HOUSTON – The Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards committee of the American Heart Association has selected its Bryant Watch List for the 2009 College Football Coach of the Year. BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall is one of 20 coaches named to the list.

Listed in alphabetical order, the following coaches have been named to the 2009 Bryant Coach of the Year Watch List:

Robb Akey – University of Idaho
Mack Brown – University of Texas

The Bryant Awards honors excellence in coaching while raising funds to fight heart disease and stroke, the nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers. Bryant himself suffered a heart attack prior to his death in 1983. Funds raised benefit research, community education and outreach programs of the AHA.
