Pretty much every successful NFL team starts with a good coach. Bill Belichick, for example, has won 6 Super Bowls as a head coach. Andy Reid has won 3 of the last 5.'
Interestingly, Reid has earned NFL Coach of the Year honors only once – and none in the last 20 years. However, he has been named the best coach by The Sporting News on 3 occasions. The last 5 AP Coach of the Year winners are John Harbaugh, Kevin Stefanski, Mike Vrabel, Brian Daboll and Stefanski again.'
This particular market is not easy to handicap. You never know how the voters are going to make their selections. Case in point: in our 2022 Coach of the Year predictions we had Nick Sirianni at +2000 and Reid at +4000. Sirianni took the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl and Reid won the Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs despite losing his top wide receiver from the previous season. Did either one of them earn COY honors? Nope… and Sirianni wasn't even nominated!'
Alas, here are the COY odds and my best bets for 2023 NFL Coach of the Year – and also check out my NFL MVP predictions and NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year picks.
