Coach Swinney won another COTY award last night as recipient of the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year award sponsored by the American Heart Association. This is the only COTY award that waits until after bowl games to announce its winner.

The seven coaches nominated this year were Ken Niumatalolo (Navy), Larry Fedora (North Carolina), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa), Tom Herman (Houston), Nick Saban (Alabama), David Shaw (Stanford) and Dabo Swinney (Clemson).

Personally, I'm pleased they picked Swinney ahead of Coach Saban, and of course disappointed that Herman or Coach Ken didn't get selected.  Congrats to Coach Swinney on a great season.
