Another award has been bestowed on head coach Willie Fritz.

Fritz was named the 2012 “Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year” in the FCS level earlier today after leading the Sam Houston State Bearkats to an 11-4 record and a second consecutive NCAA Division I Championship Game in Frisco, TX.

Fritz has received $70,000 that will go to the charities of his choice ($50,000) and scholarships for the Sam Houston State University Alumni Association because of his committment on the field and off.
