... after a timeout.

Is Turner Gill a better coach than Nick Saban? After a timeout, he is.

No, Turner Gill is not a better coach than Nick Saban. Saban has four national titles, and Gill saw his coaching star go dim at Kansas, of all places. But in one measure, maybe he is: how his teams perform after a timeout.

Let me set a scene:

Saturday, October 11th, 2014. McLane Stadium, Waco. TCU, after blowing a 21-point lead they held a mere 10 minutes earlier, is tied with Baylor 58-58. There is 1:17 left in regulation and TCU has the ball at midfield, facing a fourth-and-9. TCU head coach Gary Patterson elects to punt, but a substitution infraction gives the Frogs five yards and yields a fourth-and-4 at Baylor’s 45.

And here is one of the charts they reference ...

And their summary ...

So, there you have it. By one measure, Turner Gill is a better coach than Nick Saban. Is the measure simple, maybe flawed, and likely not considering more specific game situations, such as down/distance, which team called the timeout, etc.? Yes. But still, if Turner Gill is looking for another D1 job, maybe he could boost his résumé with this info.
