #2 with a record of 56-27 (.675).
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - BobK - 01-25-2024
Ok Andy Reid
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - BostonCard - 01-25-2024
Does Jim Harbaugh count? As of yesterday he's an active NFL coach.
BC
RE: Sports trivia thread 2024 - skip75 - 01-25-2024
Reid is #3 with a record of 258-144-1 (.641). He is #1 if the minimum numbers of games is 100.
And yes BC - Jim Harbaugh is #1! His record is 44-19-1 (.695).

Given that we're closing in on the Super Bowl, I thought I'd pose a Super Bowl question.
The 49ers lost to the Baltimore Ravens 33-19 a few weeks back. It wasn't close to the worst regular season loss by a Super Bowl champion (cart waaaaaaay before the horse, I know). Five Super Bowl champions lost a game during the regular season by at least 30 points. Can you name the five? Here's the set up:
_________ lost 38-3 to the Saints (35)
_________ lost 40-8 to the Eagles (32)
_________ lost 48-17 to the Patriots (31)
_________ lost 31-0 to the Bills (31)
_________ lost 43-13 to the Texans (30)
The really interesting part is that three of the losing teams ended up beating the above winners in the playoffs. For extra credit, name the three winning teams.

The 40-8 game featured SF and Philadelphia. The lasting memory of that beauty was Young stomping around saying evil things about Seifert after he was pulled from the game. That was a classic “laid an egg” game.

Correct! And a hint...two of the other teams involve the same great quarterback.
