Kirby Smart - WinnerAlabama
Crimson Tide football has become synonymous with good defense, and Alabama fans owe a lot of that to defensive coordinator Kirby Smart. Smart, a former All-SEC defensive back at Georgia, comes by his defensive credentials honestly. Formerly a safeties coach with the Miami Dolphins, Smart followed Dolphins Coach Nick Saban to Tuscaloosa in 2007. More » Charlie StrongFlorida
For the second year in a row, Strong comes to Little Rock seeking the Broyles Award. And for the second year in a row, his credentials are impeccable. Strong's Gators wrapped up an undefeated regular season tops in total defense, scoring defense and pass defense. In fact, Florida's worst statistical area is rush defense, where the Gators 'only' rank eighth in the nation. More » Bryan HarsinBoise State
Harsin has made a name for himself as one of the top young offensive coordinators in college football, and has done so all within the confines of his home town. A former Boise State quarterback and graduate of nearby Capital High School, Harsin has engineered one of the nation's top offenses and has helped lead the Broncos to an undefeated season. More » Dick BumpasTCU
Dick Bumpas is no stranger to the Broyles Award, nor is he a stranger to the state of Arkansas. And he's certainly no stranger when it comes to fielding nationally-elite defenses. Bumpas, a former Razorbacks defensive tackle, is up for the Broyles Award for the second year in a row. Bumpas' defense, again ranked among the nation's best, has helped the Horned Frogs to an undefeated regular season and has them competing for a berth in the BCS for the first time in school history. More » Jeff QuinnCincinnati
Quinn's 2009 season at Cincinnati shows that loyalty and experience can be a winning combination. A 26 year veteran of the college game, Quinn has spent 21 of those seasons working with Bearcats Coach Brian Kelly. Cincinnati has taken off under Kelly and Quinn, with the Bearcats undefeated and aiming for the first perfect season in the program's modern era. More » Copyright © 2010 Rotary Club of Little Rock.
