PHILADELPHIA – Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson was announced a 2021 semifinalist for the George Munger College Coach of the Year Award, which is presented yearly by the Maxwell Football Club. The list includes a field of 15 candidates for the award who have been selected by the MFC National Selection Committee.

The finalist round will include the top five coaches as selected in the semifinalist round. Finalist voting will open Dec. 30 and run until Jan. 11. The winner will be announced Jan. 13. The formal presentation of the Munger Award will take place at the 85th Maxwell Awards Gala which will be held on Friday March 18th at Harrah's Atlantic City Resort.
This comes just one day after Coach Clawson was named a finalist for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year award and two weeks after being named both the 2021 ACC Coach of the Year by the ACC and the Associated Press.
Wake Forest's 10-3 record this season marks the second time in program history that it has won double-digit games and Coach Clawson is now only head coach in NCAA history to win at least 10 games in a single season at four different Division I institutions.
Wake Forest is 15-2 at home since the start of the 2019 season. Additionally with a perfect 6-0 mark this season, the Deacs recorded their first undefeated home record for the first time since 1979 and just the third time since Wake Forest's 1970 ACC Championship team. Meanwhile, six home wins ties the program record that was set in 2019.
Wake Forest has won nine-straight games inside Truist Field which marks the longest home winning streak in program history. The streak dates back to the win over Campbell on Oct. 2, 2020.
Wake Forest is tied for 10th in the country to play at least nine bowl eligible teams entering the Championship Weekend of the season.
Wake Forest placed a program-record 15 players on the 2021 All-ACC Teams last week and ranks fifth among all FBS teams in scoring at 41.2 points per game.
Nationally after climbing into the top 10 of the Associated Press and Amway Coaches Poll this season, the Wake Forest football team achieved its highest ranking in the College Football Playoff Poll in school history when the first ranking was released on Nov. 2 as the Demon Deacons were tabbed as the No. 9 this week according to the CFP selection committee.
Dave Clawson is 50-48 in his eight-year tenure with the Demon Deacons. He is one just five head coaches in program history to have a winning record in his coaching career at Wake Forest and the first since D.C. "Peahead" Walker (77-51-6; 1937-50).
