The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl released the preseason watch list for the 2022 Dodd Trophy, and Alabama coach Nick Saban, naturally, made the list.
The Dodd Trophy celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the field, while also “stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity.” The watch list was created by taking into consideration each program’s graduation rate, commitment to service and charity in the community, projected success for the 2022 season and APR.
“College football has seen many changes in recent years, but all of these coaches have held true to our award’s three pillars of scholarship, leadership and integrity,” said Jim Terry, chairman of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation, in a release.
