Fasching (12th season) received the John Gagliardi Coach of the Year Award for the seventh time in his career after guiding the Johnnies to the program’s 37th MIAC title and ninth trip to the NCAA Playoffs in the last ten seasons. A former MIAC student-athlete himself, Fasching was a three-year starter at linebacker for Gagliardi's Johnnies before spending 17 years as an assistant on the legendary coach's SJU staff. The MIAC Coach of the Year Award was renamed in honor of Gagliardi - college football's all-time wins leader - in 2013. (📸: Josh Johnston)
