I may have missed this somewhere, but this is a big deal for our Legend. Good for Fick. 

CINCINNATI — University of Cincinnati football coach Luke Fickell was named National Coach of the Year on Tuesday.

Fickell's win was announced by the UC athletic department in a press release.

UC became the first Group of Five conference team to make the College Football Playoff, finishing fourth in the final rankings by the College Football Playoff Committee. The Bearcats play No. 1 Alabama on Dec. 31 at the Cotton Bowl in the CFP Semifinal.

Fickell is the second UC coach to win National Coach of the Year after former coach Brian Kelly won the award in 2009.
