The Eddie Robinson award is named after legendary Grambling head coach and is in its 31st season.

A national panel of over 150 sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries will select the recipient.

Two previous Ohio Valley Conference coaches have won the award, including Murray State’s Houston Nutt in 1995 and Southeast Missouri’s Tony Samuel in 2010.

In his second season, Healy took a team that had won just one of its previous 48 games and led the team to an 8-4 overall record and 7-1 OVC mark. The eight wins tied a program record (established by the 1977 Championship team), while the seven conference wins were the most in school history.
