Good points, BC. If my calculations are correct, Stanford's overall conference record, going back to the PCC in 1919, is 356-307-20. If I count each tie as 1/2 win and 1/2 loss, that comes out to a 53.6% win percentage. Shaw's overall conference record the last four years is 61.1%.
WSU's overall record is 481-525-38. I'm not going to take the time to calculate the overall conference record, but I'd be willing to bet that it is below 50% wins. So I suppose from that perspective Leach's record from the past four years is more impressive than Shaw's.
If you really want to be impressed, consider what Bill Snyder did at K-State.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
