00:00
All right, so let's talk about coach of the year, believe it or not.
00:03
You're already laying the table out for the coach of the year.
00:07
Nice.
00:08
Yeah, so we've done just about every award, but we never did the AP NFL coach of the year out.
00:13
So understand a couple things here, Scott.
00:15
This is a regular season award.
00:17
It typically goes to the head coach where the team is way better than you thought.
00:22
It's rare that you get, like Andy Reid, by the way.
00:25
Okay, Andy Reid, Scott, yeah, he's won it before.
00:28
But he hasn't won it since 2002, and he was with the Eagles that early in his career with the Eagles.
00:34
Because they're so good every year, how could he be better than the expectations?
00:38
Whereas when you look at a guy like my favorite this year is Jim Harbaugh.
00:43
They were better than expected last year.
00:45
Yeah.
00:46
It would not surprise me if they won the AFC West.
00:49
I know the Chiefs for years have owned the Chargers.
00:51
I get that.
00:52
But that was not with Harbaugh.
00:53
Harbaugh now, you get him in there for second season.
00:56
By the way, he's plus 1,000.
00:59
He's plus 1,000 to win this award.
01:01
I love those odds.
01:02
He won it, by the way, with the Niners in 2011.
01:05
You know how they made that Super Bowl run under Kaepernick.
01:07
The guy wins everywhere he's been, whether it's University of San Diego, Stanford, the Niners, Michigan.
01:14
He's a turnaround program head coach.
01:17
He's brilliant.
01:17
I know some people think he's got a short shelf life because he drives people crazy.
01:21
The guy's a brilliant head coach.
01:24
That, to me, that plus 1,000 is a great one.
01:28
Yeah.
01:28
Ben Johnson, by the way, he's got the shortest odds of plus 650.
01:32
Mike Vrabel.
01:32
Now, this is interesting.
01:34
Mike Vrabel's only plus 750.
01:36
Well, look, the Patriots have been terrible for a number of years.
01:38
So, you're looking at it.
01:41
Now, he did win it just four years ago with the Titans in 2021.
01:46
They're only plus 750 with the Patriots.
01:49
Now, because the expectation is with Drake May and better coaching, they could be a seven or eight win team.
01:55
They have a very favorable schedule, by the way.
01:57
Sleeper.
01:58
What's that?
02:00
Sleeper.
02:01
Yeah, he's a sleeper, but he's plus 750.
02:04
Mike McDonald is my guy, plus 2,000.
02:06
And, again, I'm going out on a limb there for them to win the NFC West.
02:10
So, there are a lot of good ones, but it is really hard, Scott.
02:13
If you go over a number of years, Dom Shula, all-time, one at the most.
02:18
Three with the Colts, one with the Dolphins.
02:19
Belichick, one at three times.
02:21
Chuck Knox.
02:22
You and I watched Chuck Knox.
02:23
Ground Chuck.
02:24
Yep.
02:25
Rams, Bills, and people forget with that crew there with the Seahawks.
02:32
Seahawks.
02:32
And Kurt Warner, the running back.
02:34
Go ahead.
02:34
Yeah, I mean, obviously.
02:36
Now, Sean Payton's at 1,500.
02:41
Dan Campbell, 2,000.
02:44
Your boy McDonald's right there.
02:46
You've got him winning the NFC West.
02:48
So, he's got a shot.
02:50
If he gets them into the playoffs and they win that division, believe me,
02:54
he'll be in the running.
02:56
McVay is always considered, right, as one of the best coaches.
03:00
Is he not still a genius?
03:02
He is fantastic.
03:03
Now, he came out of nowhere in 2017 in his second year.
03:07
Remember, Jeff Fisher was fired.
03:09
And actually, I think it might have been his first year because Fisher was there.
03:15
Yeah, in fact, Fisher was there for Jared Goff.
03:17
Then he was let go.
03:18
So, yeah, Sean is phenomenal.
03:20
And you know what's amazing about him?
03:21
And he's been very public about it.
03:24
And he almost quit coaching going to television to work for Amazon or any network would want him.
03:31
I talked to coaches who talked to him who were with other teams who wanted to leave the teams they were with and coached for him.
03:36
And he said, listen, I might leave, so you might as well get another job.
03:40
And then he reconsidered and stayed.
03:42
And the guy's incredible.
03:43
There's no question about it.
03:45
And also, you know, here's another thing.
03:47
Dan Quinn and the Commanders, they're plus 2,200.
03:50
I know there's some contractual issues with their players.
03:52
Look, these always get worked out.
03:54
I don't worry about that.
03:55
Now, obviously, they're not sneaking up on anybody.
03:57
He's plus 2,200.
03:59
But he didn't win it last year.
04:00
You probably could have said he should have won it.
04:03
And then.
04:04
What about O'Connell at 4,000?
04:07
My God, if McCarthy works out.
04:09
Weren't they great last year?
04:11
And he didn't even play.
04:13
I know.
04:14
And by the way, I know Kevin O'Connell, by the way, won it last year in 2024.
04:18
He's plus 4,000.
04:20
And how about Kevin Stefanski?
04:23
Most people don't know this.
04:24
He's won it twice at 20 and 23.
04:26
And plus 5,000.
04:27
Now, listen, he's a miracle worker, but they're not getting there this year.
04:31
There's just.
