ST. LOUIS Missouri State head football coach Bobby Petrino was named as the Bruce Craddock Missouri Valley Football Conference Coach of the Year, the league announced Thursday with its annual all-conference selections. The Bears also received ten individual All-MVFC honors as part of the announcement.
In his first season at Missouri State, Petrino has led the Bears dramatic resurgence with a 5-1 conference record and MVFC co-championship this spring. MSU was picked to tie for ninth in the leagues preseason poll after Petrino inherited a program that won one game a year ago.
Petrino received 50 total points in the coach of the year voting, edging out South Dakota States John Stiegelmeier (46) and North Dakotas Bubba Schweigert (28).
