Andrew Berry wins NFL's 2026 Buddy Teevens Forward Progress Award
The award, established in 2023, honors the life and legacy of Buddy Teevens, the former Dartmouth College head football coach who was a pioneering advocate for women in football. In 2018, Teevens made history by hiring Callie Brownson as the first full-time female Division I coach in college football history. Brownson later became the first woman to coach a position group during an NFL game with the Browns in 2020 and served as the Browns Chief of Staff and then Assistant Wide Receivers coach.
And . . .
Berry has channeled Teevens' philosophy into his own leadership. Since being named general manager in 2020, he has prioritized building a football operations department that reflects a wide range of perspectives. His approach has always focused on hiring the best, and this broad and intentional approach has led the organization to use the NFL Women's Forum as a pipeline for talent. Today, the Browns have the most women in team operations across the league.
Green Alert Take: The author of the piece missed an interesting anecdote. Berry actually played against Buddy Teevens three times as a four-year starting cornerback at Harvard before graduating in 2009.

This excerpt from story out of Wyoming headlined, 5 defensive transfers to watch for Cowboys football, shows why former Dartmouth linebacker Teddy Gianaris made a smart decision choosing to grad transfer to Woming, where they intend to use him as an edge rusher (LINK):
Defensive end depth will be crucial for the Cowboys after they graduated Tyce Westland (43 tackles, 7½ tackles for loss, two sacks), Brayden Wilson (26 tackles, five tackles for loss, two sacks) and Chisom Ifeanyi (20 tackles, 2½ tackles for loss and 1½ sacks). Peter Eyabi (10 tackles, half a tackle for loss) transferred to Indiana State.

A story on the 406 Sports site about Bobby Hauck's second stint at Montana headlined Like many coaches before him, Bobby Hauck's sequel didn't live up to original has a list of 12 FCS football coaches who had two separate tenures at a school. From the story (LINK):
Buddy Teevens at Dartmouth went from .540 (26-22-2) in stint No. 1 and was slightly down to .535 (91-79) in his return.
Green Alert Take: That's incredibly misleading. Left unsaid is that Teevens' winning percentage over his final 10 seasons was a glittering .710.

It's snowing again here this morning, but I'm not going to complain. We got off easy.
