The Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award has released its preseason watchlist for the 2022 college football season. The award is self-explanatory in that it goes to the best coach in college football at the end of the college football season. It is announced during the week of the Peach Bowl, its counterpart. Like most college football awards it is unfortunately announced prior to the completion of the bowl season.
