There are plenty of first-year coaches who are planning on blazing their individual trail at respective new programs this year.
Steve Sarkisian is starting a new tenure in Texas, Josh Heupel is now at Tennessee, and Bryan Harsin's at Auburn.
These are all great candidates for the award, BUT, we believe that Gus will ultimately win the award when it's all said and done.
What do you think? Can Gus Malzahn take home the honor this year?
