    25TH ANNUAL TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28th, 2020 Honoring Top Assistant Coaches Since 1996 OUR MISSION RECOGNIZING EXCELLENCE The Broyles Award was created in 1996 to honor my grandfather, Coach Frank Broyles. I am so proud of the award and what it has accomplished over the past twenty-five years. This award has touched the lives of so many coaches and their families, and has created a vast network of friends and colleagues through my grandfather’s legacy. Though he passed away in 2017, my grandfather’s mission carries on not just through this award, but also through the Broyles Foundation. This organization provides game plans for another kind of ‘assistant coach:’ Alzheimer’s caregivers in crisis. My grandfather built his career and his family around the pillars of teamwork, preparation, and selflessness. As caretakers of his legacy, my mother and I strive every day to uphold these values and expand upon his mission. My granfather’s values influence everything we do: just like he would have done, we are eagerly preparing for the next twenty-five years of recognizing excellence. Sincerely, Molly Arnold Broyles Award Director Coach Broyles’ Granddaughter COACH BROYLES ARKANSAS V. TULSA, 1964 THE BROYLES LEGACY Frank Broyles’ legacy of selecting and developing great assistants is unparalleled during his almost two decades as head coach at Arkansas. Broyles assistants went on as head coaches to win: • 15% of all Super Bowls • 8 Super Bowls in a span of 14 years • 5 college national championships • More than 40 conference titles • More than 2000 games Two of the three head coaches in football history to win both a National Title and a Super Bowl were his assistants, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer.

    Getting More of Its Pieces in Place

    Journal of Sports Analytics 6 (2020) 45–60 45 DOI 10.3233/JSA-190362 IOS Press The year-two effect: Evidence and antecedents for second season success in NCAA division I football N. David Pifera,∗ and Matt R. Humlb aDepartment of Kinesiology and Sport Management, Lubbock, Texas Tech University, TX, USA bSchool of Human Services, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA Abstract. In recent years, it has become common for media members and other college football affiliates to associate a program’s turnaround with the Year-Two Effect, a phenomenon whereby an NCAA Division I football program is expected to make large improvements during a head coach’s second season in charge. However, like many of the mass media’s sport truisms, this phenomenon has gone untested and unexplored in the broader realm of empirical literature. Given the big business that is modern day college football, where revenues have reached the billions of dollars, and tens of millions are being spent on coaching salaries, bonuses, contract extensions, and buyouts, further examinations into the Year-Two Effect, its causes, and its implications are warranted from both the analytical and economical perspectives. Using two-way fixed effects panel regression models to analyze 11 seasons (2007-17) of data for 114 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs, this study found support for the Year-Two Effect’s existence, particularly in situations where coaches were replacing a prior coach that had been fired for on-field performance reasons. In addition, teams also tended to significantly improve their recruiting rankings and commit fewer turnovers during a head coach’s second season at the helm.

  • Sipple Coaches Chart

    Quick start-ups How fast can Scott Frost turn around the Big Red? Here is a look at some at major programs, though it should be noted that some of these coaches inherited programs with the talent cupboard full. MARK RICHT GEORGIA (NOW AT MIAMI) Won the SEC title in his second season, and followed with another three years later, though he was unable to elevate the Bulldogs into the national title picture. GARY PATTERSON TCU Went 6-6 in his first full season, but followed with seasons of 10-2 and 11-2 and has maintained a steady dose of success in Fort Worth. JAMES FRANKLIN VANDERBILT (NOW AT PENN STATE) Led Vandy to a pair of 9-4 records over his second and third seasons in Nashville, which is no small feat, before leaving for the Big Ten. CHRIS PETERSEN BOISE STATE (NOW AT WASHINGTON) Petersen’s first heading coaching gig was not a Power Five position, but he’s worth throwing on this list. He started 13-0, 10-3, 12-1, 14-0, 12-1, 12-1, 11-2 and 8-4 before landing at Washington. GUS MALZAHN AUBURN After leading Arkansas State to a Sun Belt title in his only year there, Mal- zahn led Auburn to a SEC title and a berth in the national championship game in his debut season with the Tigers. JIMBO FISHER FLORIDA STATE Won 58 games in his first five seasons at Florida State, including the 2013 national championship. CHIP KELLY OREGON (NOW AT UCLA) Pac-12 titles in his first three years as Oregon’s head coach.
