“I just know what an awesome feeling it is for him. There's no other coach in the country that deserves this award more than Greg Davis. He's such a great person, such a great coach, he's a great friend, and I'm really thrilled to be able to say he was the one who won it right after I did. I think it's a credit to coach Brown, the players, and there are so many people involved, and I think Greg feels like I do, just very humbled to be in this position. It couldn't happen to a better guy.”
“I think he one-upped me this year. It's really tremendous. I can't think of a more deserving guy, obviously, and he's not just a great football coach but a great man. I'm just really excited to be able to pass the torch to him because he's just that deserving.”
