The Canadian Football League announced today that Montreal Alouettes Head Coach Marc Trestman has won the Annis Stukus Trophy at the 2009 CFL Coach of the Year. Hamilton's Marcel Bellefeuille and Saskatchewan's Ken Miller were also finalists. Trestman has led Montreal to the CFL's best record over the last two seasons with a 26-10-0 mark (their 15-3-0 record in 2009 was the best in franchise history), two East Division Championships, two Grey Cup appearances and one Grey Cup victory. The Als were undefeated at home in 2009, scoring at least 600 points for the second year in a row while allowing just 324 points against - a team record and the second lowest total by any team since the CFL moved to an 18-game schedule in 1986. This marks the first time Trestman has won this award after being nominated in his first season in 2008. He was also named the CFLPA's Coach of the Year in both 2008 and 2009.
