FootballScoop has proudly announced finalists for the 2016 FootballScoop Coach of the Year awards on the offensive side of the ball.
Now in its ninth year, the FootballScoop Coach of the Year awards program presented by ProGrass are the only coaching awards chosen entirely by their peers. Coaches must be nominated by a fellow coach to be eligible for an award and winners are chosen by the prior winners of each award.
The FootballScoop Coach of the Year awards program honors a total of 17 coaches, recognizing outstanding work done by FBS coordinators and position coaches, divisional coordinators and essential FBS support staff. Finalists for defense and special teams, divisional coordinators and essential FBS support staff will be announced in later releases.
Winners will be revealed throughout the month and will receive their awards at the AFCA Convention in Nashville in January.
