It’s no secret that the key to winning a football game, literally, by rule, is to score more points than the other team. It’s always been that way, and it always will be that way.

So it should seem obvious that teams prone to scoring points in bunches are historically better than their low-scoring counterparts. Reddit recently tried to turn this theory into fact, publishing a list of every FBS head coach’s win-loss record when his team scored at least 30 points in a given game. The list only takes into account games dating back to the 2000 season.

Take a look at some of the win-loss records by SEC coaches when their teams have scored at least 30 points in a game since 2000. You’ll notice that not only does every coach listed below have a winning record, but a record well above-500.

NOTE: Every coach listed above spent at least one full season since 2000 leading an SEC program, but those coaches’ records also include stints at other non-SEC schools since 2000.

For what it’s worth, the same trend holds true outside the SEC. Here are the records posted by some well-known coaches from non-SEC schools when their teams have scored at least 30 points in a  game since 2000.
