What Coaches are Notorious for Covering the Number?

[JohnnyMac]

I think Jim Tressel is aware. Who else?

 

[SoonerBS]

Urban Meyer for sure . . . .

 

[jimmymo]

Run it up Pete is always good for a fist pumping late TD to cover....

 

[sdf]

mack brown will if he can

but urban should top this list for sure

 

[THAFIX]

The ole ball coach use to be at the top!!!

 

[kidman232]

im not sure if its covering the number but rather running up the score for better perceived rankings

 

[GoSooners]

Mike Leach by a country mile. Up 43-7 and putting his first units back in the game against SMU last season with a couple minutes left just to score a TD to make the cover was so blatantly obvious that I'll NEVER bet against TT at home facing non-bcs teams. If you were drowning in quicksand Mike Leach would throw you a boat anchor.

Jim Harbaugh is notorious for scoring when he's won and the game is in the waning seconds, scoring TD's, not taking a knee, costing people money who fade his team. He's a prick. Or to some he's a gluttonous hero.

Not vs Navy he won't...

 

[CoachCB]

Urban Meyer easily.....

 

[GoForIt]

Hopefully, Joe Pa. He has won 125-10 in his last 2 opening games. Obviously, Akron is a tougher opponent, but how much tougher?

 

[midman2161]

I have seen Urban and Pete do it countless times.. they know the deal

Are these all facts and not just speculation by angry bettors who have lost close games? If these really are true, and the stats back up the fact these coaches cover the spreads, then why not bet on these teams every time? We could all be rich.

I can remember on a few occassions Joe going the length of the field then taking a knee before putting it away... much to my dismay

I think for the first week or two than it is valuable information in the name your number type games against inferior oppenents.. coaches will do anything to keep the boosters/hometown fans happy. Obviously it is irrelevant once you get into the tight conference games where games are played closer and the only goal is to win

 

[METFAN]

Mike leach is numbers 1,2 and 3..i hope they get their ass kicked this yr and no i did not bet against him

 

[PokerKingJim]

Bob Stoops is always good for the end of the game 2 minute drill to cover the 40 point spread

 

[substyle]

urban meyer's late FG last year against miami is reason enough for me to never bet against his team again.

 

[AlwaysKeen]

Urban Meyer
Pete Carroll
Mack Brown
Jim Tressel
Bob Stoops (especially at home)
June Jones
Les Miles
Greg Schiano
Todd Graham
Chris Peterson
Chris Ault

Dan Hawkin's was the worst I have ever seen when he was at BST, although Meyer's body of work at UTAH and FLa is hard to dispute.
