The Paul "Bear" Bryant College Football Coaching Awards is an exclusive event that honors a college football coach whose great accomplishments, both on and off the field, are legendary. The award recognizes the masters of coaching and allows them to take their deserved place in history beside other legends like Bear Bryant.

I can't think of a more deserving coach.

How fortunate we are as VT fans to have had one of the classiest coaches of all time, followed by a successor who seems to value the same high standards that have been the norm in Blacksburg for decades.

I hope the award is big enough for this move again.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

The video Virginia Tech Athletics put together for this gave me all the feels. Would link, but at work.
