JANUARY 7-10, 2007 * HENRY B. GONZALEZ CONVENTION CENTER * SAN ANTONIO, TX

President's Message

MY JOURNEY WITH THE AFCA 

The road to the presidency of the AFCA has provided me with countless memories that I will never forget. One of the most treasured moments occurred during the Fall of 1998 when I received a ballot from the AFCA to nominate someone from Division II for appointment to the AFCA Board of Trustees.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

And how thrilled I was after being notified that I was one of three coaches being considered for this position. At that time, I really knew only one coach personally who had been on the Board of Trustees. That was Ron Schipper of Central College in Pella, IA.

It was unbelievable to think that someday I'd be wearing an AFCA Trustee badge at the AFCA convention! I still vividly recall how humbled and honored I felt when our Executive Director, Grant Teaff, shook my hand at the AFCA Awards Luncheon and congratulated me for being selected to the Trustees.

I never imagined that it could happen to me. Today, eight years later, I have the honor of serving my constituents as president of the AFCA.

During my tenure, I have learned so much about the AFCA. I have come to appreciate the commitment of Coach Teaff and his outstanding staff at our national headquarters in Waco, Texas.

I have also been deeply touched by countless coaches from every level of football who give so much of their time to serve in so many different capacities that make the AFCA the great organization it is.

I believe that the structure and organization of the AFCA is unparalleled by any other coaches associations in the U.S.

The educational opportunities we have through the AFCA provide us with unlimited growth possibilities as football coaches. As members of the AFCA, we should be thankful for all of the benefits that our great organization affords us.

Since joining the AFCA Board of Trustees in January of 1999, I have seen several significant happenings. Some of these include:

* The partnership of the AFCA and the Child ID program.

* The purchase and construction of the national headquarters in Waco and the development of The Plaza of Influence.

* The development of the American Football Coaches' Foundation in providing for major fund-raising initiatives to ensure the continued educational development of football coaches on every level.

* Joining with the Jason Foundation to provide education and support for teenage suicide prevention.

* The emergence of the NAIA to full divisional status which will include a position on the Board of Trustees in 2007.

* The inaugural AFCA CEO Coach of the Year Award in 2006.

When we look at this list, we can rest assured that many more great things lay in store for the AFCA.

As my term as president draws to a close, I look forward to the 2007 AFCA Convention, the ultimate yearly highlight for our membership. Thousands of football coaches from across the U.S. will invade San Antonio. We should all be excited about the great opportunities that are in store for us.

Some of the highlights will include:

* The inaugural Future Football Coaches' Academy, sponsored by the AFCA and NCAA, which will provide a curriculum designed for 30 selected participants who anticipate a football-coaching career.

* The Master Coach session featuring Hall of Fame coaches Bobby Bowden, John Gagliardi, and Joe Paterno. This will be the first time that active Hall of Fame coaches will be featured.

* The recognition of Bill Curry as our Amos Alonzo Stagg Award winner.

* The BCS Title Game Watch Party.

* The President's Breakfast.

* The Awards' Luncheon.

* The AFCA Coach of the Year Dinner.

These events, along with the countless clinic sessions and featured speakers, will make for, another great AFCA Convention. I have truly enjoyed serving as your president this past year, and I would like to personally thank each of you for your continued support of the AFCA.

I look forward to meeting all of you in San Antonio. The ayes of Texas are upon us!

2006 AFCA TRAILBLAZER AWARD WINNER

Former Southern U. Coach Arnett Mumford

Arnett "Ace" Mumford, the late, one-time Southern University head football coach, was named the AFCA's recipient of the 2006 Trailblazer Award, which will be presented posthumously at the AFCA Kickoff Luncheon on January 8 at AFCA Convention in San Antonio, TX.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

The Trailblazer Award was created by the AFCA to honor a significant minority coach from a historically black college or university who has a profound impact on his institution, the coaching profession, student-athletes, and the game of football.

For a five-year period, the Trailblazer Award will be given to an individual who coached in a certain decade. This year's winner coached from 1940 to 1949. The five-year cycle ends in 2009 with a winner coming from the 1960-1969 decade. In 2010, the cycle will start over with the 1920-1929 decade.

"I believe that the AFCA Trailblazer Award is an outstanding honor that is going to a very deserving individual in Arnett (Ace) Mumford," said current Southern U. head coach Pete Richardson. "Coach Mumford set the standard for Southern University."

"Coach Mumford's impact was the high standards he set for all his teams. He helped every student-athlete he ever coached by making sure they understood their role at Southern, and made sure they reaped some of the benefits of their education after graduation."

Mumford began his coaching career in 1924 at Jarvis Christian (TX) College. After three years at Jarvis Christian, Mumford went onto Bishop (TX) College (1927-29) and Texas College (1931-35) before beginning a 25-year career at Southern University in Baton Rouge, LA.

At Southern, Mumford made his name as a football coach. He led the Jaguars to a 169-57-14 overall record and won or tied for 11 Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) championships and five Black College national titles (1948, 1949, 1950, 1954 and 1960). Mumford's overall record at Jarvis Christian, Bishop, Texas College, and Southern was 235-82-25, a winning percentage of over 70%. He won his first Black College national championship in 1935 while at Texas College.

For the decade of 1940-1949, Mumford led Southern to a 67-16-6 record with five SWAC championships and back-to-back Black College national titles in 1948 and 1949. He is the winningest coach in Southern history and the Jaguars' football stadium now bears his name. From 1947 to 1950, Mumford guided Southern to a 42-0-3 mark, winning three of his six national titles and four SWAC championships.

Known as a strict disciplinarian and perfectionist, Mumford coached for 36 years, utilizing innovative coaching styles and techniques that were way ahead of his time. He produced 35 All-Americans at Southern, but it was his concern for educating his players and preparing them for life after football that made him liked by so many.

Mumford was inducted into the Southern University Athletics Hall of Fame in 1988, the Southwestern Athletic Conference Hall of Fame in 1992, the National Football Foundation College Hall of Fame in 2001, and is also a member of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame. Mumford died of a heart attack in 1962 at the age of 64.

2006 POWER OF INFLUENCE AWARD

Tumwater High School's Sid Otton

Tumwater (WA) H.S. Head Coach Sid Otton, recipient of the 2006 Power of Influence Award, was nominated for the award by the Washington State Football Coaches Association and will be presented with it co-jointly by the AFCA and the AFCF[R] at the AFCA Coach of the Year Dinner on January 10 at the AFCA Convention in San Antonio, TX.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

The Power of Influence Award was created as a way for the AFCA and AFCF to honor a deserving high school football coach for his effect on his players, school, and community. The award is not based on wins and losses, however. It is noted that coaches of powerful influence have longevity and success. It is the first AFCA award specifically designed to honor a high school coach.

"This is an awesome honor," Otton said. "To be honored in your league or even your state is one thing, but to win a national award like this is really humbling. It is mind-boggling to think about how many great high school coaches there are in this nation and for me to be recognized by the American Football Coaches Association is very special. I feel very honored."

Otton has been a head football coach in Washington high schools for 39 years, and is currently in his 33rd year as the head coach at Tumwater (WA) High. He has a career record of 278-113 in his first 38 years, with 16 league championships, 18 trips to the state playoffs, and five state championships.

With his 278 wins, Otton is Washington's all-time winningest football coach. He was inducted into the Weber State University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Washington State Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 1996.

Otton has also been named Washington State Coach of the Year in 2006 by the National Federation of High School Associations and earned the Olympia, WA, Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002.

Seattle NBC affiliate King-5 named Otton "Coach Who Makes a Difference" in 2003. He earned Sportsman of the Year honors in 2001 from the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, Champion for Kids Award in 2003 and the Rotary Club's Paul Harris Award in 2000.

Otton earned the Toyota Coach of the Year Special Award in 1987 after leading Tumwater to its first state championship under his tutelage. In 1988, Otton was one of the head coaches selected to coach in the Washington All-State High School game and earned the National High School Coaching Gold Award that same year.

In a letter of recommendation, Sam Hunt, State Representative for the 22nd Legislative District in Washington, stated the following about Sid Otton's powerful influence on his players, staff and community:

"Sid's influence on his staff and players is shown by their successes. Eight of his former players have gone on to play major college football and four of his assistant coaches have gone on to become successful head coaches.

Former and current players and staff praise Sid for his compassion. He is a true role model and mentor to those whose lives he has touched. He has dedicated 39 years to the student-athletes of Washington and to the students, staff and families of our community."

The other finalists for this year's award were: Tom Brown, Maiden H.S. (Maiden, NC); Don Lessner, Mason H.S. (Erie, MI); Mike Mahlen, Verndale H.S. (Wadena, MN); Frank McClellan, Barton H.S. (Barton, AR); Jerry Miller, Montrose H.S. (Montrose, SD); Phil Ottney, Glenwood H.S. (Glenwood, WI); Hugh Sandifer, Wylie H.S. (Abilene, TX); Rollins Stallworth, Proctor R. Hug H.S. (Reno, NV); Brent Steuerwald, Shenendehowa H.S. (Clifton Park, NY); Perry Thomas, Tilghman H.S. (Paducah, KY).

Past Power of Influence Award recipients include: Larry Dippel, Amarillo (TX) H.S. (2002); John McKissick, Summerville (SC) H.S. (2003); Marcus Borden, East Brunswick (NJ) H.S. (2004); and Ron Stolski, Brainerd (MN) H.S. (2005).

2007 Amos Alonzo Stagg Award

Bill Curry

Former Georgia Tech, Alabama, and Kentucky Head Coach, Bill Curry has been selected as the 2007 recipient of the AFCA's Amos Alonzo Stagg Award.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

The award, which honors those "whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the great college sport of football," will be presented to Curry at the AFCA Awards Luncheon on January 10 during the 2007 AFCA Convention in San Antonio, TX.

"I'm overwhelmed by this," Curry said. "It's such an incredible honor that I can't express how I feel. I'm very appreciative of the AFCA Board of Trustees and grateful to Grant Teaff for what he's done for our organization and the difference he made in my career.

"I'm naturally grateful to all my players, my assistant coaches and, most of all, Carolyn and our family for all of their support through the years. This is the highest honor I've ever been accorded."

Curry spent 17 years as a head coach in the college ranks: seven years at his alma mater, Georgia Tech; three years at Alabama, and seven years at Kentucky.

He is currently serving as the Executive Director of Leadership Baylor at The Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN. Leadership Baylor is an inclusive leadership curriculum that reaches out to all students at The Baylor School to help them discover and develop their emerging leadership skills.

Curry was named Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year in 1985 and Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year in 1987 and 1989.

In 1989, he received AFCA Division I-A Regional Coach of the Year honors and was selected as the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year.

Curry began his coaching career in 1976 as an assistant at Georgia Tech under Pepper Rodgers. A year later he joined the staff of former Green Bay teammate Bart Starr and served as the Packers' offensive line coach for three seasons. In 1980, he returned to Georgia Tech as head coach.

During his tenure at Georgia Tech, Curry's 1984 squad snapped Clemson's 20-game ACC winning streak and became the first Tech team in 22 years to defeat Alabama, Georgia and Clemson in the same season. In 1985, Curry led his team to a win in the All-American Bowl, capping a 9-2-1 season. The final mark was Tech's most successful season in nearly 20 years and its first Top 20 finish since 1970. For his efforts, he was named the ACC Coach of the Year.

Following the 1986 season Curry moved on to Alabama where he guided the Crimson Tide to three bowl appearances in his three seasons in Tuscaloosa. In his final season, the Tide finished 10-2 and won the SEC championship to earn a Sugar Bowl berth. The league title was Alabama's first in a decade.

In 1990 Curry replaced former AFCA President Jerry Claiborne as the head coach at the University of Kentucky, where he remained through 1996. Curry's 1993 Wildcat squad posted a 6-6 record and earned a berth in the Peach Bowl. That season Kentucky recorded its first three-game SEC winning streak in 16 seasons and won two SEC road games for the first time in nine seasons.

A 1965 graduate of Georgia Tech, Curry was a three-year letterman at center and served as a team captain as a senior. He was drafted by Green Bay in 1965 and was a key member of Vince Lombardi's NFL championship team that season and Super Bowl I-winning team a year later.

From 1967 to 1972 Curry played for Don Shula and Don McCafferty in Baltimore. The 1968 team played in Super Bowl III and the 1970 squad won Super Bowl V.

Curry went on to play one season each for the Houston Oilers and Los Angeles Rams. He was a two-time All-Pro (1971-72) and played in the 1971 and 1972 Pro Bowls.

During his playing days, Curry served as president of the NFL Players Association, an honor accorded by his NFL peers for his leadership qualities and high esteem. Since 1997 Curry has worked as a college football analyst for ESPN and has been a contributing writer to ESPN.com, covering topics ranging from ethics in sports to Title IX.

From 1998-1999 Curry served as the Chief Operating Officer for the National Consortium for Academics & Sports in Orlando, FL.

Curry and his wife, Dr. Carolyn Curry, have two children--Kristin Hunter (Bob) and Bill Jr. (Kelly)--and four grandchildren.

THE AWARD

The Amos Alonzo Stagg Award is presented to the "individual, group or institution whose services have been outstanding in the advancement of the best interests of football." Its purpose is "to perpetuate the example and influence of Amos Alonzo Stagg."

The award is named in honor of a man who was instrumental in founding the AFCA in the 1920s. He is considered one of the great innovators and motivating forces in the early development of football. The plaque awarded to each recipient is a replica of the one presented to Stagg at the 1939 AFCA Convention in tribute to his 50 years of service to football.

AMOS ALONZO STAGG

Amos Alonzo Stagg began his coaching career at the School of Christian Workers, now Springfield (MA) College, after graduating from Yale University in 1888.

Stagg also served as head coach at Chicago (1892-1932) and College of the Pacific (1933-1946). His 41 seasons at Chicago is one of the longest head coaching tenures in the history of the college game.

Among the innovations credited to Stagg are the tackling dummy, the huddle, the reverse play, man in motion, knit pants, numbering plays and players, and the awarding of letters. A longtime AFCA member, Stagg was the Association's 1943 Coach of the Year. According to NCAA records, Stagg's 57-year record as a college head coach is 314-199-35. He was 84 years old when he ended his coaching career at Pacific in 1946. Stagg died in 1965 at the age of 103.

The American Football Coaches Association gratefully acknowledge the support of the following Official AFCA Convention Sponsors for 2007

American Football Coaches

The Foundation[R]

Among the purposes of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), when it was founded in 1992, was the development and training of coaches and the protection and promotion of the game.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

The rules were devised by the coaches to improve the game, while making it better and safer. The results are obvious. The AFCA has grown from 60 head football coaches to more than 10,000 members representing every level of football.

In this time, the AFCA has maintained low membership fees and free admission to the annual convention in order to provide adequate personal development, training in the techniques of the game, and the teaching of leadership skills to enhance the role of mentoring.

To provide funding for all of its educational venues, the AFCA had to develop the initiatives to supply the resources for the education of coaches on all levels. Thus the American Football Coaches Foundation (AFCF) was founded in 1998.

The Foundation has created several multi-purpose initiatives to benefit the thousands of young players by improving the quality of the coaching. It has, moreover, created initiatives that have different, but important purposes other than fundraising.

For instance, the AFCF's Plaza of Influence, located adjacent to the AFCA national headquarters, is a unique place where anyone who has been influenced by a football coach, has the opportunity to honor that coach in a permanent way by purchasing a brick, tile, plaque, or capstone.

Hundreds of coaches have already been honored and literally thousands more will be honored in the years to come.

A corporate golf outing in Chicago this past summer raised significant funds for The Foundation. But its main purpose was to honor outstanding high school coaches in Illinois, while at the same time paying tribute to one of the Association's great coaches who passed away unexpectedly--Randy Walker of Northwestern U. Future golf outings have been planned.

The Foundation's third initiative is a work in progress that could be the most prestigious of all The Foundation initiatives. The Foundation Board of Directors, in an effort to bring recognition to the outstanding qualities of leadership found in America's corporate world, created the CEO Coach of the Year Award.

Each year the AFCA recognizes the National Coaches of the Year in five collegiate divisions. The Foundation Board narrowed the list of 10 CEO's to four. Those four best typify the quality of leadership and depth of character that will allow one to succeed on the football field or as a leader of one of America's greatest corporations.

The AFCF Board sought to choose an individual for the 2006 AFCF CEO Coach of the Year Award who was representative of The Foundation's leadership qualities. The committee's final selection was unanimously approved by the AFCF board: Jeffrey R. Immelt, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of General Electric.

Mr. Immelt's outstanding leadership qualities actually parallel the leadership traits taught by the AFCA, and recognized yearly by the AFCA membership in their selection of the Coaches of the Year.

Mr. Immelt is the ninth Chairman in GE's 128-year history. He previously served as President and Chairman-elect of GE starting in November 2000. He began his GE career in 1982. Over the last 24 years, he has held a series of global leadership roles in GE's Plastics, Appliance, and Medical businesses. He became an Officer of GE in 1989 and joined the GE Capital Board in 1997.

In 2005 and 2006, Barron's named Mr. Immelt one of the World's Best CEO's. Under his leadership, GE has been named "America's Most Admired Company" in a poll conducted by Fortune Magazine. Mr. Immelt serves as Chairman of The Business Council and is on the board of three non-profit organizations: Catalyst, devoted to advancing women in business; Robin Hood, focused on addressing poverty in New York City; and the New York Federal Reserve Bank.

Mr. Immelt holds a B.A. degree in applied mathematics from Dartmouth (1978) and an M.B.A. from Harvard (1982). He and his wife, Andrea, have one daughter.

When any organization gives an award of this magnitude to a recipient like Mr. Immelt, a standard for the future is set. Mr. Immelt was honored on December 18, 2006, at a black tie dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City. Bob Costas of NBC Sports served as emcee. Dinner guests will be a part of the first presentation of the AFCF CEO Coach of the Year ring.

The goals of The Foundation Board were clearly met. The goals were: 1) to honor someone in the corporate world who best defined the kind of leadership that it takes to be successful leaders in our game; and 2) to raise significant funds through the event in order to provide continuing education for the more than 10,000 members of the AFCA.

Next year's recipient will have a lot to live up to because of the passion that Jeffrey Immelt has for the game of football and those who coach it. He is unwavering in his commitment to bring recognition to The Foundation, and our purpose of educating coaches who in turn touch millions of lives across America.

2007 Tuss McLaughry Award

Paul Tagliabue

Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue is the 2007 recipient of the AFCA's highest honor, the Tuss McLaughry Award, which will be presented to him January 10 at the AFCA's Coach of the Year Dinner in San Antonio, TX.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]

Established in 1964, the McLaughry Award is given to an American (or Americans) for the most distinguished service to others. It is named in honor of DeOrmond "Tuss" McLaughry, the first full-time secretary-treasurer of the AFCA and one of the most dedicated and influential members in its history.

The 34th winner of the Award, Tagliabue joins a select group of past recipients that includes six former U.S. presidents, seven generals, five astronauts, and such well-known celebrities as comedian Bob Hope and actors Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne.

As it grew from 28 to 32 teams under Tagliabue's watch, the NFL prospered like never before. During 17 years as Commissioner, his leadership enabled the NFL to address many key priorities:

* Operated under successive long-term labor agreements with the NFL Players Association.

* Supported the construction of some 20 new stadiums for NFL teams.

* Established NFL operations in multiple overseas markets (including the six-team NFL Europe League).

* Created a league-wide Internet network and the subscriber-based NFL TV Network (carrying both live NFL games and college football highlight programming).

* Secured the largest television contracts in entertainment history, with the league's recently concluded contracts for the next six NFL seasons totaling some $25 billion!

Tagliabue's leadership skills have been featured in national and international news coverage, including in The Economist, ("In A League Of Its Own," April 29, 2006); Fortune ("Lessons From the Commish, April 7, 2006; "10 Top Leaders Tell Their Secrets," December 12, 2005); a Business Week cover story ("The NFL Machine," January 27, 2003); and in Time Magazine ("The American Money Machine," December 6, 2004). He has also been recognized as a "best manager" by Business Week (January 12, 2004).

Before becoming the league's CEO, Tagliabue represented the NFL as an attorney at Covington & Burling, a Washington, D.C., law firm. Previously he had served in the office of the U.S. Secretary of Defense as a policy analyst. Tagliabue is currently a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Tagliabue chairs the board of the Graduate Institute of International Relations and Commerce of the State U. of New York (SUNY). He is a member of the boards of Georgetown (D.C.) U., the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, and other not-for-profit organizations. He also has served on the boards of the United Way of America, chairing it in 1998-99, and the National Urban League.

Born in New Jersey in 1940, Tagliabue graduated in 1962 from Georgetown with honors in political science. He received his law degree in 1965 with honors at NYU School of Law. Tagliabue and his wife, Chandler, have a son, daughter, and two granddaughters.
