So you want to win NFL Coach of the Year? Great, a few questions.
- Can your team win 5-7 more games than it did last year?
- If you’re a more proven coach, can you take a good team and make it the league’s best?
- If you faced adversity, like losing your best player, can you keep your team in the playoffs?
Coach of the Year doesn’t go to the best coach. If it did, Bill Belichick would have more than three, and Andy Reid would have more than one.
Instead, it usually goes to the coach in charge of the most-improved team.
Awards are fun betting markets because they’re somewhat subjective and narrative-driven – especially Coach of the Year.
