Division 1-A Coach of the Year Lou Holtz
- It was enough that the Notre Dame coaching legend guided South Carolina to the biggest one-year turnaround in Southeastern Conference history. But more remarkable, is the way he did it. The 63-year-old abandoned some of his old standards and implemented an offensive and defensive style that left longtime Lou-watchers gasping. He also used tactics other coaches would dismiss as too New Age: He got his players to tell their teammates about their rocky pasts so the entire team could move forward together. And guess what? It worked.

High School Coach of the Year Cathedral Prep (Erie, Pa.) Mike Mischler
- He gave up a six-figure job in sales to pursue the career he loves - coaching football. It paid off this year when his team snared the state title a year after they lost it when one of his own calls backfired.
