jay vidovich??? Ok, Jay vidovich did a remarkable job this past year and Wake Forest did have a great year. I commend him on that. However, I beleive that the Coach of the Year is someone that had the most impact on his team's success. Ultimately, who can motivate his players adn convince them to do things they thought they couldn't do. With that in mind, my vote for coach of the year would have to go to Furman's Doug Allison. First off, just the facts, they broke two NCAA records for most consecutive conference victories and most consecutive shutout minutes and games. They had the best winning percentage in the country, and I realize that Wake Forest was undefeated but did tie alot. They also made it to the sweet sixteen before losign in double overtime to the eventual runner up Stanford. Wake lost in that same round to Clemson who a week later was beaten easily by Stanford. All this is great, but the most incredible thing Allison did was bring his team back so strong after the incredible tragedy their team went through. They cancelled one game, but after a week, he had them ready to play and they didn't give up anotehr goal for over a month. He made success out of the worst of circumstances, adn got his players to play on adn have an incredible year. Like I said, Vidovich, was a good coach this year, but Allison was a great coach. My vote goes to Allison for the south.

Do you have a vote??? To answer your question, no, i am not an actual participant in the voting process, I don't actually have a ballot. Of course i was not saying that i was going to physically vote for Allison, all i was saying is that i thought he deserved it. I was expressing my opinion. I thought that was what these message boards were for in the first place. Do you have a vote or an opinion? I would like to hear what yours is. And I promise i would not idiotically mistake your opinion for some actual vote that you ahve made and i wont assume that you have any part in how the coaches of the year are chosen. What i do assume is that when this thread was started, it was for the purpose of finding out what people think abotu the choices of coaches of the year. Thats what i did, expressed what i thought. However, its totally my fault, I should have never said that "my vote goes to Allison". I should have known that there would be ignorant people out there that would think that i really did vote for someone. Try not to be so realistic, and maybe even try to come up with an opiiinion or two of your own.
Lets separate the Boys from the MENS Which coach have work without a foreing top gun and still made a good job??????????
