For leading the Indiana University football team to a 6–2 record and an appearance in January’s Outback Bowl, head coach Tom Allen was named the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) National Coach of the Year.
The program’s 2020 achievements include being ranked nationally for 10 consecutive weeks (reaching No. 7 on December 13), including a No. 12 ranking in the final poll, and playing in consecutive January bowl games for the first time in school history.
“I am so humbled and honored to be voted by my peers and the fellow coaches of this country,” Allen says.
