TicketsCINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati football head coach Luke Fickell was one of 22 named to the midseason watch list for the 2019 Dodd Trophy, the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl announced Thursday.
The Dodd Trophy, college football's most coveted coaching award, 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 philosophy.
The midseason watch list was created through a selection process by the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, taking into consideration each program's current performance during the 2019 season, Academic Progress Rate (APR), and each coach's commitment to service and charity in the community.
Fickell, in his third year at UC, was also tabbed for the Dodd Trophy watch list in 2018.
The No. 21 Bearcats (5-1, 2-0 AAC) return to Nippert Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 19 to face Tulsa at 3:30 p.m. ET. UC will honor the 2009 Bearcats football team which went 12-0 in the regular season, won the BIG EAST Conference title and played in the 2010 Allstate Sugar Bowl. The game will be televised on ESPNU and air on 700 WLW AM.
A panel consisting of all previous winners, national media, a member of the Dodd family and a College Football Hall of Fame members will identify a list of finalists at the conclusion of the 2019 season. The winner of the 2019 Dodd Trophy will be announced in Atlanta during bowl week at this year's College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.
