    For the Vegas curious: Cambell +140 Ryans +300 McDaniel +450 Sirianni +1000 Tomlin +1200 Payton +1400

    I’d bet on Ryans, personally. But if the Lions finish strong Cambell has a good case.

      Nick had a really strong case in 2021 and 2022, since we were supposed to be a rebuild team and we were immediately a Wild Card team followed by the #1 NFC seed but award lost all credibility to me with Daboll anyway lol. It’s not hindsight to point out that the Giants were absolute ass the back half of last season and the most evident frauds in the league. The award not being Pederson or Nick just showed that it’s not one even worth winning lol.

    Campbell took a team that has been a laughingstock for decades and turned them into a top NFC contender so I’m going with him

    DeMeco Ryans really has earned it. Before the season the Texans were expected to have a top 3 pick in the draft and now they’re a legit playoff contender

    I’m obviously biased, but I find it crazy Mike Tomlin has never won this award.

      Ironically I think he’s too consistent to win one. Voters love guys who dig their franchise out of the shit. Steelers are too competent to ever be in the shit. But you’re right he deserves one.

        Mike Tomlin has been too busy putting together a hall of fame career to worry about coach of the year.

      I’m married to a Steeler fan, so I’ve been watching him closely for a while now and I absolutely agree. I don’t think he’ll win it this year, but it’s amazing he’s never won one.

    All I know is Andy Reid has only won the award 1 time and that was back in 2002. While a mediocre coach in Ron Rivera has won it 2x. Too often the award goes to a new coach who gets their team to overachieve and does not recognize sustained excellence. That’s how a coach like Dabolll won it last year despite a pedestrian 9-7-1 overall record and finishing the regular season going 2-5-1.

      It’s a weird award - as you said, it’s really all just based on a coach exceeding expectations rather than who the actual best coach is.

      COTY is kind of a stupid award. The best coach rarely actually wins it. It’s like if the MVP award went to the player who had the most unexpectedly good season.

    It’s seriously crazy Tomlin has never won COTY, but every year he’s recognized as a great coach and his teams do better because of him.

    Eagles have a chance to beat the Dolphins, Bills, Cowboys x2, Chiefs, and 49ers. Any coach that goes through that and comes out 6-0 deserves CotY imo
