This is about the worst way of measuring the ability of a coach that I can think of. Just as a quick example, think of it this way: Paterno's been coaching for about 50 years. Don't you think over the course of those hundreds of games, that he has had teams that simply didn't have as much talent as the team on the other side of the field? I'll bet there are some coaches that have beaten Paterno-led teams (and Miles-led teams, to bring the example home), that you've never even heard of or that you think are horrible coaches. Does this mean that these also-rans are better coaches than Paterno or Miles? Of course not. See the ridiculousness of your metric yet?
