Paul "Bear" Bryant Award

Paul "Bear" Bryant Award

The Paul 'Bear' Bryant Award is an award that has been given annually since 1986 to NCAA college football's national coach of the year. The Award was named in honor of longtime Alabama coach Bear Bryant after he died of a heart attack in 1983. It is voted on by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association, and proceeds from the awards ceremony benefit the American Heart Association. The College Football Coach of the Year Award began in 1957 and was renamed for Bryant in 1986. Bryant himself won the earlier award in 1961, 1971 and 1973. cite book |first=Allen|last=Barra|title=The Last Coach: The Life of Paul "Bear" Bryant|date=2005|publisher=W.W.
