"Mack Brown Award" for Great Gentlemen Coaches

As virtually everyone in the United States already knows, sports commentators during live coverage of Longhorns varsity football games frequently praise University of Texas at Austin Longhorns varsity football Coach Mack Brown.

Coach Mack Brown is a "truly nice guy" and a "friendly gentleman" (or words to that effect), those sports commentators frequently point out to television viewers.

This suggests to me a golden opportunity for The University of Texas at Austin and for the State Government of Texas:

Coach Mack Brown, who is nearing retirement, could be asked by the University of Texas System Board of Regents or the Texas Legislature, or possibly by the Ex-Students Association primarily serving UT-Austin alumni, to help establish a "Mack Brown Coach of the Year Award" or "Gentleman Athletic Coach of the Year" award.

That independently-endowed award and accompanying generous financial prize could be conferred each year on the successful varsity collegiate football coach anywhere in the United States who during the most recent collegiate football season exhibited the greatest overall decency, wholesomeness of lifestyle, exemplification of a great scholar-athlete tradition himself, cleanliness of language, scrupulous obedience of the law, privacy-rights-respectfulness toward others, restraint with any (if any) alcohol consumption by himself, complete year-round abstention from tobacco consumption, support for obedience of the law by others and for enforcement of the law and for crime deterrence, admirably vigilance, courage, independent-mindedness, nobility, integrity, valor, honesty, empathy, fairness toward everyone (including to those who criticize him in any way), kindness, generosity, humaneness, public-safety-mindedness, and medical-health-mindedness, and the greatest overall dedication toward each of his players and prospective players, and toward fans and the general public as well.
