Daboll named Coach of the Year

[Big Turk]

Well deserved for Dabs.

 

Kind of shocking how McD hasn't won one yet with as much as he has turned this team around.

Congrats, Dabes!

[Andy1]

He is deserving but the NYC market helps get recognition too. 
Jets get offensive and defensive rookies of the year.

[78thealltimegreat]

Daboll earned it but honestly this award should just be called the coach of the team who didn’t suck as bad as we thought award cause it should have gone to Kyle Shannahan. 

[US Egg]

Daboll earned it, McD being on the periphery is as close as he’ll get.

 

Having a JA17 type at the helm can diminish an overseers positives.

[DapperCam]

COTY award is actually the “coach that turned a god awful roster to be somewhat respectable” award. Otherwise Belichick would have won it for a decade straight and Reid would have won it for the last 5 years including this year.

Dabes earned it. I could argue Siriani but I’m happy for coach to get his due. I wish him a ton of success unless it’s against us

[LeGOATski]

Yeah, McD kinda did the same thing in his first year. Brought a crappy roster to the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor at QB and broke a 17 year playoff drought. But it's Buffalo and not NYC.

It was btwn Shanahan and Siriani for me, leaning towards Shan because of the QB situation

How do coaches who didn't even make the playoffs get first place votes.... That's a little suspicious.

Shanahan would win it every year

LOL. Ok, you can tell my age with that one. I'll fix it. Thank you!

 

[BTW, half the time I still refer to the Cardinals as the "St. Louis (or Phoenix) Cardinals". Face palm.]

McDermott coaching tree looking good so far.

 

Andy Reid coaching tree still the best.

as others have said, best coaches this year are sirianni, shanahan, and reid. kind of a weird award given with fuzzy logic.

Carroll deserved just as much as Daboll. But I think the award always goes to the coach of the biggest surprise team or the coach of a team that dominates the league.

 

Daboll and Carrol are probably the biggest surprises last year. Pederson also but Trevor Lawrence was supposed to be in the playoffs at some point.

The last three coordinators turned coaches who won it their first season were Sean McVay, Matt Nagy, and Kevin Stefanski.  McVay was able to maintain it by spending like a teenager with a credit card.  Nagy was a massive failure after his first year.  Stefanski has struggled since winning it.  The true test with Daboll is whether he'll be able to win year in and year out like McDerdott, Reid, Harbaugh, Tomlin, etc... have.

[Wayne Cubed]

Thought it was Shanahan or Sirianni. This award is a lot like the Comeback Player of the Year award for me in that CPOY tends to be the guy who came back from injury to play again. Coach of the Year is somewhat predictable, "who's the first year coach who did better than we thought." You could argue that a player who elevates his game massively or makes a giant leap should be in line for CPOY. It's like COTY could be split into 2 and CPOY could be as well.
