My gripe with all COTY awards across the NBA and the NFL is they typically go to coaches who brought up an underperforming team or a team with low expectations. It never rewards the long term greatness and consistency of coaches. Is Cambell a top 5 coach rn? Let’s say Lions make it to NFCCG this year at 14-3 and same exact record and result next year. Well what changed. Why not back to back COTY awards.
If Sirianni and Reid go to the Super Bowl this year are they going to be considered for COTY next year? Probably not.
I guess my gripe with this awards stems from being a Utah Jazz fan and Sloan never winning it. Joke of an award if a HOFer can coach for 23 years and never win it.
So your gripe is give it to Andy Reid every year?
I mean turning a team around is what Coaches are brought in to do and if they don't well they get fired like McDaniels. I would rather see this Award be given to Coaches who helped a team from the gutter than constantly given to the team who didn't really improve drastically but finished the season 1st in their conference or won the SB.
If a Coach is good long enough, they will get that knock on the door from a few guys asking if they want to go to Canton
If Tomlin somehow gets another winning season -- or maybe even, heaven help us, gets that team into the playoffs in a brutal AFC -- then I'm all for giving it to him.
It is also amusing when taken out of context. Like the dolphins. They are 6-3. They have lost to every "playoff team" Congrats on playing the Pats twice already boys.
I think he is doing a very good job, but lets maybe beat one team first.
