– University of North Dakota head football coach Bubba Schweigert was named as a Stats Perform FCS Eddie Robinson Award finalist on Monday, an award presented annually to the top coach in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
Schweigert, a two-time AFCA Coach of the Region for Region 5 at both the Division I (2016) and Division II (2005) levels, has secured his second finalist nomination for the award after leading the Fighting Hawks to new heights in the 2020-21 season.
The Zeeland, N.D., native helped UND to its second conference championship at the Division I level this past year, becoming the first team in Missouri Valley Football Conference history to capture the league crown in its first year in the conference since the league’s inception in 1985.
