I have no idea why I'm drawing a blank on this tonight. But when you publish a pull quote in a story, do you put a common after the person's name?

Here's an example:

Is it like this:

"We played liked crap."
— Podunk coach, Bob Smith

Or like this:
"We played liked crap."
— Podunk coach Bob Smith

I'm losing my mind, I know.
 
No comma if the title comes first. "Podunk coach Bob Smith."

Comma if the name comes first. "Bob Smith, Podunk coach."
