The third time was not a charm, so here it is for the fourth time. This, as the title suggests, is a list of head coaches for a football team. In its last two FLCs, it has received a combined total of one comment. All concerns from the now-ancient first nomination were addressed long ago, and I still believe that this is ready for the bronze star. Oh, and just as a side-note, this is a WikiCup nomination. Thanks to all who comment, - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 16:13, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I forgot this doesn't count for WikiCup. However, since it's delaying me nominating something for WikiCup, reviews are still highly appreciated :). - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 22:49, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Harrias
;Comments from Harrias talk
  • Can you update the bit in the lead for the 2014 regular season, given I believe that has now concluded?
  • Updated.
  • Might be worth putting a note in to explain "..in win percentage, with a perfect 1.000." Given that 1.000 is clearly not an actual percentage.
  • I tried to fit it in where it seemed best.
  • Also necessary to explain the "17–3" terminology, this isn't widely used in the UK for example (even more so for "3–13–2").
  • In the last paragraph, unless I'm misreading the table, isn't Ken Niumatalolo the leader now for bowl games, with 7? This is probably just a reflection of the lead stats not being up to date for the 2014 season?
  • Yes, I completely forgot to update following the (rather poor) 2014 season. I believe I've made all the necessary updates.
  • The key has a #, but the table has No.
  • Made consistent, the No. looks better.
  • I'm not a fan of the images at the bottom of the table, just creates a lot of white-space without adding much in my opinion.
  • This is due to a point made at the first FLC that this list didn't seem illustrated enough with just the lead image. I agree that it creates a large amount of white space, but, at least on my screen, moving the images anywhere else creates just as much, if not more. Removing them seems like the best option, so I'm going to go be Bold and remove them.

Overall a pretty sound list, and I'm amazed it hasn't gained the support needed to pass previously. Harrias talk 16:26, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments, and double thanks for the quick response time. I believe all of your concerns have been addressed. - A Texas Historian (Talk to me) 17:06, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sahara4u, Vibhijain, and Vensatry: Any chance that one or more of you can take a look at this? It's a great list, and it is on it's fourth review now without passing, purely through lack of reviews. I've reviewed each of your lists recently, and would consider it a great favour if you could lend A Texas Historian a hand by conducting a review. I know it is unfamiliar subject matter, but sometimes that actually improves the quality of the review. Thanks, Harrias talk 16:31, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, although I would suggest fixing the following:
    • Move the wikilink on "independent schools" to the first use of the term (in the second sentence)
    • In the tooltip on "3-13-2", it indicates that the 2 refers to "2 draws". I don't know much about American football, but isn't a game where the scores finish level referred to as a "tie" rather than a draw......?
  • Cheers, ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:32, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the support. I've moved the link to the first instance, and yes, they are referred to as ties. The template appears to have been designed for use with English football, and it currently doesn't allow for changing it to ties. However, the term is a synonym, so I think readers should still understand. - A Texas Historian (Impromptu collaboration?) 23:46, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support – with some minor comments

  • Ken Niumatalolo linked twice in lede
  • In the image, alternative text should name the subject per WP:ALT.
  • In simple math, percentage is a number or ratio always expressed as a fraction of 100. But here you've taken a 1.0 scale. I'm a "zero" in this topic, so can you please elaborate a little on this?
  • The hyphen in "2009-10 NCAA ..." (in ref #12) should be an en dash.
