Coach of the year

I was listening to WFAN Sunday 1/1/23 morning and the host was saying if the Giants made the playoffs Daboll is coach of the year. Well, there's only one candidate for coach of the year & that's Kyle Shanahan. He's winning games on his 3rd QB, a rookie who was "Mr. Irrelevant" in the 2022 draft. Now if this was any other year there might be some great candidates, but not this season. Here's the field:

Kyle Shanahan-Working a miracle with Brock "Mr. Irrelevant" Purdy. Won the division with 3 different starting QBs.
Kevin O'Connell-Has won every 1 score game they've played & won the division.
Brian Daboll-Got the Giants into the playoffs, but they're still only the 3rd best team in their division.
Nick Sirianni-Has brought the Eagles back to Super Bowl contenders
Pete Carroll-Winning with Geno Smith. The Seahawks were the preseason favorite as the NFC's worst team.
Mike Tomlin-Kept the team together & if he wins the season finale vs Cleveland he will keep his record of never having a losing season intact. All while developing a rookie QB.

Daboll is in the conversation for sure, but it will probably go to Shanahan or Sirianni (good for the local kid!). Every winner going back to 2001 had at least 11 wins except for two, and they had 10.

Let's see who gets into the play-offs and how far they go first. But agree with your post.

Pete Carroll.
