Boston (PRWEB) November 19, 2009 -- Jim Tressel led Ohio State University’s football team to three national
championship games and four consecutive Big Ten conference titles, while encouraging his student athletes to be
active members of their community. Jerry Kill led Northern Illinois University’s team to a four-win improvement
from 2007 to 2008, earning them a trip to the 2008 Independence Bowl while assisting cancer patients and their
families with medical costs and other expenses through his own charitable fund. Liberty Mutual Insurance
profiles these motivational coaches, and the inspirational stories of other Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year
Award candidates who strive to lead their college teams to greatness, both on and off the field, in weekly Coach
