Kevin O'Connell is the new favorite to win coach of the year

I hope O’Connell does win it. Would be great news.

Every winner this decade has gone on the next season to not make playoffs. So please give it to him.

Pluse the players would probably be pissed it didn’t go to him as well. Detroit vs everyone

I did, too. I remembered the name being associated with us for a minute, but I forgot it was that waiver-wire juke that Mayhew did.

Lefluer has kept things rolling in GB

AFC north seems tough but with cincy owners and Browns owners
Those coaches may never reach true potential

I would take any of the AFC North HCs over LeFluer. Unless Chicago completely craps the bed again, LeFluer will be the 4th best HC in the NFCN. Great OC, pouty little wuss as HC.

The awards would mean more if they included the playoff results. A coach could be the number 1 seed, win COTY and lose by 28 in his first playoff game. Is he really coach of the year?

Never heard of him.

I think its dumb to just go by pre-season expectations. I mean, what is the reason the Lions had high pre-season expectations? Could it have anything to do with the fact that Dan Campbell was our coach? Circular reasoning at its finest.

Minnesota wasn’t picked to do shit this year.

I know. They were picked to be last in the division.
It doesn’t change the reasoning nor logic in my post above at all.
I explained why I think itss dumb to only go by pre-season expectations.
Even when your pre-season expectations are low, like Minnesota’s expectations were.

The Lions pre-season expectations were high. Alot of that was due to Dan Campbell being a good coach.

Pre-season preditions are just talking heads’ opinions. To be basing CoY on that BS is … well…dumb.

The fact that we’ve won despite having a multitude of guys on IR should put DC ahead of everyone. Any other team would have crumbled at this point.

Let him win the stupid ass award. There’s only one trophy I’m interested in.

Whoever wins the north will get COY. That’s probably how it shoikd be tbh, trying to put my biases aside.

Being honest, KOC deserves it.

Everyone expected the Vikings to be around .500 this season. They’ve absolutely smashed the shit out of their preseason expectations.

Everyone expected us to win the division. We’ve probably exceeded expectations, but only slightly.

I don’t think it’s too hard for us to acknowledge that KOC has done an outstanding job. Dan Campbell has also done an outstanding job, but 13-2 with a .500 roster and Sam Darnold at QB is more impressive than 13-2 with a 12-3 roster, and some key injuries on defense.

Let’s be grown up about it.

About to get PAID… I think the per year number starts with a 5 too… Will it be from the Vikings? :man_shrugging: I think it should be.
