"I feel very honored to have been voted to receive this award from the AFCA in recognition of our efforts this season," said Oliver. "While my name is tied to it, this is really an indication of how hard our players and assistant coaches have worked leading up to this season. I'm fortunate to have great people around me, and in this game you win with people." Oliver led the Blue Raiders to an 8-3 overall record and a 3-3 record in the Mid-South Conference East Division during the 2013 season. Oliver's eight wins is a program best at Lindsey Wilson, second to the seven the Blue Raiders recorded in 2011. This is the first year Lindsey Wilson was rated in all nine regular season coaches' polls as well as the final poll in which they were ranked No. 19. Lindsey Wilson started the season 5-0 and reached its highest ranking of the season at No. 14 in the NAIA Coaches' Top-25 Poll following the programs best start to a season. "I'm confident in the direction of our program," explained Oliver. "Our young men have come a long way and accomplished a great deal in our short four year history. I'm excited about continuing to work our process as we look towards the future of Blue Raider football." The regional coach of the year award is the second for Oliver who started the Lindsey Wilson program from scratch. Oliver was named 2011 Region 1 Co-Coach of the Year by the AFCA. The AFCA recognizes five regional Coach of the Year winners in each of the Association's five divisions: Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division III and NAIA.
