Mack Brown Texas Football is a candidate, but he'll have some tough competition from Charlie Weis and CU's John Embree.

This award isn't the same as the one given out by the coaches or AP at the end of the year to a coach that has likely earned that honor. This is a fan poll at coachoftheyear.com sponsored by Liberty Mutual, but Bellmont has nonetheless thrown Mack Brown's hat in the ring.

"For the past six years, the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award has been leading the applause for good leadership, charitable spirit and on-field success of coaches across each of the four divisions," said Archie Manning.

One out of three ain't bad.

Had Clapping in the Face of Adversity been one of the criteria, Mack Brown would have won in a landslide.

Now his fate lies with you, Texas fan. Show your friendship and vote now!
