It was a star-studded night at the 62nd annual Touchdown Club of Annapolis Football Banquet with New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick making a surprise appearance Thursday to present the special award named in honor of his father.
Buddy Green, who recently announced his retirement after nearly four decades in collegiate coaching, received the Steve Belichick Coach's Award from the Touchdown Club. Green, who spent the past 14 years as defensive coordinator for Navy, is only the fifth recipient of the award created in honor the longtime Navy assistant coach who did so much behind the scenes.
