Thanks for reading and your comment. ...Hi, Tommy. Thanks for reading and your comment. I thought you made a really good point, so I dissected Donnan's 7-15 fourth-quarter-trailing record and Richt's 9-37 in terms of if the coach was favored or the underdog entering those games. My findings:<br /><br />Of the 7 times Donnan's teams won when trailing entering the 4Q, 4 times they entered the game as underdogs, 3 times as the favorite. Of Richt's 9 wins, just once were they underdogs, 8 times the favorite.<br /><br />Of the 15 times Donnan's teams lost when trailing entering the 4Q, 8 times they entered the game as underdogs, 7 times as the favorite. Of Richt's 37 losses, 19 times they entered the game as underdogs, 18 times the favorite.<br /><br />So, if anything and for what it's worth, although the losses are about equal for both coaches, it appears Donnan's comebacks were mostly upsets while nearly all of Richt's were against teams he should have been beating all along.<br /><br />Thanks, again.--PatrickPatrick Garbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356915340772134104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004306236917286956.post-42911590906403222252014-10-30T12:11:10.494-04:002014-10-30T12:11:10.494-04:00It would be interesting to look at which individua...It would be interesting to look at which individual games those coaches' teams won after trailing in the 4th quarter. I suspect, especially with Donnan, we pulled out a lot of games against teams we should have been beating all along. The same might be true of Miles as well. Whereas Richt probably came by most of his losses pretty honestly (i.e., not a lot of upsets).Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209673809885376664noreply@blogger.com
