This is a doozy. Big Ten Coach of the Year. Easy, right? Wait a minute......
Here is a list of the years and schools where the B10 CoY lost more than 2 games in their seasons. This is overall record, so a B10 CoY who went 10-2 will not be on this list, but if his team went 6-6, he's here.
See? A doozy! No research, just try your best. Good luck!
2016 (tie - 2 coaches) Wisconsin, Penn St (both 11-3)
2014 Minnesota (8-5)
2012 Penn St (8-4)
