That would be a great honor and hope he gets it.
Kentucky's Jimmy Heggins has been named a finalist for National Offensive Line Coach of the Year by FootballScoop.com.
Heggins is one of three finalists and fans can vote for him online.
Here's what was written about Heggins' performance by FootballScoop:
“Kentucky offensive line coach Jimmy Heggins developed a consistent experienced group of linemen that helped the Wildcats average 193 yards per game rushing, the highest at Kentucky since 1993. Without starting quarterback Mike Hartline for most of the season, the Wildcats turned to freshman Morgan Newton and operated out of the “Wildcat Formation” in several different ways. The Cats fought their way to 7 wins and are bowl eligible once again. Under Heggins, the offensive line allowed just 1.25 sacks per game (24th best in the nation) and ran the ball effectively against Alabama. The front five received praise from head coach Rich Brooks frequently this season for their improvement.
“19th nationally – Rushing Offense (193 yards per game)
24th nationally – Fewest Sacks Allowed (1.25 per game)”
