A couple of these show a 3 win improvement YoY, so perhaps we should consider:
2022-2023 11-2……. 14-1 (Kalen DeBoer)
 
Now someone do biggest fall from previous year.
2024 may top that list.

6 is the biggest, Owens 1972 8-3 to 1973 2-9.
5 has happened a few times. The year after Dobie left, Enoch in the 1920s, Odell in the 1950s, Owens 1960 to 61, James from 1984 to 85, Gilby, 2019 Pete to 2020 Lake (Covid is the real reason butt still).
