How did you find out? Not doubting it, just can't find an announcement anywhere. I guess this makes us the 2013 recipient? Surprisingly, FSU has not won this.

I'm thinking the London trip probably helped us a bit. Just a guess.

From the day you got here and every time I hear you speak and your excitement about coaching our Gators, working your tale off and being a straight shooter, you are now one of my all time favorite coaches. Thanks coach.

After FSU won the ESPN "Best Helmet" contest they decided they had achieved the ultimate and there was no point in entering any more contests.
