BOSTON, Mass. –
University of West Alabama head football coach Bobby
Wallace has been nominated for the 2006 Liberty Mutual
Coach of the Year.
This award honors the
college football coach who best exemplifies
responsibility and excellence on and off the field.
During 30 years of
coaching, Wallace was named the NCAA Division II
National Coach of the Year from 1993-1995 and Division

A selection committee
including members of the College Football Hall of Fame,
the national media and fans will help choose the winner.
Fans across the
country are encouraged to visit

society and in his community. All football head coaches
at an NCAA-member college or university at all division
levels are eligible for consideration.
ABC will air a special
one-hour program, hosted by Hall of Fame broadcaster
Keith Jackson, profiling 10 Liberty Mutual Coach of the
