OT New Metric: How Frosty is Your Coach?

I have had some time (sleepless nights) to develop a new metric for CFB coaching, introducing the Frosty index. Based on the infamous Scott Frost Nebraska tenure and inspired by our own coach's woes and the Eberflus firing, I decided to develop a way for fandoms to determine how doomed their coaching situation is. It takes into account record in one score games, point differential in one score games, and overall win pct.

Frosty Score (V2) = ((one score L/one score win pct) * inverse of one score point diff * (1-total W pct))

Anything in the negatives rounds up to 0 meaning that your coach isn't frosty at all. I tried to control for a coach that has been coaching for a long time or has a lot of one score wins and for a coach that may have a handful of one score losses, but has a good overall win pct. Using one score losses and one score point differential is double dipping, but I wanted the final number to be a bit ridiculous to be honest. I know there are a few data scientist and stat nerds folks on here, so don't get mad at me, this is supposed to be for fun.

The V1 scores only use total one score losses and do not take into account W-L record in one score games.

Here are how a few recently active coaches stand up:

Coach V1 V2
Neb Frost Score: 1277.76 6899.904
UCF Frost Score: 0 0
Tot Frost Score: 1042 4298.25
Eberflus Score: 806.664 3871.9872
Pry Score: 320.256 4163.328
Rahne Score: 324 772.6153846
Rhule Score: 400 2383.333333

It is worth noting that Pry's one loss record is so lopsided that one more win would drop his score to around 2200.
