As the holidays approach, and non-conference play winds down, here’s a look at how the DI head coaches who were hired in the off-season have fared so far. This list is ordered by wins, win percentage, and the amount of DI wins (which helped sort the data, especially among the mid and low majors *I know no one likes to be called a low-major, sorry). Strength of schedule was not factored in.
