 2010 Afca Trailblazer Award — Harry R. Jefferson
H
arry R. “Big Jeff” Jeffer-
son, best known for his
coaching career at Bluefield
State College, has been named
the American Football Coaches
Association’s recipient of the 2010
Trailblazer Award. The award will
be presented posthumously at the
AFCA President’s Kickoff Lun-
cheon on Monday, January 10 at
the 2011 AFCA Convention in Dal-
las. Jefferson passed away in 1966.
The AFCA Trailblazer Award
was created to honor early leaders
in the football coaching profes-
sion who coached at historically
black colleges and universities.
The award is given each year to a
person that coached in a particular
decade ranging from 1920-1970.
This year’s winner coached from
1930 to 1939.
“Coach Jeff” defied the odds
to direct Bluefield State College to
back-to-back national black colle-
giate football championships in the
Former Penn State Defensive Coordinator Jerry Sandusky
To Receive Afca’s 2010 Outstanding Achievement Award
J
erry Sandusky, former de-
fensive coordinator at Penn
State, is this year’s recipient
of the AFCA Outstanding Achieve-
ment Award. The AFCA Board of
Trustees created the Outstanding
Achievement Award to recognize
AFCA members, past and present,
who have achieved outstanding
success while coaching football.
Sandusky played for Joe Paterno
at Penn State from 1963 to 1965.
He was a graduate assistant for the
team in 1966, took assistant coach
positions at Juniata College in 1967
and Boston University in 1968, and
then returned to his alma mater
in 1969 as defensive line coach.
Coaching under Paterno, Sandusky
also served as linebacker coach be-
fore being promoted to defensive co-
ordinator in 1977. With Sandusky’s
leadership, Penn State gained
national recognition as “Linebacker

1920s and became commissioner of
the Central Intercollegiate Athletic
Association (CIAA).
After completing his educa-
tion at both West Virginia State
University and Ohio University,
Jefferson began his coaching career
at Wilberforce (Ohio) University.
In 1925, he was hired at Bluefield
State College and helped to build
a winning football program at a
relatively small school. Bluefield
usually didn’t have more than 100
male students at a time, so Jef-
ferson’s teams were often less than
30 men.
Jefferson left Bluefield in 1930
to coach at North Carolina A&T
College, but returned to Bluefield
two years later to coach the “Big
Blues” to a season record of 8-0-1.
In 1934, Jefferson made the move
to Virginia State University. Under
his leadership, Virginia State were
CIAA champions in 1936, 1938,
1939 and 1945, and won a Black
U” for its outstanding linebacker
play. In fact, Sandusky coached 11
First-Team All-America linebackers,
in addition to numerous NFL Hall
of Fame inductees. In his 32 years
at Penn State, Sandusky coached in
29 bowl games and was part of two
national championships in 1982 and
1986. His most memorable game
was perhaps his last, as he coached
the Nittany Lions to a 24-0 shut-out
against Texas A&M in the Alamo
Bowl. He retired at the conclusion
College na-
tional champi-
onship in 1936
with a 7-0-2
overall record.
His next stop
was Hampton
University in
1949 where
he coached until 1957, finishing
with an overall mark of 32-41-3.
In addition to coaching, Jefferson
exercised his leadership as Athletic
Director at Bluefield State, North
Carolina A&T and Hampton.
In addition to receiving the
2010 Trailblazer Award, Jef-
ferson was awarded a citation to
the NAIA Hall of Fame in 1961.
He served as commissioner of the
CIAA from 1961 to 1965, was
inducted into the Virginia State
Hall of Fame in 1980, and was the
first chairman and charter member
of the National Athletic Steering
Committee.
of the 1999 season to devote more
time to his nonprofit organization,
The Second Mile.
While Sandusky’s football
achievements are great, his contri-
bution to the community is to be
celebrated as well. His heart for
children fueled the 1977 founda-
tion of The Second Mile, an organi-
zation that “provides a network of
nine prevention, early intervention
and community-based programs
and services for children.”
Some of their programs include a
foster placement agency, counseling
services, several summer camps and
fundraising for families in need.
The Second Mile reaches out
to more than 100,000 children in
Pennsylvania each year and their
mission is clear: they don’t want
adversity to be a hindrance to a
child’s development and opportu-
nity for success.

 BOBBY BOWDEN TO RECEIVE
2011 AMOS ALONZO STAGG AWARD

F
ormer Florida State Uni-
versity head coach Bobby
Bowden has been named the
2011 recipient of the AFCA’s Amos
Alonzo Stagg Award.
The award, which honors
those “whose services have been
outstanding in the advancement
of the best interests of football,”
will be presented to Bowden at
the AFCA Awards Luncheon on
January 11 during the 2011 AFCA
Convention in Dallas, Texas.
“I’m excited about it,” Bowden
said. “I’ve been to the American
Football Coaches Association’s
conventions through the years
and I’ve been proud of the men
who have won this award. I never
thought that I’d win this award,
let alone be considered. When I
got word from Grant Teaff that I’d
been selected, I was thrilled.”
When Bowden retired as head
coach at Florida State in 2009, his
overall record stood at 377-129-4
in 44 years as a head coach, includ-
ing 34 as the head coach of the
Seminoles. His 377 wins rank him
second only to Joe Paterno in num-
ber of victories by an FBS coach.

had won only four games over
the previous three seasons. Four
seasons after Bowden first walked
on the Florida State campus, he had
taken the Seminoles to within one
game of a national championship,
posting an 11-1 record in 1979.
From 1987 to 2000, Bowden
coached Florida State to 14 straight
seasons with 10 or more victories,
and his teams had a final ranking of
fifth or higher in the Coaches’ Poll
those same 14 years.
During Bowden’s tenure, Flori-
da State won two national champi-
onships (1993, 1999), 12 Atlantic
Coast Conference championships
and played in 33 bowl games. His
teams set NCAA records with 11
consecutive bowl victories (1985-
95) and 14 straight bowl trips
without a loss (1982-95). During

became the first team to go wire-to-
wire as the Associated Press’ No. 1.
Under Bowden’s guidance, FSU
produced two Heisman Trophy
winners (Charlie Ward and Chris
Weinke), 26 consensus All-Amer-
icans, three Johnny Unitas Award
winners, two Thorpe Award win-
ners, two Butkus Award winners,
two Davey O’Brien award winners,
two Lou Groza Award winners and

 Shenendehowa (N.Y.) High School’s Brent Steuerwald
To Receive 2010 Power Of Influence Award
S
henendehowa (N.Y.) High
School head coach Brent
Steuerwald has been named
the 2010 Power of Influence Award
recipient. Steuerwald was nomi-
nated by the New York State High
School Football Coaches Associa-
tion. Presented jointly by the Ameri-
can Football Coaches Association®
and the American Football Coaches
Foundation®, the award will be
given to Steuerwald at the AFCA
Coach of the Year Dinner on Tues-
day, January 11, at the 2011 AFCA
Convention in Dallas, Texas.
The Power of Influence Award
was created as a way for the AFCA
and AFCF to honor a deserving high
school football coach. Coaches who
receive this award are recognized for
their impact on their team and play-
ers, as well as the legacy they leave
with the school and community.
This award is not based on wins
and losses; however, it is noted that
coaches of powerful influence have
longevity and success. It is the first
AFCA award specifically designed
to honor a high school coach.
“This is by far the most presti-
gious award that I’ve received in my
career,” Brent Steuerwald said. “I’ve
had other kinds of recognition that
just don’t equate to this because of
its national stature and its com-
petitive nature from all of the other
deserving coaches. It’s an honor I
take great pride in, and I will cherish
this for the rest of my life.”
Steuerwald began his coaching
career in 1957 as the varsity line
coach at Olean (N.Y.) High School.
He left after the 1963 season to
begin in the same role at Glens Falls
(N.Y.) High School, where he stayed
until 1967. At that time, he was
hired at Shenendehowa High School
as the school’s first athletic director.
It wasn’t long before Steuerwald
began work to create a football pro-
gram at Shenendehowa. With com-
plete support from the community
and the Board of Education, the first

football team took the field for the
1968 season. In his 43 years as head
coach, Steuerwald has coached the
Plainsmen to several titles. Shenen-
dehowa won back-to-back-to-back
state championships in 1982, 1983
and 1984. In 1992, they were New
York State runner-up, state finalists
from 1995-2002, and state semi-
finalists in 2003. Steuerwald has
guided the Plainsmen to 25 Section
2 AA – Empire League Champion-
ships and 10 Section II Champion-
ships. Steuerwald’s overall coaching
record stands at 307-87-4 after
guiding the school to a 7-3 mark
and an appearance in the Section II
Class AA Super Bowl in 2010.
“Brent Steuerwald is a true
leader with vision,” said Thomas W.
Heinzelman, president of the New
York State High School Football
Coaches Association. “The true
measure of his success and contri-
butions to the game of football lie
in the thousands of interpersonal
relationships that he has developed
throughout his illustrious career.”
Steuerwald is described by his col-
leagues and former players as a man
of great integrity, and a coach who
promotes character and sportsman-
ship. To him, football is more than
just winning. “Coach instilled in
me a focus, discipline and commit-
ment that has led to my successes
throughout my entire life,” said
former player, Michael E. Peacock.
In addition to the 2010 Power
of Influence Award, Steuerwald has
received several other recognitions
for his coaching talent. He has been
honored 19 times as Area Coach of
the Year, and was named National
Coach of the Year by the National
High School Athletic Coaches’ As-
sociation in 1995. In 1981, he was
named New York State Champion
Coach of the Year. He won Region
One Winner National Coach of the
Year five times over, first in 1982,
and then in 1985, 1988, 1992 and
1995. New York’s State Coaches
Association recognized Steuerwald
as Coach of the Year in 1982, 1988,
1992 and 1995. For three years in
a row, the New York State Sports
Writer’s Association named Steuer-
wald Coach of the Year (1982, 1983
and 1984). He served as president
of the Capital District chapter of the
National Football Foundation Hall
of Fame from 1987 to 2009 and won
their prestigious Leadership Award
for Contribution to Amateur Foot-
ball in 1994. Most recently, Steuer-
wald was inducted into the Shenen-
dehowa Hall of Fame in 2009.
Other finalists for this year’s
award were: Buddy Anderson,
