DALTON,
Ga., Jan. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
more things change in the world of college football, the more
things stay the same.
With terms like "NIL," "transfer portal," and "conference
realignment" continuing to capture headlines, the Georgia Bulldogs put an exclamation on back-to-back
championships with a perfect 15-0 season.
This marked the first time in the playoff era that a team won
back-to-back championships.
Still, the backbone of college football remains its coaches. And
we are honored to announce the winners of the 2022 FootballScoop
Coaches of the Year awards presented by AstroTurf. These awards are
the only set of awards that recognize the most outstanding position
coaches in college football.
The finalists for each award were selected from nominations by
coaches, athletic directors, and athletic director personnel. The
prior winners of the award then choose the winner from the list of
finalists. If asked, most of the winners will tell you that this
award means much more than others because it is chosen by their
peers. Now in its 14th year, the FootballScoop Awards
presented by AstroTurf has grown into a highly anticipated event
within the football coaching profession. Awards are handed out to
the winners at a reception during the American Football Coaches
Association Convention each year.
