WINNIPEG, MB - The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are proud to announce that Head Coach Paul LaPolice has been nominated for the Annis Stukus Trophy as the CFL's Coach of the Year after leading his team to an East Division Championship and an appearance in the 99th Grey Cup.

In only his second year as head coach, LaPolice orchestrated one of the biggest turnarounds in CFL history by taking a team that finished 4-14 a year ago and leading them to a 10-8 record and a first-place finish in the East Division for the first time since 2001. It was also the team's first East Division championship since 2007.

LaPolice will be up against BC's Wally Buono and Edmonton's Kavis Reed for the honour. The winner will be announced on Friday, March 2nd at the 51st Coach of the Year celebration held at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Toronto, Ontario.
