there's the list of new coaches this year... i have them coming in at 52-61 ATS......
but i think you can differentiate them by whether the coach left voluntarily or not. some are a bit hard to tell. UTEP and Purdue are 2 that come to mind
anyway, here' the list of 1st year coaches 2 games above 500 ATS..
syracuse 3-1
TT 3-1
wisc 4-0 (wow, surprises me)
utah state 3-1
col 2-0
ore 3-0
and that is all the ones that are two games above. in each case, except colorado, the coach voluntarily left for another opportunity. not totally sure about TT but the coach i think officially resigned to go to cincy. maybe someone can chime in.
list of coaches 2 games under 50% ATS
purdue 1-3 (retirement or forced retire?)
fiu 0-4
lt 1-3 (left better)
idaho 1-3
nms 0-4
kent state 1-3 better...
ark 1-3
cal 0-3
so 5 or 6 of the 8 losing programs had their coaches pushed out.
year 3, that i think phil steele thinks is the key year, is 32-32 a real mix..... good ATS: minnesota, ntexas, utsa, ball..... bad ats: tulsa, vandy, florida,.... no real insight on these. only minnesota (good) and tulsa (bad) really stand out to me.
