How much pressure do head coaches feel from their alumni to cover the spread?

[gummo]

Gus Malzahn feels none.

None of them do.............

These coaches make several hundred k a year and some make millions.

The pressure they feel isn't from some joe blow betting $100 on a game. Get real.

I'm pretty sure he's joking

It happens…….

Hmmm. I think actually wealthy alum men wager a plenty and I'm sure it's large. It's not really on a coaches radar (or shouldn't be), but I think they're aware of it and prob comments are made from time to time. I can't say this firsthand but that's my opinion. And back in the day, before the workplace became so tight, I think it happened all the time. Wouldn't surprise me if certain coaches were cover machines.

Mack Brown was just asked this on tv and said the same thing. Said coaches don't look at spread or pay attention to it pre game but most definitely hear about it post game.


BTW --- only mid major coaches getting paid hundreds of thousands. SEC and big 5 schools are all getting millions per year.

Except there are lot of big shots, that bet hundreds of thousands a game. Irish gangs, Russian, Italian gangs. It's very real.
