Coach Wins Against The Spread: Group of Five, Independent Ranked From Best To Worst

Coach Wins Against The Spread: Who are the best and worst Group of Five coaches when it comes to covering?

Sun Belt Coach Wins Against The Spread

With the exception of new head coaches – like Clay Helton at Georgia Southern – the ATS records only count the coach’s time in the Sun Belt with his current team. This year, the new schools count the time in Conference USA. Also, new first time head coaches – Michael Desormeaux at Louisiana, Jon Sumrall at Troy, and in his first year in the FBS, Curt Cignetti at James Madison.
