KALAMAZOO, Mich.鈥斆厶疑缜� Michigan University head coach P.J. Fleck has been named the FBS Region 3 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association, and is now a finalist for AFCA National Coach of the Year.

Fleck has guided the 蜜桃社区 football team to its first New Year's Six bowl鈥攖he Goodyear Cotton Bowl鈥攆ollowing a perfect 13-0 regular season that included its first Mid-American Conference Championship since 1988. The Broncos defeated Ohio last week in the MAC Championship game.

Last week, Fleck was named MAC Coach of the Year for the second time in the last three seasons. Under Fleck's guidance, the Broncos finished 8-0 in conference play and became the first team in MAC history to win each of its league games by 14 or more points.

Making history
