Harbaugh will probably be the winner, but gotta give a close second to Kubiak for getting the Texans to 10-6 and a division title despite them being killed by injuries.

 
Why do you have McCarthy on the list and not John Harbaugh? McCarthy inherited a Super Bowl winning team, John H had less to work with and isn't even on the list?

I don't think you understand what "inherited" means.

to receive as if by succession from predecessorsdepends on your interpretation of "as if"

Each new year, GMs manhandle a roster and cap and the coach starts camp with a different team. This was McCarthy's previous team, like he inherited most of his own team again, but it is in succession and...interesting word choice by Amos

I'd squeeze McCarthy in there. Perfect and almost perfect are very difficult. BBs special years have made me ask "Could another coach have done that?" and I don't figure so with McCarthy. 12-4 or 11-5 with an awesome team, sure, but that was a well oiled machine this year. Issues were bumps in the road and never all that big a deal on Sunday. How many RBs missed time for them? 4? Most teams would struggle in some fashion with that. There's a bunch of issues that creeped up and just didn't seem to matter. I think that(them not matter-ing) is exceptional coaching

Coach of the Year is a yearly award. Coaches inherit the preceding year's roster to work with. I don't see why McCarthy is on the list and not Belicheck, Payton and John Harbaugh. IMO none of them should be considered. The best work comes from coaches that inherit a poor team from the previous year.

Fox did well, but I'd consider voting Marvin Lewis 2nd. Toughest division in football, rookie QB and top WR. Only reason he could be lower is that the Bengals didn't beat any really good teams.

McCarthy was the GB coach last year AND this year. He inherited NOTHING unless his grandfather died in the last couple of weeks.
 
Oh, and CoY is SF Harbaugh and it's not even close. Kubiak gets a pat on the back and a job well done for coming in 2nd.

Yours already mean zip after the way you changed direction on Ingram after the fact.

You're insane. Always thought Ingram sucked. I know the quote you're referring to, if you want to hold me to that go ahead, it is clear sarcasm on my part. Your comments and loaded questions border on infantile so your opinion of me or anything means zip.
 
This is like when McCarthy was 13-3 and the Patriots were 16-0 back in 2007.

Why should Harbaugh be COY just because it was a "surprise" to some people?

Packers 15-1 and just beat a playoff team (Lions) with their superstars (Rodgers, Woodson, Matthews, Jennings) on the bench.

15-1 after winning the Super Bowl on the road. Amazing!

 
Cough;in should be on there. They Giants have been so banged up this year ... no other team could have withstood they injuries that they had and still made the playoffs.

Aside from the players that were put on IR during preseason (Terrell Thomas, Goff etc ...)

WR - Hixon lost for year, Manningham and Nicks missed time and were limited much of the season

RB - Bradshaw and Jacobs both missed time and have been limited by injuries for much of the season

TE - Ballard missing crucial games, Beckum missed time

O Line - Lost Starting LT Will Beatty for season, Starting Center Baas missed multiple games and limited, Snee missed a game or 2, Stacy Andrew IR

D-Line Osi missed about half the season, Tuck missed a game or 2 and has been limited in many

S- Phillips missed game or 2

CB- Amukamara missed half the season, Coe IR , Witherspoon IR

LB - Herzlich,Sintim

Harbaugh or Lewis.

Harbaugh probably deserves it more than Lewis, but Lewis probably is the runaway leader for 'deserves the most apologies'.

 
No one mentions Schwartz? I'd put him over Kubiak, Fox and Lewis, who are historically very mediocre. The Lions have had a lot of injuries too, especially in the secondary. It's obviously Harbaugh, though.

 
Harbaugh... With extra points for that funny ### hand shaking incident.

 
San Fran was supposed to be good last season and fell on their face. They became what they should have been under Singletary once Harbaugh took over. And he made Jim Schwartz look like the tool he is. He actually would get my vote. The way he handled the questions after were priceless. "Yeah, that's on me. I kinda went in there a widdle too hawd fo him." You could almost see him smirking.

 
Poll with only one Harbough and no Belichick.

I understand there is an 'Other', but not including the coaches of the #1 and #2 seeds for the AFC (The better conference), really?

And Denver did? I think it's either Harbaugh or McCarthy......yeah KC ended the perfect season but still 15-1 is auto recognition in the race

Harbaugh will probably win. However, it should be McCarthy. Just as it should have been Belicheck for a number of years in a row.

Yes, McCarthy has a very talented team. Whom do you think made Rodgers and Flynn into the QBs they are today?

Not only is McCarthy a very good head coach, he's also probably the best coach for developing QBs. That's paying dividends in a QB driven league.

Funny how you guys want these coaches in there because they had to deal with injuries. McCarthy had 16 guys on the IR last year and won the Superbowl, but STILL no Coach of the Year. This year not only did the Packers not have any Superbowl hangover, but they almost went 16-0. And he still shouldn't get it? :confused:

You gotta be kidding me. Lions probably don't even make the playoffs if Cutler and Forte don't both go down..

Saying McCarthy shouldn't get it just because they won the Superbowl last year is the lamest argument ever. How many teams that win the SB the year before stink it up the next year? They were almost perfect, despite a shoddy defense..

I actually agree its a lame argument too. I still think Harbaugh wins it and wins it easily. He was the best coach this year.

You're sticking to that? :lmao:
 
Last season the 49ers were -1 in takeaway/giveaway differential. This season they are +28.

Harbaugh took the 49ers from 6-10 to 13-3. With Alex Smith at QB.

The Lions would of beat the Bears twice if Stafford hadn't fractured his index finger on this throwing hand, causing him to throw 4 ints. That was his first game with the glove, and the Bears scored 37 points with only one offensive TD. This is when Culter and Forte were still playing.
