Best coaches in college football right here except for possibly Mack Brown.
Brown knows he needs to keep his texas alum happy and do his best to cover.

Obviously there is some sort of minimum game requirement to be on this list, right?
2 season coaches that have a solid ats record are out there

Golden was money for me at Temple. O'Brien has regressed since going to NC st but great info EH.

[Jeff Grant]

I'm thinking the Mike Gundy gold mine as a home favorite will end in 2012

Only 1 im a little surprised to see is mack brown, he was prob a cover machine at unc tho

[milwaukee mike]

and some people still say not to bet chalk in college football lol

[frogsrangers]

Gary Patterson's must be front loaded in losses

He was 10-3 ATS in 2010
9-4 in 2009
11-2 in 2008

That's 30-9 (76%) in the 3 years I was there

Last year may have screwed things up... I think he was 7-6

Do you have a breakdown of this for 'as a favorite' and 'as underdog' ? Home and away. Those would be interesting.

[raydog]

common....chris peterson not on the list? ...

ahh...obviously not be limited to Head coaching career...earlier years as wr and qb coach were with some shit teams...my bad

[greenhippo]

So blindly take OSU this year then.

[Sunde91]

Petersen is at 58%

You got this from Beyond the bets? The table isn't the same one from the article but the numbers are

Mike gundy has infused confidence and a winning attitude around okst. The warrior spirit is high. Expect them to blow out non-conf opponents and have inflated lines for in conference games. Then its Fade city. At least thats what my model is forecasting.

I'm sure if you found that information, coaches with the worst percentage or covering would be insightful as well...
Nice stats for sure though thanks

that's unneeded b/c all of those who have failed to cover, have been fired.

[cyptomcat]

Can you sort this also as dogs vs. favorites?

I found the bowl ATS records for HC on beyondthebets.com, but not overall ATS records.

Love betting on Iowa when they are rolling

Made good money with them a couple years ago

Didn't expect Kirk Ferentz to be that high on the list though
