DURHAM – Duke head football coach Mike Elko has been named the 2022 ACC Coach of the Year after guiding the Blue Devils to eight regular season wins and a second place finish in the Coastal Division.
Elko received 44 of the 65 ballots cast to outdistance Florida State's Mike Norvell (18 votes), Georgia Tech's Brent Key (1), North Carolina's Mack Brown (1) and Clemson's Dabo Swinney (1).
Elko became the program's first head coach to lead the Blue Devils to eight wins and a bowl berth in their first season at the helm since Fred Goldsmith did so in 1994 (8-4).
