Since Shiano isn't in there, there is no one I can give it to.

I would say it is prett close between Shiano and Grobe...

I have Shiano with the edge, and if Rutgers beats WVU Shiano gets it for sure. The big east is stronger than the ACC this year.

I would say Stoops. What he has done with losing his Starting QB and was going to be Heisman Trophy Winner is remarkable.

If Rutgers wins on Saturday and makes the BCS, it's Schiano hands down.

If Wake goes to the BCS, it's Grobe hands down.

If they both go, they should BOTH get it.

Even the love affair with Petterson wouldn't have gotton him any higher than third after they lost the two games early on.

Grobe. To take WF to the ACCCG is a real accomplishment.

Where is Tressel??? He lost almost an entire defense and ran the table. Also he stayed at #1 the ENTIRE SEASON. I say that in itself deserves coach of the year.

Staying number 1 the entire season only proves you did what you were supposed to. Great coach, but this was widely expected.

Really??? I heard and even stated myself that I thought Ohio State was a 2 loss team. When you replace 6 outta seven up front, that takes a helluva coach to get them where they should be on the field.

They had 3 tough games. Michigan was very difficult. Texas was never the second best team in the nation. Penn State can play good or bad on any given day. They played OSU tough though.

Even then, OSU was better than all of those teams. OSU hasn't overachieved in any way, and in my mind, a coach has to overachieve by a lot to win the award.

When do they announce the winner?

Be pretty tough to argue with a guy that leads his team to an undefeated national championship season, if Ohio State does in fact win it.
