  • David Cutcliffe Named Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year
    For Immediate Release: December 5, 2013 Contact: Al Carbone (203) 671-4421 - Follow us on Twitter @WalterCampFF Duke’s David Cutcliffe Named Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year NEW HAVEN, CT – David Cutcliffe, head coach of the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division champion Duke University Blue Devils, has been named the Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year. The Walter Camp Coach of the Year is selected by the nation’s 125 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors. Cutcliffe is the first Duke coach to receive the award, and the first honoree from the ACC since 2001 (Ralph Friedgen, Maryland). Under Cutcliffe’s direction, the 20th-ranked Blue Devils have set a school record with 10 victories and earned their first-ever berth in the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game. Duke clinched the Coastal Division title and championship game berth with a 27-25 victory over in-state rival North Carolina on November 30. Duke (10-2, 6-2 in the Coastal Division) will face top-ranked Florida State (12-0) on Saturday, December 7 in Charlotte, N.C. The Blue Devils enter the game with an eight-game winning streak – the program’s longest since 1941. In addition, the Blue Devils cracked the BCS standings for the first time this season, and were a perfect 4-0 in the month of November (after going 1-19 in the month from 2008 to 2012). Cutcliffe was hired as Duke’s 21st coach on December 15, 2007. Last season, he led the high- scoring Blue Devils to a school record 410 points (31.5 points per game) and a berth in the Belk Bowl – the program’s first bowl appearance since 1994.

  • Dooley Selected As Recipient of 38Th Corbett Award
    Dooley Selected As Recipient Of 38th Corbett Award May 11, 2004 Cleveland, Ohio - Vince Dooley, director of athletics at the University of Georgia, has been chosen by the Officers and Executive Committee of NACDA to be the recipient of the 39th James J. Corbett Memorial Award. The Corbett Award is presented annually to the collegiate administrator who "through the years has most typified Corbett's devotion to intercollegiate athletics and worked unceasingly for its betterment." Corbett, athletics director at Louisiana State University, was NACDA's first president in 1965. The award is the highest honor one can achieve in collegiate athletics administration. Additionally, Dooley will receive an honorary degree from the Sports Management Institute (SMI), an educational institute sponsored by NACDA and the universities of Michigan, North Carolina, Notre Dame, South Carolina, Southern California and Texas. Dooley's extensive career in collegiate athletics began when he returned to Auburn University, his alma mater, after service in the Marines to take on assistant football coaching duties. He was soon hired as the head football coach at Georgia (1963-88) where he has since remained, devoting more than 40 years of service. As head coach, Dooley led the team to six Southeastern Conference (SEC) championship titles, 20 bowl games and a national championship in 1980, one year after being named Georgia's athletics director. Dooley continued to manage the dual role of head football coach and athletics director until 1988, during which time he earned two National Coach of the Year distinctions (1980, 1982). When he stepped down as coach to focus his energies on the athletics director's position, Dooley's 201 career victories ranked third among active coaches and led to his induction into the College Hall of Fame in 1994.

  • Mallory Men Bullet Points
    Mallory Men Bullet Points To: Loyal Mallory Men From: Andy Curtin RE: Letters of Recommendation for Bill Mallory’s Candidacy for College Football Hall of Fame My name is Andy Curtin. I created and ran the Legends Poll for 10 years from 2005 through 2014. We had 23 retired coaches participate over those years. Of this group 21 are in the HOF. Bill Mallory was a charter member and served all 10 years as a voter in the Legends Poll. The roster of Legends Poll coaches is stunning in its composition. Bobby Bowden, Tom Osborne, Frank Broyles, John Cooper, Fisher DeBerry, Bo Schembechler, Terry Donahue, Vince Dooley, Pat Dye, LaVell Edwards, Don James, Hayden Fry, John Ralston, Dick MacPherson, Don Nehlen, John Robinson, Bill Snyder, R.C. Slocum, Gene Stallings, George Welsh, Frank Kush, Bobby Ross…and Bill Mallory. Bobby Ross and Bill are the two non-HOF coaches. Everyone of our Legends Poll coaches believe Bill Mallory belongs in the HOF. However, since 2010 no coach has been granted a waiver for eligibility from the 60% winning percentage minimum rule, despite the fact that there are 31 non-60% coaches in the HOF with over 200 coaches enshrined there. I have been lobbying for Bill for over 4 years now to have the National Football Foundation reinstate the waiver procedure. I believe we have our best chance now because I have created an Index called the Curtin Coach Index (CCI) which I have provided to you herewith. It awards points to coaches for playing Top 25, Top 10 and Top 5 teams and is then averaged by years of service.

In what field is an employment contract broken as easily as made? None other than in the world of college coaching. At the commencement of the 1988-89 college basketball season, a total of 39 schools or approximately 13.4% of the 294 Division I institu- tions had new coaches at the helm.1 This compares with an all-time high of 66 new coaches or approximately 22.8% of Division I schools during the previous season.2 During the 1980s, approximately 384 coaching changes have taken place in Division I schools.3 Approximately 53 basketball coaches have changed jobs since the end of the 1989-90 season.4 The Amer- ican Football Coaches Association indicates that head football coaches re- main in NCAA Division I-A football programs for an average of only 2.8 years.5 The number of coaches employed at the 279 schools that have played in Division I Men's Basketball for all of the past 15 seasons include: Copyright 1991 by Martin J.

  • The Clthe Classicsassics
    THE CL THE THE CL THE THE CL THE THE CL THE THE CL THE January 1, 1976 Attendance - 77,500 Arkansas 31, Georgia 10 It’s true that football is a sixty minute game. However, Arkansas was living proof after the ASSICS ASSICS ASSICS ASSICS 40th annual Classic that two minutes time can mean all the difference between winning and ASSICS losing. But by New Year's Day, the Hogs had become accustomed to pressure situations. To GAME SUMMARY reach the Cotton Bowl, the Razorbacks had to knock off unbeaten and second-ranked Texas A&M in the last game of the season. And they did, ambushing the Aggies 31-6 to create a three-way tie for the Southwest Conference championship with A&M and Texas. Now, riding a five-game winning streak to Dallas, the final obstacle would be No. 12 Georgia. Very little good happened for the 18th-ranked Porkers in the first 28 minutes of the contest. In fact, Georgia kept the football for all but seven plays of the first period, and when the score reached 10-0, it looked as if the Dawgs might blow the Hogs right out of the stadium. A field goal on the Bulldogs’ first possession, followed by a 21-yard touchdown pass midway through the second quarter, had dumped Arkansas into a very deep hole. But, once the clock struck two minutes, things began to change. On first down at the Georgia 15, Bulldog quarterback Matt Robinson unwittingly turned the game around. Clobbered by the Hogs’ Mark Lewis and Johnny Meadors, Robinson fumbled, and linebacker Hal McAfee scooped up the loose ball.

  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.

  • Top All-Time SEC Football Coaches Head to Head Records
    Head to Head Results for Top Football Coaches of Teams Ever Associated with the SEC One measure of a coach is how he has performed against other coaches. This is a compilation of top SEC coaches records against one another. A table of head to head records follows. Ranks are of winning percentage amongst coaches with at least 10 years career and at least 5 at team(s) associated with the SEC. Italics are used to indicate redundant results (listed first under the opposing coach). 1. Only coaches who coached a team that is or was a member of the SEC were considered (whether or not the team was a member during the coach’s tenure). 2. Coaches with at least 10 years career (per “NCAA Record Book” and 5 years at team(s) associated with the SEC are included. 3. Top 15 coaches by winning percentage are included. 4. This excludes some coaches who haven’t coached as many years, such as Urban Meyer. It would be difficult to include the numerous coaches with good records that didn’t stay in coaching as long as the included coaches. Interestingly, when coaches have met 3 or more times (21 such cases between the top 15 coaches), there are only 3 cases where the coach with the lesser career winning percentage has gotten more head to head wins than the coach with the better career winning percentage. Those cases are Wade v. Dodd (2-3), Fulmer v. Spurrier (5-9), and Dooley v. Dye (3-5). Note that Neyland, with the best career winning percentage, has winning records against each of the other top 6 coaches by career winning percentage (cumulative 29-10-7).
