2011 Annual AFCA ConventionJanuary 10-13• World Center Marriott • Orlando, Florida

26 January 2011 coachad.com

I urge you to make a plan to maximize your time and experi-ences at this and every AFCA

Convention you attend. The days are packed with opportunities to learn and grow … speakers, clinics, buzz sessions, luncheons, etc., are all useful tools that you should take full advantage of.

Attend the Master Coaches Series … plan on it! Who could for-get Bo Schembechler emphatically smacking a table and telling us to properly teach “tackling” to our players? Remember when Mack Brown stressed the importance of finding “joy” in our work? This poignant reminder of how to battle the stress of the job will always ring loud and clear for all who attended that session.

Another session that I remember is Lou Holtz and John Gagliardi enter-taining the audience with both humor and coaching wisdom. Hearing these great coaches and others give their unique perspec-tive on our profession will be an immeasurable aid to you and your program.

The many clinic pre-sentations are outstanding and proper planning with you and your staff can al-

low all of you to attend nearly all the sessions, then come together and share notes and ideas on the lessons learned. Young coaches greatly benefit from relating what they heard in a clinic to other staff members. I encourage you to make a plan for your entire staff and maximize their opportunities to learn.

Another benefit of the conven-tion is it’s an opportunity to talk meaningfully with a friend. It is difficult for all of us during the season to make time to talk to friends we have in the profession, and the convention affords a great chance to connect with people that are important to us. Plan your time accordingly to catch up with your peers. Grab an early morning coffee

in a great spot. Go to dinner with wives if possible. If you pre-plan these activities in advance and fol-low through with them, it makes your experience at the convention that much more meaningful.

My years on the Board of Trustees has been a wonderful experience because of the people I have been able to work with and get to know. My thanks go to Grant, Mel, Janet, Sandi, Todd, Vince, Walter, Layne, Amy, Sara, Adam, Kevin, Jordan, Lori, Jan, Tai, Johnny, Alyssa and McCall, for the great work each of you do for all coaches.

2010 AFCA Trailblazer Award — Harry R. Jefferson

Harry R. “Big Jeff” Jeffer-son, best known for his coaching career at Bluefield

State College, has been named the American Football Coaches Association’s recipient of the 2010 Trailblazer Award. The award will be presented posthumously at the AFCA President’s Kickoff Lun-cheon on Monday, January 10 at the2011AFCAConventioninDal-las. Jefferson passed away in 1966.

The AFCA Trailblazer Award was created to honor early leaders in the football coaching profes-sion who coached at historically black colleges and universities. The award is given each year to a person that coached in a particular decade ranging from 1920-1970. This year’s winner coached from 1930 to 1939.

“Coach Jeff” defied the odds to direct Bluefield State College to back-to-back national black colle-giate football championships in the

1920s and became commissioner of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association(CIAA).

After completing his educa-tion at both West Virginia State UniversityandOhioUniversity,Jefferson began his coaching career atWilberforce(Ohio)University.In 1925, he was hired at Bluefield State College and helped to build a winning football program at a relatively small school. Bluefield usually didn’t have more than 100 male students at a time, so Jef-ferson’s teams were often less than 30 men.

Jefferson left Bluefield in 1930 to coach at North Carolina A&T College, but returned to Bluefield two years later to coach the “Big Blues” to a season record of 8-0-1. In 1934, Jefferson made the move toVirginiaStateUniversity.Underhis leadership, Virginia State were CIAA champions in 1936, 1938, 1939 and 1945, and won a Black

College na-tional champi-onship in 1936 with a 7-0-2 overall record. His next stop was Hampton Universityin1949 where he coached until 1957, finishing with an overall mark of 32-41-3. In addition to coaching, Jefferson exercised his leadership as Athletic DirectoratBluefieldState,NorthCarolina A&T and Hampton.

In addition to receiving the 2010 Trailblazer Award, Jef-ferson was awarded a citation to the NAIA Hall of Fame in 1961. He served as commissioner of the CIAA from 1961 to 1965, was inducted into the Virginia State Hall of Fame in 1980, and was the first chairman and charter member of the National Athletic Steering Committee.

Former Penn State Defensive Coordinator Jerry Sandusky To Receive AFCA’s 2010 Outstanding Achievement Award

Jerry Sandusky, former de-fensive coordinator at Penn State, is this year’s recipient

oftheAFCAOutstandingAchieve-ment Award. The AFCA Board of TrusteescreatedtheOutstandingAchievement Award to recognize AFCA members, past and present, who have achieved outstanding success while coaching football.

Sandusky played for Joe Paterno at Penn State from 1963 to 1965. He was a graduate assistant for the team in 1966, took assistant coach positions at Juniata College in 1967 andBostonUniversityin1968,andthen returned to his alma mater in 1969 as defensive line coach. Coaching under Paterno, Sandusky also served as linebacker coach be-fore being promoted to defensive co-ordinator in 1977. With Sandusky’s leadership, Penn State gained national recognition as “Linebacker

U”foritsoutstandinglinebackerplay. In fact, Sandusky coached 11 First-Team All-America linebackers, in addition to numerous NFL Hall of Fame inductees. In his 32 years at Penn State, Sandusky coached in 29 bowl games and was part of two national championships in 1982 and 1986. His most memorable game was perhaps his last, as he coached the Nittany Lions to a 24-0 shut-out against Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl. He retired at the conclusion

of the 1999 season to devote more time to his nonprofit organization, The Second Mile.

While Sandusky’s football achievements are great, his contri-bution to the community is to be celebrated as well. His heart for children fueled the 1977 founda-tion of The Second Mile, an organi-zation that “provides a network of nine prevention, early intervention and community-based programs and services for children.”

Some of their programs include a foster placement agency, counseling services, several summer camps and fundraising for families in need.

The Second Mile reaches out to more than 100,000 children in Pennsylvania each year and their mission is clear: they don’t want adversity to be a hindrance to a child’s development and opportu-nity for success.

BOBBY BOWDEN TO RECEIVE 2011 AMOS ALONZO STAGG AWARD

FormerFloridaStateUni-versity head coach Bobby Bowden has been named the

2011 recipient of the AFCA’s Amos Alonzo Stagg Award.

The award, which honors those “whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of football,” will be presented to Bowden at the AFCA Awards Luncheon on January 11 during the 2011 AFCA ConventioninDallas,Texas.

“I’m excited about it,” Bowden said. “I’ve been to the American Football Coaches Association’s conventions through the years and I’ve been proud of the men who have won this award. I never thought that I’d win this award, let alone be considered. When I got word from Grant Teaff that I’d

been selected, I was thrilled.”When Bowden retired as head

coach at Florida State in 2009, his overall record stood at 377-129-4 in 44 years as a head coach, includ-ing 34 as the head coach of the Seminoles. His 377 wins rank him second only to Joe Paterno in num-ber of victories by an FBS coach. Bowden is fourth on the all-time coaching victories list behind John GagliardiofSt.John’s(Minn.),Ed-die Robinson and Paterno.

Bowden began his coaching careeratHowardCollege(nowSamford)in1954asassistantfoot-ball coach and head track coach. He left his alma mater after two years to be the head football coach and athletics director at South Georgia Junior College in 1956. He returned to Samford as head coach

in 1959, posting an overall record of 31-6 in his four seasons. Bowden then joined the staff at Florida State from 1963-65 before moving on to WestVirginiaUniversityasoffen-sive coordinator from 1966-69. In 1970, he took over as head coach at West Virginia, earning a 42-26 overall record from 1970-75.

Bowden took the reins at Flor-




ida State in 1976. The Seminoles had won only four games over the previous three seasons. Four seasons after Bowden first walked on the Florida State campus, he had taken the Seminoles to within one game of a national championship, posting an 11-1 record in 1979.

From 1987 to 2000, Bowden coached Florida State to 14 straight seasons with 10 or more victories, and his teams had a final ranking of fifth or higher in the Coaches’ Poll those same 14 years. DuringBowden’stenure,Flori-

da State won two national champi-onships(1993,1999),12AtlanticCoast Conference championships and played in 33 bowl games. His teams set NCAA records with 11 consecutivebowlvictories(1985-95)and14straightbowltripswithoutaloss(1982-95).Duringthe 1999 national championship season, which was Bowden’s only

undefeated team, the Seminoles became the first team to go wire-to-wire as the Associated Press’ No. 1.UnderBowden’sguidance,FSU

produced two Heisman Trophy winners(CharlieWardandChrisWeinke),26consensusAll-Amer-icans,threeJohnnyUnitasAwardwinners, two Thorpe Award win-ners, two Butkus Award winners, twoDaveyO’Brienawardwinners,two Lou Groza Award winners and two Lombardi Award winners.

Bowden is a 2006 National Football Foundation College Foot-ball Hall of Fame inductee. That same year, Bowden also received the National Football Foundation’s Gold Medal, which is the orga-nization’s highest award. He is a four-time AFCA Regional Coach of theYear(1977,1979,1987,1996),two-time Southern Independent CoachoftheYear(1977,1979),ABC-Chevrolet National Coach

The AwardThe Amos Alonzo Stagg Award

is given to the “individual, group or institution whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of football.”

The award is named in honor of a man who was instrumental in founding the AFCA in the 1920s. He is considered one of the great innova-tors and motivating forces in the early development of the game of football. The plaque given to each recipient is a replica of the one given to Stagg at the 1939 AFCA Convention in tribute to his 50 years of service to football.



Shenendehowa(N.Y.)HighSchool head coach Brent Steuerwald has been named

the 2010 Power of Influence Award recipient. Steuerwald was nomi-nated by the New York State High School Football Coaches Associa-tion. Presented jointly by the Ameri-can Football Coaches Association® and the American Football Coaches Foundation®, the award will be given to Steuerwald at the AFCA CoachoftheYearDinneronTues-day, January 11, at the 2011 AFCA ConventioninDallas,Texas.

The Power of Influence Award was created as a way for the AFCA and AFCF to honor a deserving high school football coach. Coaches who receive this award are recognized for their impact on their team and play-ers, as well as the legacy they leave with the school and community. This award is not based on wins and losses; however, it is noted that coaches of powerful influence have longevity and success. It is the first AFCA award specifically designed to honor a high school coach.

“This is by far the most presti-gious award that I’ve received in my career,” Brent Steuerwald said. “I’ve had other kinds of recognition that just don’t equate to this because of its national stature and its com-petitive nature from all of the other deserving coaches. It’s an honor I take great pride in, and I will cherish this for the rest of my life.”

Steuerwald began his coaching career in 1957 as the varsity line coachatOlean(N.Y.)HighSchool.He left after the 1963 season to begin in the same role at Glens Falls (N.Y.)HighSchool,wherehestayeduntil 1967. At that time, he was hired at Shenendehowa High School as the school’s first athletic director. It wasn’t long before Steuerwald began work to create a football pro-gram at Shenendehowa. With com-plete support from the community andtheBoardofEducation,thefirst

football team took the field for the 1968 season. In his 43 years as head coach, Steuerwald has coached the Plainsmen to several titles. Shenen-dehowa won back-to-back-to-back state championships in 1982, 1983 and 1984. In 1992, they were New York State runner-up, state finalists from 1995-2002, and state semi-finalists in 2003. Steuerwald has guided the Plainsmen to 25 Section 2AA–EmpireLeagueChampion-ships and 10 Section II Champion-ships. Steuerwald’s overall coaching record stands at 307-87-4 after guiding the school to a 7-3 mark and an appearance in the Section II Class AA Super Bowl in 2010.

“Brent Steuerwald is a true leader with vision,” said Thomas W. Heinzelman, president of the New York State High School Football Coaches Association. “The true measure of his success and contri-butions to the game of football lie in the thousands of interpersonal relationships that he has developed throughout his illustrious career.” Steuerwald is described by his col-leagues and former players as a man of great integrity, and a coach who promotes character and sportsman-ship. To him, football is more than just winning. “Coach instilled in me a focus, discipline and commit-ment that has led to my successes throughout my entire life,” said formerplayer,MichaelE.Peacock.

In addition to the 2010 Power of Influence Award, Steuerwald has received several other recognitions for his coaching talent. He has been honored 19 times as Area Coach of the Year, and was named National Coach of the Year by the National High School Athletic Coaches’ As-sociation in 1995. In 1981, he was named New York State Champion Coach of the Year. He won Region OneWinnerNationalCoachoftheYear five times over, first in 1982, and then in 1985, 1988, 1992 and 1995. New York’s State Coaches

Association recognized Steuerwald as Coach of the Year in 1982, 1988, 1992 and 1995. For three years in a row, the New York State Sports Writer’s Association named Steuer-waldCoachoftheYear(1982,1983and1984).HeservedaspresidentoftheCapitalDistrictchapteroftheNational Football Foundation Hall of Fame from 1987 to 2009 and won their prestigious Leadership Award for Contribution to Amateur Foot-ball in 1994.
