re: The biggest bowl win for each coach compared to total games coached.

Saban lost to UAB and got blown out in the Cotton Bowl before he won his first national title.

That's true at LSU. At Alabama he inherited a terrible Shula roster and went 7-6, including a home loss to Louisiana Monroe in his first year. In year 2 he went 12-0 and then lost to Tebow in the SECCG and Utah in the Sugar Bowl. Year 3 was a national championship. Now that's a 3 year program turnaround arc, it's not the arc Kelly appears to be in.
