LITTLE ROCK – The Little Rock Rotary Club announced the addition of two members to the Broyles Award selection committee that annually selects the top assistant college football coach in the country.
Former Texas Longhorn Head Coach Mack Brown and former Tennessee Volunteer head coach Phillip Fulmer will join a prestigious group of former head coaches that includes Frank Broyles, Vince Dooley, Hayden Fry, Lavell Edwards, Johnny Majors, Barry Switzer, Grant Teaff and Dick MacPherson.
Brown led the Longhorns to a national championship in 2006 and won 244 games as a head coach while Fulmer led the Volunteers to a national title in 1998 and won 152 games as a head coach. Both Fulmer and Brown had assistants that won the Broyles Award including Tennessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe in 1998 and Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis in 2005.
The selection committee has won a combined 2,263 games, coached in 178 bowl games and won 11 National Championships.

Some of those assistants included Joe Gibbs, Barry Switzer, Jimmy Johnson, Johnny Majors and Hayden Fry.
