Chizik, whose Tigers won the national championship, beat out six other finalists for the honor which was presented on Tuesday night.
He says he hasn’t had time to reflect on his team’s perfect 14-0 season and the school’s first national title since 1957 because he’s been so busy with recruiting.
After he finishes that phase of his job he might take a minute to “sit back” and “grasp everything” that happened this season.
Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden was the night’s other honoree, receiving the Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award given by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association.
