Dave Clawson was named the ACC's coach of the year on Thursday morning.

Clawson is the first Wake Forest football coach to snag the honor since Jim Grobe in 2006 -- notable timing, given that was the Deacons' last ACC championship and they play Pittsburgh on Saturday in the ACC championship game.

The vote, determined by a collection of media and coaches in the ACC, was not all that close:

Clawson and Pat Narduzzi both have their respective teams at 10-2 overall and 7-1 in the ACC. Pitt was in the ACC championship game in 2018, losing to Clemson 42-10.
