BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana head football coach Tom Allen has been named the 2020 Werner Ladder AFCA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) National Coach of the Year. He was honored during a virtual AFCA Convention awards presentation on Tuesday.
Allen was selected by a vote of the active AFCA members at FBS schools. He joins Bo McMillin (1945) and John Pont (1967) as the only IU head coaches to earn Werner Ladder AFCA FBS National Coach of the Year recognition.
"Tom is very deserving of this honor, which recognizes the remarkable job that he has done in propelling our football program to a level of success that we have not enjoyed in decades," IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson said.
