of Utah - In his fourth season as head coach for the Utes, Whittingham led his team to a 12-0 record and the opportunity to appear in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2. Utah ended the regular season ranked No. 6 in the BCS Standings, which ties its best in school history -- which is also the best BCS ranking ever by a team from a non-automatic qualifying conference. Under Whittingham's leadership, Utah owns the longest win streak in the nation at 13 games.

ABOUT THE PAUL BEAR BRYANT AWARDS

While the Coach of the Year Award has been an annual tradition since 1957, the American Heart Association adopted and re-named the award in 1986 to honor Paul Bear Bryant, who died of a heart attack in 1983. A Lifetime Achievement Award was added in 2000 to recognize career achievements. The Paul Bear Bryant College Football Coaching Awards appropriately has become a major annual fundraiser for the Houston Division of the American Heart Association, with many business and community leaders and sports figures annually lending support to the event. The American Heart Association leads the fight against heart disease and stroke, the No. 1 and No. 3 killers in the U.S., through research, education and advocacy programs.
