Tennessee hasn't even though it's named after a Tennessee coach
Bear Bryant never won the Bear Bryant award either. It was named for him because he was the best at coaching. Fulmer was the best at having arrested drunk drivers and woman beaters. His honor will live on forever.

What a swell guy. Arresting all those folks. Didn't know he was a volunteer deputy.

The AP's national title trophy is also named after Bryant.
Associated Press (1936-present), the first major nationwide poll for ranking college football teams was voted on by sportswriters and broadcasters. It continues to this day and is probably the most well-known and widely circulated among all of history’s polls. The Associated Press annual national champions were awarded the Williams Trophy and the Reverend J. Hugh O’Donnell Trophy. In 1947, Notre Dame retired the Williams Trophy (named after Henry L. Williams, Minnesota coach, and sponsored by the M Club of Minnesota). In 1956, Oklahoma retired the O’Donnell Trophy (named for Notre Dame’s president and sponsored by Notre Dame alumni). Beginning with the 1957 season, the award was known as the AP Trophy, and since 1983, has been known as the Paul “Bear” Bryant Trophy.
