Norfolk State University football coach Pete Adrian has been named the recipient of the Marion E. Jackson Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Coach of the Year Award, as announced by the 100% Wrong Club of Atlanta, Ga.

Adrian will be recognized at a banquet and reception next month in Atlanta.

In November, Adrian was named the 2007 MEAC Coach of the Year in voting by league head coaches. Adrian was also a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award, given annually to the Division I FCS Coach of the Year.

After taking over a program that won two games combined in 2003 and 2004, Adrian has turned NSU into a winner in just three years. After consecutive four-win seasons his first two years (2005 and 2006), Adrian guided the Spartans to an 8-3 record in 2007, the school’s most wins since 1984. Under Adrian’s guidance, NSU clinched the program’s first winning record in the Division I era (since 1997) and won a program-best six MEAC games (6-2 record) after being picked to finish seventh in the preseason poll.

About the 100% Wrong Club
The 100% Wrong Club was established in 1934 by 12 sports enthusiasts in the city of Atlanta for the purpose of recognizing collegiate athletes in the 1920’s and 1940’s. Today the club continues to maintain its historical link to the past and has expanded its scope by also recognizing local community leaders and national pioneers in the field of sports and social justice. Each year, after the college bowl games, the club celebrates with an All Sports jamboree that includes a kick-off reception, a high school awards breakfast, a press reception and an awards banquet.
