Muscle Milk® and FootballScoop.com today announced a partnership creating a new “Coaches of the Year” award for 14 different position coaches in College Football. “The FootballScoop set of awards is unique from other “Coach of the Year” awards in that there is no other outlet that focuses on Position coaches and coordinators; whereas nearly every other “Coach of the Year” award is solely for a Head Coach”, said Scott Roussel, President of FootballScoop.
“We’re excited to team with FootballScoop and support this award recognizing these coaches for all the hard work they put in throughout the year”, said Chris Kildow, director of Sports Marketing for Muscle Milk (CytoSport, Inc). “We provide nutritional product support for over 125 College Football programs nationally so this award is a natural fit for us.”
Finalists have been chosen for the 14 awards from the following areas: Offensive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator, Special Teams Coordinator, Strength & Conditioning Coach, Quarterbacks Coach, Running Backs Coach, Wide Receivers Coach, Offensive Line Coach, Defensive Line Coach, Linebackers Coach, Secondary Coach, Division 1-AA Coordinator, Division 2 Coordinator and Division 3 Coordinator of the Year.
Cajuns Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach Ron Hudson was one of four finalists for Offensive Line Coach of the Year. Since Hudson’s arrival, the Cajuns running game has been ranked nationally in the top 10 percent of all NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams. The Cajuns ranked 7th in the nation in rushing in 2005, 11th in 2006 and 7th in 2007. This season, the Cajuns set the school single-game rushing record at ULM with 556 yards on 37 carries (15.0ypc). UL has 2,837 rushing yards (283.7ypg) – only 182 yards from the school record of 3,019. UL is currently third in the nation in rushing.
