It is named after Tommy West to honor his years of service in giving an extra level of suspense, not towards the outcome of a game, but as to what device he would use to cost his team victory.bsd987http://www.blogger.com/profile/12048258249391182372noreply@blogger.comBlogger61100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608203340879749857.post-45806487553651830482009-11-09T11:46:00.001-08:002009-11-09T11:47:39.236-08:00As you may have heard, Memphis has fired Tommy West as its head football coach. Don't worry, the award will remain the Tommy West Award.<br /><br />What we would like to announce is that Tommy West has been granted an honorary lifetime achievement award for his contributions to the field of poor clock management. Congratulations Coach West!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1608203340879749857-4580648755365183048?l=tommywestaward.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bsd987http://www.blogger.com/profile/12048258249391182372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608203340879749857.post-20362790635848368972009-01-11T10:57:00.001-08:002009-01-11T10:58:33.165-08:001.

Dirk Koetter Award<br />2. Joe Paterno Award<br />3. Randy Shannon Award<br />4. Stewart-Swinney Award<br />5. Brian Brohm Award<br /><br />The Dirk Koetter Award will be given to the coach who makes the worst single Tommy West Award criteria mistake of the season. It his named for his decision to punt the ball with 1:28 left and only two time outs remaining down by 7 points.<br /><br />The Joe Paterno Award goes to the coach who shows the least comprehension of the rules of College Football. The award is in his honor due to his decision not to force Michigan to attempt the extra point after scoring a touchdown on the final play to take a two point lead over Penn State, even though Penn State could still force overtime if it blocked the extra point and returned it for a two-point score.<br /><br />The Randy Shannon Award is, simply put, the Tommy West Award of the bowl season. Watch the 2008 Emerald Bowl and you will understand why it is named for him.<br /><br />The Stewart-Swinney Award is given to the school who makes the most dumbfounded hire of the year. It is co-named for Bill Stewart of West Virginia and Dabo Swinney of Clemson. The alternate name of the award is the Shannon-Stewart-Swinney Award, but since there already is a Randy Shannon Award, it has been truncated to its current form.<br /><br />Finally, the Brian Brohm Award will be given to the senior quarterback who is the most inept at running the two-minute drill. Why it is named for him should be self-explanatory.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1608203340879749857-5958056077741391191?l=tommywestaward.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bsd987http://www.blogger.com/profile/12048258249391182372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608203340879749857.post-53051452827302943752008-12-07T16:58:00.001-08:002008-12-07T17:00:15.362-08:00The Tommy West Award Foundation is proud to announce the following five coaches as finalists for the 2008 Award:<br /><br />Sylvester Croom - Mississippi State<br />Randy Edsall - Connecticut<br />Rick Neuheisel - UCLA<br />Bobby Petrino - Arkansas<br />Mike Riley - Oregon State<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1608203340879749857-5305145282730294375?l=tommywestaward.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bsd987http://www.blogger.com/profile/12048258249391182372noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608203340879749857.post-92186833961847616982008-10-03T17:56:00.000-07:002008-12-30T06:52:30.691-08:00The Second Annual Tommy West Award will be awarded to the Division 1-A/Football Bowl Subdivision head coach deemed by the Tommy West Award Foundation to have exhibited the worst late-game management over the course of the 2008 regular season.<br /><br />The coaches chosen by the committee as finalists will be notified via press release on Monday, December 8 and the winner will be announced on January 1, 2009 on Sportscolumn.com's "Poor Man PTI."<br /><br />Please direct all inquiries to TommyWestAward@gmail.com.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />The Tommy West Award Foundation<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1608203340879749857-9218683396184761698?l=tommywestaward.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bsd987http://www.blogger.com/profile/12048258249391182372noreply@blogger.com0
