Does Coach Saban have a shot at this award? I hope so.

I hope he gets it. Has any Alabama coach won this award since it became the Paul Bryant award? Did Coach Stallings win it?

;w;w

Thanks for the info. So if Coach Nick Saban wins it this year it will be the second time, twice.

Second time for an Alabama Coach to win it and second time for Coach Saban to win it.

Roll Tide!

Utah's coach is much more deserving.

What are the criteria for the award? I know he's not popular around these parts, but it seems strange to me that Urban isn't on the list after the season UF had.

Then again, any award that gives a lifetime achievement trophy to Barry Switzer is pretty suspect to begin with. :wink:

Didn't they name a feminine hygiene product after him? :lol: This guy is a piece o' work!
