Louisville Biggest Win Total Changes --- Season to Season (up or down):

2017-2018 (DOWN 6: 8 wins to 2 wins) (Bobby Petrino) (2018 not finished)

2011-2012 (UP 4: 7 wins to 11 wins) (Charlie Strong)

2006-2007 (DOWN 6: 12 wins to 6 wins) (Bobby Petrino to Steve Kragthorpe)

2001-2002 (DOWN 4: 11 wins to 7 wins) (John L. Smith)

1997-1998 (UP 6: 1 win to 7 wins) (Ron Cooper to John L. Smith)

1996-1997 (DOWN 4: 5 wins to 1 win) (Ron Cooper)

1990-1991 (DOWN 8: 10 wins to 2 wins) (Howard Schnellenberger)

1989-1990 (UP 4: 6 wins to 10 wins) (Howard Schnellenberger)

1987-1988 (UP 5: 3 wins to 8 wins) (Howard Schnellenberger)

1972-1973 (DOWN 4: 9 wins to 5 wins) (Lee Corso to T. W. Alley)

Evidence of four more shifts of 4 or more wins from season to season in the 1950's and 1960's.

The "Bounceback" (Going from a Big DOWN to Big UP) only occurred one time in the Cards "modern history": After the terrible final Cooper 1997 season, John L. Smith came in and immediately turned it around in 1998.
