I'll try to go step by step.
Games are decided by points.
Teams that score a lot and give up few are good.
This is where it gets confusing.
You might play teams that are good or bad.
So how much you score and allow to be scored can change based on how good your competition is.
If you play lots of games, you can add up all those "numbers" and divide them by how many times you played.  This tells how you did on average. 
Computers can adjust that margin up or down based on the averages of the teams you played.

Wow what a mouthful

But what's great about using facts instead of emotions is you can compare coaches who played different schedules

Now there is a downside to using facts.  Some people don't like facts.  Facts make them sad if they have already decided what they want to believe is true.  Often times sad people in this predicament will, as very uncouth rude people might say, throw shart against the wall

This sadness can lead people to think that there was a huge difference in facilities between 2009 and 2015 where it would be only reasonable to expect far better average adjusted scoring margins.

I see a trend where the end of Pasqualoni's tenure looks pretty similar to Marrone/Shafer/Babers on average with a 4 year debacle in between. I had big hopes for babers and it's hard for me to admit he's average.  It really hurts my feelings.  But here i am admitting he's average because I try not be a baby.
