Coaches of the Year

[Vowelguy]

If I were voting, here's who I'd probably go with:

AAC - Geno, runnerup Tonya
ACC - JPM (!), runnerup Wes Moore NC St
B12 - probably a slight edge to Karin Aston over Kim
B10 - No idea. A down year. Maybe Kim Barnes Arico?
PAC - Scott Rueck OSU, runnerup Tara & Kelly Graves Ore
SEC - Mitchell KY, runnerup Miss St guy
BgE - Creighton coach

Who will actually win?

Wait a minute, have you not heard? "There's not a new sheriff in town, yet."

Kim wouldn't be a bad B1G choice, but could be Brenda or Kevin under "best team" rules. I think the others may be correct. Not Kelly Graves, not having a great season. I would take Miss. State over Ky.

I'm going with Geno. No All-Americans and look what they've done this year: 10-0 vs. ranked opponents.

SEC-Vic Shaefer Is the Miss St coach and way more deserving than Mitchell. I get that Mitchell has had little to work with but that is all his own doing as they all left.
Big10-usually does default to winningest teams in a land of nobodies. Maybe Michigan's Arico?
Nationally Geno, Vic (if he wins SEC) and Ashton if she wins Big12 would be top 3

 

[HuskyFan1125]

My choices!

AAC-Geno.
ACC-Wes Moore
B1G-Kim Barnes Arico
SEC-Vic Shaefer
Big12-Karen Astin
PAC12-Scott Rueck--much like GA--lost quite a bit and still is at the top

PAC - Scott Rueck OSU, runnerup Tara & Kelly Graves Ore

A case can be made for all 3 of those coaches, but I would add Jim Neighbors from Washington to the list of candidates as well.

I'll agree with all of it except I'd go with Vic Schaefer in the SEC.

Mike Neighbors?

 

[TARZAN22]

I would go with K.Aston of Texas.

oops

Let me preface this by saying, I think Geno is the best coach in all of sports. But I'm giving the AAC Coach of theYear to The Temple coach, Ol' Whatshername.

I get where you're coming from, but against UConn, a top-25 TU exhibited nothing resembling an offensive structure, and her team lacked defensive energy for most of the game. They do have some nice wins, and I'm glad to see it. Tonya at least deserves to be in the discussion somewhere.

Geno said the UCF coach should get it in the aac.

Well, goooly.

 

[jdubct]

I think it will be hard to vote against Geno as AAC coach of the year with a likely and totally unexpected undefeated season. It would be ironic if he won the national coach of the year but not the AAC coach of the year.

Lol,
Geno doesn't need it. No matter who gets the overall award, everybody knows Geno is way above them in terms of great coaching. The NC is the prize.
Now who would benefit the most from the award, I think is the question (wife says I don't know how to do that).
I almost think it should be Holly (TN), for putting up with so much resistance from alot the UT fans and still hanging in there, and actually putting up some decent numbers.
How about her incoming class? How'd she do that???? Might settle down VolNation a bit.
Now, I wouldn't actually vote for her, but it's been an interesting year. Food for thought.
Now, after saying that, maybe I should just go back to not thinking again.

If you included the A10 I would give it to the Dayton coach, Shauna Green. Hired just weeks before the season started and took them to the regular season A10 championship and the #1 seed in the tournament, plus an NCAA bid. This is her first head coaching job. Of course I am prejudiced, as I am a UD alum, but I think this was a great accomplishment.

 

[LO TRADER]

My choices!

AAC-Geno.
ACC-Wes Moore
B1G-Kim Barnes Arico
SEC-Vic Shaefer
Big12-Karen Astin
PAC12-Scott Rueck--much like GA--lost quite a bit and still is at the top

Thank you for recognizing the job Scott Rueck has done this year--simply amazing.
