Friday, October 5, 2007 | Football
Gator fans are encouraged to visit www.coachoftheyear.com to vote for Meyer. The unique award honors college football coaches from all divisions of play for their combined coaching excellence, sportsmanship, integrity, dedication to academics, and community leadership based on a collective vote from fans, Hall of Fame voters and the media. The award is given to the coach who embodies responsibility - not only to his own team and players, but also in society and in his community.
Fans return to www.coachoftheyear.com between December 5 and 15 to vote among the finalists. An elite committee comprised of College Football Hall of Fame coaches and players, and members of the national college football media also will cast votes to determine the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year in each division. Fan votes contribute 20 percent to each coach's final score, with the Hall of Fame voters and media contributing 55 percent and 25 percent, respectively.
A half-hour ABC/ESPN special will profile the four winners on December 29 at 5:30 p.m.
