🏈 Bear Byrant coach of year who will it be

[gc90]

Will Saban get it this year

 

[UAgrad93]

For all of the injuries his team dealt with and overcome to accomplish winning his 6th Natty, he should.
Don’t be shocked if they go politically correct and give it to Scott Frost though.

He did win the Natty this year too. Hard to argue against Frost. :eyeroll:

Frost or Smart...
Nick aint going to get it....
Even though he deserves it...
What he did..was through the years recruiting.....
Having dimes to replace nickles.....over n over....

Why would that be politically correct?

 

[rick4bama]

Frost already won the Dodd didn't he, so he will be the one. If not then it will be Smart.

 

[gc90]

is this award only given to non Bama coaches. Maybe there is a stipulation somewhere

 

[UAgrad93]

Why would that be politically correct?

With the run Saban has been on, look at all of the “Coach of the year” awards CNS has won! 2-3 in 11 years! There is BAMA fatigue even in the awards. Granted Frost had a great season, but my saying “politically correct” means we are giving everybody a participation trophy for doing their job! Hell! Gus was up for SEC coach of the year and he lost 4 games!! WTH?

I'd hope they would look at more than just wins and championships when announcing a Coach of the Year.

Scott is the safe choice, sure, but it's hard to compare his potentially wining the award to getting a "participation trophy".

This is CNS best coaching job EVER without doubt. Frost or Kirby will get it.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Will Saban get it this year

He's not nominated.

"Paul Chryst – University of Wisconsin
Clay Helton – University of Southern California
Scott Frost – formerly with the University of Central Florida now with the University of Nebraska
Gus Malzahn – Auburn University
Jeff Monken – Army
Kirby Smart – University of Georgia
Dabo Swinney – Clemson University"

 

[gc90]

who is on the selection commitee ... that sucks

 

[rick4bama]

He's not nominated.

"Paul Chryst – University of Wisconsin
Clay Helton – University of Southern California
Scott Frost – formerly with the University of Central Florida now with the University of Nebraska #2
Gus Malzahn – Auburn University
Jeff Monken – Army
Kirby Smart – University of Georgia #1
Dabo Swinney – Clemson University"

I would vote on Smart, then maybe Frost.

 

[PhillyGirl]

I would vote on Smart, then maybe Frost.

My thoughts as well. Monken, maybe, as #3.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

My thoughts as well. Monken, maybe, as #3.

Well...maybe..but it will be Frost..
Undefeated season...came bk to coach bowl....
And more important...won the National championship....
Has to be true..i saw it on a tee shirt

Idiots got year wrong...unless they are projecting forward

That looks like a fanmade shirt/site.

Has the university actually moved forward with championship merchandise yet?

 

[PhillyGirl]

Don't get me wrong, the UCF claim makes me laugh, but we have at least one equally laughable championship claim.

I think you should look at the entire season as well. What things has the team and staff overcome? The sheer longevity of Saban and this run should have him an automatic nomination as a finalist each year!! What Frost did was outstanding but prove you can do it consistently! Saban graduates his kids, they stay out of trouble, the Work he does outside of Football as well should be considered.
