...and for our purposes, his ATS record is incredible.
Meyer has been a cover machine. During his time at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State, Meyer has amassed an impressive 122-90-1 (57.28%) against-the-spread (ATS) record.
Through 11 years of combined Florida and Ohio State head-coaching, Meyer?s teams have been underdogs just 12 times. His record as an underdog is an amazing 10-2 (83.33%) ATS ? 5-0 at OSU and 5-2 at Florida.
Similar to finding an Urban Meyer team as an underdog, his teams are seldom the betting side getting the minority of the public betting (although it has happened more often than the underdog category). To be precise, his teams have been the minority betting side in just 24.48% of all games. Overall, Meyer?s record when the majority of the public is betting against him is 65.71% ATS ? 8-4 (66.67%) at OSU and 15-8 (65.22%) at Florida. An example of such a game from the 2016 season is when Ohio State faced Nebraska: The game closed with Ohio State as 17.5-point home favorites. OSU got just 30% of the public betting, yet the Buckeyes beat the Huskers 62-3, covering the spread by a whopping 42.5 points. Most importantly, Meyer?s winning percentage in this category while at Ohio State and Florida are nearly identical.
In The Betting Black Book, one of the categories I found worth noting was called Total Preparation. The Total Preparation category included any game for which a coach had at least 10 days to prepare (without having to play another game in the interim). That category included the first game of the season, bye weeks, and bowl games. Urban Meyer has won an extremely-profitable 71.79% of those games ATS ? 11-6 at OSU and 17-5 at Florida.
Not too shabby. :0008
I?ll see OSU laying eight points this line seems very fishy to me playing against the Washington team that didn?t score an offense of touchdown in the pack 12 championship be very wary of the Buckeyes in this bowl game, this line I believe this is only going to go up up and up.:shrug:
The only real connection i have in college sports works on meyers staff.
He said pain and health is real bad
He said his healths been declining for years.
Says he is obssesive
He said meyer probably walked a hole into his carpet during his suspension from just pacing around the house.
Controversial yes he is but coaching ability is unrivaled outside of saban

Feel Bad for him in some ways..... He did "A Lot" for that University in his time there, and he feels they left him out to dry...Definitely some angst left in that cup but hope he doesn't go out as a victim....I think that might sully the process and his reputation some..
Previous poster intimated as to him bein compulsive...Stories out there I didn't believe....Are they true?? false?? I don't know but where theres smoke right??? Unfortunately, because of his health, he was out of options and that in itself is sad.
Sorry to see him go, as he was a consistently friendly ticket, to those of us who engage in such things.....
Love em or hate em, he was a hellova coach.
