Kyle Whittingham wins the Paul "Bear" Bryant College Coach of the Year Award

Kyle Whittingham led Utah to its first AP #2 finish in the programs 100+ year history. He led his team to its second undefeated season in 5 years, with a regular season schedule including 3 teams ending in the top 25. He capped of the season with Sugar Bowl win that might have challenged the national perception of the college football landscape more than any game since the 1926 Rose Bowl. He certainly put together an impressive performance and resume in 2008.

The only thing missing is the national title.

The National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association awarded Utah's head coach Kyle Whittingham their coach of the year trophy, named after the legendary coach mostly known for his years with the program that announced to the world football is indeed played in the southeast nearly a century ago. The same program Kyle Whittingham defeated in the Sugar Bowl, possibly making a new statement for a new century.

Only time will tell.
