Congrats to Coach Fickell for making the Dodd Trophy Watch List. Hopefully he gets serious consideration for the award the when the season ends.
Per GoBearcats
University of Cincinnati football head coach Luke Fickell was one of 22 named to the midseason watch list for the 2019 Dodd Trophy, the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl announced Thursday.
The Dodd Trophy, college football’s most coveted coaching award, celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the gridiron, while also stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity – the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd’s philosophy.
The midseason watch list was created through a selection process by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, taking into consideration each program’s current performance during the 2019 season, Academic Progress Rate (APR), and each coach’s commitment to service and charity in the community.
Fickell, in his third year at UC, was also tabbed for the Dodd Trophy watch list in 2018.
