The Dodd Trophy is one of college football’s most meaningful national coaching awards, and “celebrates the head coach of a team who enjoys success on the gridiron, while also stressing the importance of scholarship, leadership and integrity – the three pillars of legendary coach Bobby Dodd’s coaching philosophy.”
This year’s preseason watch list includes a total of 26 of the top college football coaches across the country. The selection process is being run by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Peach Bowl, Inc.
The selection criteria takes into account “each program’s Academic Progress Rate (APR), Graduation Success Rate (GSR), commitment to service and charity in the community, as well as projected success for the 2025 season.”
A midseason watch list will be released in the fall that will narrow down the list of coaches before the eventual winner is announced during the College Football Playoff Semifinal in Atlanta.
