Independent Coach Wins Against The Spread
No, the Independents aren’t Group of Five, and there aren’t that many coaches who have a body of work to have a good sample size – Jerry Kill is new at New Mexico State, Jim Mora Jr. is taking over UConn, Marcus Freeman only has one game in at Notre Dame, and Don Brown has been gone from UMass for over a decade. For the other three below, the ATS records only count at their current schools.
