The ACC and SEC lead the way with five coaches each represented on the list, followed by four selections from the Big Ten, three from the Big 12, two Pac-12 honorees and one coach from the AAC. This year's midseason list includes five former winners of the award, including last year's winner Luke Fickell (2021), Kyle Whittingham (2019), Nick Saban (2014), Dabo Swinney (2011) and Mack Brown (2008). Additionally, three of the coaches were finalists for last season's award, including Dave Clawson, Luke Fickell and Jim Harbaugh. This collective group of coaches have appeared in the College Football Playoff 19 times and have gone on to win 11 national championships. In the classroom, their teams have earned an average Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 978 and a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 82. "All of these coaches have shown strong leadership both on and off the football field amid the ever-changing college football landscape," said Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO & President Gary Stokan. "There is no doubt that their emphasis on student-athlete academics and involvement in their communities exemplifies the Dodd coaching qualities of leadership, scholarship and integrity. We look forward to seeing which of these elite head coaches separate themselves as we head into the second half of the 2022 season." A panel consisting of previous winners, national media, a member of the Dodd family and a College Football Hall of Fame member will identify the final list of potential recipients at the conclusion of the 2022 season. The winner of the 2022 Dodd Trophy will then be announced in Atlanta during the week of the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl. [/QUOTE]
