Michael Haywood Earns AFCA Assistant Coach Of The Year Award
Irish offensive coordinator helped team average 489 yards per game (10th in the country) and throw for 334 yards per game (fourth in the country).
Dec. 1, 2005
The American Football Coaches Association announced its 2005 Assistant Coach of the Year winners this week, and Notre Dame offensive coordinator/running backs coach Michael Haywood was named Assistant Coach of the Year for NCAA Division I-A.
One assistant coach in the five different divisions of college football has been selected for their dedication to their teams and communities.
Each year, staff representatives from NCAA and NAIA football-playing schools are asked to nominate an assistant for consideration. From those nominations, a winner is selected by the AFCA Public Relations Committee. The winners for this award were selected in NCAA Divisions I-A, I-AA, II, III and the NAIA.
The Assistant Coach of the Year award was first presented in 1997 and was created to honor assistant coaches who excel in community service, commitment to the student-athlete, on-field coaching success and AFCA professional organization involvement.
The 2005 honorees are:
Division I-A-Michael Haywood, Offensive Coordinator & Running Backs Coach, University of Notre Dame
Division I-AA-Galen Scott, Linebackers Coach, Illinois State University
Division II-Cary Fowler, Defensive Coordinator & Linebackers Coach, Midwestern State University
Division III-Dan Garrett, Assistant Head Coach & Defensive Coordinator/Recruiting Coordinator, Kean University NAIA-Allen Friesen, Assistant Head Coach & Defensive Coordinator, Dana College
"Once again, five outstanding assistant coaches have been selected for their dedication, not only to their teams, but to their communities," said Executive Director Grant Teaff. "Often times, the head coach receives much of the credit for his team's success. Any head coach is only as good as his assistants. Much of an assistant coach's work is done behind the scenes. It is our pleasure to bring it to the forefront."
The criteria for the award is not limited to on-field coaching ability and the success of the team and players that these assistant coaches have worked with. Service to the community through charitable work and other volunteer activities, participation in AFCA activities and events, participation in other professional organizations and impact on student-athletes are all taken into account in the selection process.
