Big Ten coaches, all time
Where do Purdue's coaches stand among every head coach the Big Ten has had? The same measures the site applies to Purdue alone, applied to all 150 coaches with at least two conference seasons since 1907, and to the 65 of them who coached in the full-field era from 1985 on.
What the ledgers say
Three ledgers, kept apart. Winning is record and era-weighted accomplishment. Strength is how good the teams rated against the field. Beyond strength is what a coach's teams did over and above what their own ratings predicted: conference wins above expectation, game by game, and tournament wins above the rating-based expectation. A coach can be high on one and middling on another, and several are.
Since 1985, Matt Painter ranks #8 of 65 on winning, #10 on strength, and #13 on results beyond strength. Gene Keady, over his 1985-2005 seasons, ranks #17, #23, and #14. On the measure that best isolates what a coach adds, Keady's teams won 10.0 more conference games than their ratings predicted and Painter's 9.0, essentially the same figure over the same number of seasons. Both trail their rating-based tournament expectation slightly (-1.9 and -1.0 wins).
The top of the strength and winning ledgers belongs to Bo Ryan, Bob Knight, Tom Izzo, Thad Matta, and Bill Frieder among coaches with long tenures, with Bill Self's three Illinois seasons and Dusty May's two Michigan seasons ranking above them on small samples that the tables flag rather than hide. Izzo stands alone at the top of the beyond-strength ledger, the one place where thirty-one seasons of doing more than the roster suggested shows up as a number. All-time, on conference winning percentage, Ward Lambert's twenty-nine Purdue seasons rank #10 of 150, measured without any strength adjustment because none exists for his era.
Read the small-sample flag before the rank. A two-season coach at the top of a ledger is a promising start, not a career. The floor of two seasons was chosen deliberately so that current coaches appear; the flag is the price.
Floor: a coach needs at least 2 Big Ten member-seasons to appear in either ledger below, so a coach with exactly 2 or 3 seasons (Dusty May among them) is a small early-career sample, flagged in the "small sample" column rather than hidden. Window: the strength-, conf-wins-above-expected-, and tournament-based columns exist only for 1985-2026, since they depend on the full-field rating (Tier A/B); the all-time ledger below covers 1907-2026 on the measures that don't require a rating (record, conference percentage, titles per season, accomplishment per season). 2026 caveat: 2026 team-season figures (rating, schedule strength, overall/conference record affecting these coaches' current-season rows) are built from the 2025-26 regular season and Big Ten tournament only - no 2025-26 NCAA tournament data exists in this project's source files, so 2026 contributes no NCAA seed, bid, win, or round figures to any coach's totals. Three ranks, never blended: "winning" (win percentage and accomplishment per season), "strength" (mean rating_z), and "beyond strength" (conference wins above what a team's own ratings predicted, plus NCAA tournament wins above the rating-based expectation where at least 5 tournament games exist) are reported as separate ranks in every ledger below and never averaged together into one number.
1985-2026 ledger, sorted by strength (mean rating_z)
65 coaches qualify (≥2 Big Ten seasons, 1985-2026). The seed-diff column is informational only (tournament performance vs. the historical win rate for that seed line across the whole field) and is not used in any rank.

1985-2026 ledger, sorted by beyond strength (conf wins above expected / tournament wins above expected by rating), top 25
Conf wins above expected has a natural zero: actual Big Ten regular-season conference wins minus the sum of that season's pregame win probabilities for each conference game, from the fitted ratings. Tournament wins above expected by rating is blank for coaches with fewer than 5 NCAA tournament games, so a one- or two-game sample can't top this list.

All-time ledger, 1907-2026, sorted by accomplishment per season
Every coach with ≥2 Big Ten member-seasons 1907-2026, on the measures available across the whole span (record where known, conference percentage, titles per season, NCAA bids/wins/Final Fours where known, accomplishment per season). Strength-based columns are blank before 1985. "Coverage" is the share of a coach's seasons with a known overall (non-conference-only) record; a low coverage figure means the record total below it is a partial sum, not evidence the coach played fewer games.
