Babers is one of seven coaches in contention for the award, which is presented by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. The award recognizes coaches in college football who embody the award's three pillars of scholarship, leadership and integrity, both on and off the field.
