Does he hate putting on a suit?

Shanahan would win it every year

 

Not if he can't get injuries under control. Seems suspicious his teams are always among the ones with key players missing the most number of games year in and year out. That's not by chance when it happens every year.

 

There is a portion of that out of your control but as we have seen there is a large part within your control too. 

 

The part within his control is completely lacking there from him. Possibly worst in the NFL from that perspective. The fact he has to keep doing this with tons of injuries is largely on him and the way he operates. He should not be rewarded for that.

Well deserved for Dabs.

 

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

Good for Daboll. Congrats to him.

I still wish we had kept Daboll and made him our HC

[Back2Buff]

What a joke.

 

9-7-1 this year.  Negative point differential.  3rd place in own division.  Beat 2 playoff teams all year.

 

Daboll took the team from bad to mediocre.  What happened to awards going to great teams?

Well earned! He made Daniel Jones look like a top 15 QB and revived Saquan career. Add in he made a playoff team out of a 4-13 squad.

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.

Geno Smith definitely counts as a player who elevated his game massively. He seemed like the obvious choice.

He came in 3rd out of four teams in his division. I'd have gone with Sirianni or Pederson, who both won their divisions.

[Steptide]

McDermott should've absolutely won it in 2017. Gets the bills to the playoffs after 17 years with a mediocre at best roster

But Pederson was 9-8 in a super soft division, whereas Daboll was 9-7-1 in the league's toughest division.

If that's the deciding factor, then how does Daboll beat out Sirianni, whose team had an even better season and will be playing Sunday ?

Didn't voters hear that the Moran Minority wants Sean McDermott out of Buffalo?

[Donuts and Doritos]

Good for him. He deserved it.

 

How McD didn't get it when he took the Bills to the playoffs his first year w/ that roster.

Year Sirianni would have been a good choice too. I guess he didn't win because he had an already good roster, whereas Daboll had almost nothing. But Sirianni did have a great year at 14-3 and assembled even more talent.

He always falls short of winning a trophy.

It was a downright bad roster. He definitely deserved it in 2017. 2020 he was a good candidate as well.

Voting happens well before the superbowl. Superbowls have nothing to do with the award.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Leslie Frazier was 3rd for assistant coach of the year.  
 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

I like it, love the guy as a coach and a human being. I lean towards giving it to a coach who does the most with the least, not necessarily to the guy who's team wins the most.

[Gugny]

I said I'd be happy if either Daboll or Shanahan won it.  I am happy for Daboll.  I think Shanahan deserved it more, but that takes nothing at all away from the job Daboll did.  He certainly earned it.
