Ron Rivera, Mike Mularkey, Chuck Pagano, John Harbaugh nominated for award
Four NFL head coaches are among 32 nominees, one from each NFL team, for the league's Salute to Service Award.
Carolina's Ron Rivera, Tennessee's Mike Mularkey, Indianapolis' Chuck Pagano and Baltimore's John Harbaugh, the 2013 winner, were nominated Friday for the seventh annual award presented by USAA, the NFL's official military appreciation sponsor. Finalists will be announced in January, and the recipient will be recognized at NFL Honors, the Super Bowl eve awards show at which The Associated Press hands out its individual league awards.
It is not unusual for a coach to be nominated; last year's winner was Dan Quinn of Atlanta.
