The HCR rating is the percentage above the results that the average coach would be expected to deliver at the programs where they have been head coach.
NOTE: Since recruiting rankings only go back to 2001, anything that happened before 2005 is not included in the rankings. Therefore, all Career rankings encompass only 2005 to the present time. For example, Steve Spurrier’s career ranking would include only his time at South Carolina and not his time at Florida.
