Coach of the year: Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia
After the Mountaineers were picked to finish seventh in the conference in the preseason, Holgorsen guided them to their best season since joining the Big 12 with record of 10-2. Despite losing several key players off last year's unit, West Virginia ranked second in the Big 12 in scoring defense and third in total defense; the Mountaineers also were second in rushing. Holgorsen, who joined Don Nehlen and Rich Rodriguez as the only West Virginia coaches to record multiple 10-win seasons, was recently rewarded with a five-year contract extension to remain in Morgantown. For this honor, Holgorsen edged out Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, who won his 10th Big 12 title over the weekend.
