LITTLE ROCK — Alabama defensive coordinator Kirby Smart has won the Broyles Award, which goes to the nation’s top assistant coach.
Smart’s Crimson Tide will play Texas for the BCS championship next month. Alabama remained unbeaten by shutting down Tim Tebow and Florida in a 32-13 victory last weekend for the Southeastern Conference championship.
The Broyles Award is named for former Arkansas coach Frank Broyles. More than 25 of his assistants became head coaches. They include Joe Gibbs, Jimmy Johnson and Johnny Majors.
The other finalists this year were Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong, Boise State offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin, Cincinnati offensive coordinator Jeff Quinn and Texas Christian defensive coordinator Dick Bumpas.
