B-CU's Jenkins among finalists for Eddie Robinson Award

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida  --  The two coaches in Saturday's Football Championship Subdivision playoff game at Municipal Stadium were both named finalists Monday for the Eddie Robinson Award, given to the FCS national coach of the year.

Bethune-Cookman's Brian Jenkins and Coastal Carolina's Joe Moglia were among 20 coaches whose names will appear on the award ballot.

B-CU (9-2) will host Coastal Carolina (7-4) in a first-round playoff game at 2 p.m. Saturday at Municipal Stadium.

“Obviously this is an extreme honor to be named a finalist for an award of this magnitude,” Jenkins said. “This award not only shows the hard work of a head coach, his staff and players throughout the year, but also the hard work and dedication of a man for whom the award is named.

“Not only was (former Grambling State coach) Eddie Robinson an inspiration to me, but he paved the way for African-American coaches like myself and many more to reach new heights in the college football coaching ranks.”
