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

This place is starting to look and sound like

'Bye Bye Birdie'. 🤨

🎵We love you Daboll🎶

🎶Oh yes, we do.🎵

🎵We don't know anyone,🎶

🎶We love like you!🎵

🎵You're not near us,🎶

🎶We're blue. 🙁🎵

🎵Oh, Daboll, we love you!🎶

COTY Vote Totals (voting by AP):

 

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2023/02/09/2022-nfl-coach-of-the-year-brian-daboll/

 

1. Brian Daboll (16 first-place votes and 123 total)

2. Mike Kyle Shanahan (12 first-place votes, 100 total)

3. Doug Pederson (five first-place votes, 75 total)

4. Sean McDermott (seven first-place votes, 48 total)

5. Nick Sirianni (six, 45)

6. Kevin O’Connell (one, 23)

7. Dan Campbell (one, 15)

8. Andy Reid (two, 10)

9. Pete Carroll (six total points)

10. Mike Tomlin (five total points) 

 

 

I would have had no issue with any of these coaches winning COTY, but I think that Daboll is the most deserving.  In all the pre-season predictions, nobody thought the Giants would come close to having a winning record much less make the playoffs -- and actually win a playoff game (even though it didn't count in the COTY voting).

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.

 

We didn't win a playoff game.  The Giants did.

Clearly they did not read TSW.

I think Daboll was the clear cut choice for COTY.  Shanahan and Sirianni had way more talent to work with, Peterson did well to turn things around in Jacksonville but he benefited from a softer division than the Giants did.

Regardless, it's a similar start for Daboll's coaching tenure and he rightfully received recognition. Even Dan Campbell got a first place vote and he didn't even make the playoffs.

 

You wanna know how many votes McD got in his first year?.... A big fat ZERO

Pretty sure voting happens before the playoffs.

That was due to the general opinion of Buffalo Bills at time in NFL. 

A series of coaches which were unsuccessful in Buffalo and any improvement was short term so dismissed.

Bills getting into playoffs was considered a fluke and credited to Bengals despite if games were played in different order with same results Bengals would not have "helped" Bills into playoffs.

What's been the general opinion of the Lions? They last made the playoffs in 2016 and haven't won a playoff game in like 30 years. Yet Dan Campbell got a first place vote for COTY....

 

Very odd to me.

[Freddie's Dead]

My pick was Pedersen, but well-earned by Dabs.

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. 

 

Carroll absolutely deserved it over Daboll.  He did some weird voodoo to reanimate Geno Smith's corpse into a top 10 QB (I didn't know he was still in the league!). 

 

But this should have been a slam dunk to Shanahan.  Goes undefeated with their rookie 4th stringer to the NFCC.  

 

Put Daboll and those Giants in the AFCE and they are a 5 win team.

Not odd at all---fully deserved.  He came in last year, they were the worst team in the league.  A year later, they start 2-6 and go on a 7-2 run, beating GB twice (including in Lambeau, despite their playoff hopes dashed by some of the worst officiating all year in the Seahawks game---that allowed Seattle in and kept Detroit out).

 

He won 9 games--same as Daboll---with a QB that had been tossed away by "future HOF HC" McVay.  He went 5-1 in a Division that includes the Vikings and the Packers.  Daboll got buried by his division, winning a single game.

 

Campbell did a better job than Daboll.   He deserved far more consideration for COTY.

Should be Reid or Siriani

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.

 

 

I predict he will not make it.

 

Said it many times........and I think he proved my point to a great extent with his play calling in 2021........he is very Sam Wyche like.

 

For some coaches it's a fine line between innovative and ill-conceived.

 

First harbinger for Giants fans might have been in that divisional game versus Philly when he went for it on 4th and rather long at midfield down 7-0 in the first quarter..........what little chance they had of pulling an upset ended right there.

The team McD took over had records of 9-7, 8-8 and 7-9 the previous 3 seasons. He guided them to 9-7 his first year and made the playoffs because of a fluke play by another team. I think he did well, but that doesn’t exactly sound like CoTY material to me.

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

 

McD’s time is past.  Unless they win a SB, but then the award is already given out—which is nuts.  Eagles coach has a good argument to win it also.

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.

 

That's my take as well, I knew Pederson or Daboll was getting it.

 

Reid is obviously the best coach right now, only one that's close is Shanahan (sp?) In San Francisco. 

 

Can't give it to him every year though.
