The American Heart Association (AHA) Paul "Bear" Bryant Awards are an annual awards banquet that is hosted each year in January, in Houston, Texas, by the AHA.
 There are two awards.
 One of them—the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year Award—has been given annually since 1986 to NCAA college football's national coach of the year.
 The Award was named in honor of longtime Alabama coach Bear Bryant after he died of a heart attack in 1983.
 It is voted on by the National Sports Media Association (formerly the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association) and proceeds from the awards ceremony benefit the Houston chapter of the American Heart Association, which is the organizing sponsor—since 1986, at the request of the Bryant family—and which obtains a "presenting sponsor" (currently Marathon Oil Corporation).
 The College Football Coach of the Year Award began in 1957 and was renamed for Bryant in 1986.
 Bryant himself won the AFCA Coach of the Year award in 1961, 1971, and 1973.
