Details
Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint
sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/coaches/{coach_id}/record.
The records block is otherwise only reachable nested inside
espn_cfb_coach(); this wrapper exposes it tabular. Returns one row per
stat category. Each row carries the season-level summary/value
alongside the per-stat fields, so the table is self-describing. Enumerate
coach_ids with espn_cfb_coaches().
