Vote for the Coach!
Make Eric Hamilton ’75 a finalist for the 2008 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award by casting your vote for him at www.coachoftheyear.com.
Help make Eric Hamilton ’75 a Finalist for the 2008 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award. Alumni can vote for Coach Hamilton at www.coachoftheyear.com by December 15 to Win $50,000 for Charitable Support and $20,000 for Alumni Scholarship.
Each winner receives $50,000 from Liberty Mutual to support his civic and charitable activities, $20,000 in scholarship to his school’s alumni association, and is recognized in the permanent Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year display at the National Football Foundation’s College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind.
During the initial fan-voting phase at www.coachoftheyear.com (September 17 – November 27), the top 25 vote getters in each division qualified to be evaluated by an objective model designed exclusively for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award and reviewed and endorsed by the College Football Hall of Fame. The model arrived at the finalists by scoring each of these qualifying coaches in four areas: coaching excellence, sportsmanship and integrity, academic excellence, and community commitment.
Fan votes in this second phase account for 20 percent of each coach’s final score, with a voting committee of college football media (25 percent) and College Football Hall of Fame coaches and players (55 percent) contributing the remainder.
