How NFL Head Coaches In Florida Stack Up Against The Spread

Few states in the U.S. share the intrinsic bond with the NFL that Florida does, with three franchises within its lines and some of the greatest teams in league history calling the region home.

For the three head coaches of the Jacksonville Jaguars (Doug Pederson), Miami Dolphins (Mike McDaniel) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Todd Bowles) — the trio’s success on the gridiron with their respective teams has been all over the ballpark.

Some, like McDaniel of the Dolphins, rank among the league’s best against the spread, while others (like Bowles of the Bucs) rank near the bottom.
