ESPN College Football Coach Season Record

Description

Get a college football coach's win/loss record for a single season – the headline summary plus every stat category ESPN publishes for that coach-season (wins, losses, ties, overtime wins/losses), in long format.

Usage

espn_cfb_coach_record(coach_id = NULL, year = NULL, season_type = 2)

Arguments

coach_id	(Integer required): ESPN coach id.
year	(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY). Minimum value accepted: 2001
season_type	(Integer default 2): ESPN season type – 2 for regular season, 3 for postseason.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/coaches/{coach_id}/record. The records block is otherwise only reachable nested inside espn_cfb_coach(); this wrapper exposes it tabular. Returns one row per stat category. Each row carries the season-level summary/value alongside the per-stat fields, so the table is self-describing. Enumerate coach_ids with espn_cfb_coaches().
