Big ten assistant coach of the year

Coach Lowery came in with an idea and mindset on the defensive end and CCC let him install his D and the guys bought in and then some.
Probably the most important hiring of an assistant coach since Fitz hired Hank and let him run the D for our football program.
An award for Coach Lowery and definitely well deserved and earned.

Apparently it was so deserved that they created a new award just to make sure we'd know that they know.
 
Everyone on the board who knows about BB has been saying it all season so I'm not surprised. Hope he gets a big raise and an extension. Kudos to CCC for letting him do his job.
 
Let’s not overlook the fact the award is a named in honor of Coach Moore.
