A week after being named Pac-12 Coach of the Year, Mike Leach was named a finalist for another coach of the year award - this time, the Munger Award presented by the Maxwell Football Club. The award has been annually handed out to college football’s coach of the year since 1989.
Leach has led this years Cougar team to a 10-2 season and has the chance to become the only coach in program history to win 11 games when they take on Iowa State in the Alamo Bowl later this month. He has also led the Cougars to four straight bowl games - another first in program history.
