A selection committee of distinguished former head coaches, broadcasters and a committee representing the FWAA will select 15 semi-finalists, five finalists from the list of nominees, and an overall winner.

The 2023 Broyles Award winner was Phil Parker, who is the defensive coordinator at Iowa. Previous winners are not eligible to be nominated for the Broyles Award until the completion of three seasons.

Chad Scott, in his second year as the offensive coordinator, is in his sixth year on Neal Brown’s coaching staff at West Virginia. Scott was the co-offensive coordinator for his first three years, before serving as the run game coordinator in 2022 and has coached the running backs all five years.
