Coach of the Year (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

Hypothetical situation: The Packers go undefeated and the 49ers finish 13-3.

Who should win Coach of the Year?

Obviously, leading the 49ers to a 13-3 record is nothing short of a miracle. But can you NOT give the award to McCarthy after a 16-0 season?

Shula won it in 1972 and Belichick won it in 2007 after their perfect regular seasons, though granted, I have not researched who finished behind them.

What's your view?

I could not imagine McCarthy not winning the award if the Pack go undefeated. 13-3 is impressive from where the 9ers finished last year but Undefeated is historical.

McCarthy would win, Harbaugh should win.

It's backwards. Coaches that make great franchise turnarounds in their first year always win it.

Even if pack go 16-0, Harbaugh wins this award and I don't even think it is that close. A team projected to win about 13 games winning 16 games isn't as impressive as a team projected to win about 5 games winning 13. I think Harbaugh is a lock to win this award for what he has done given the team he was running.

I'd vote Harbaugh. No-one saw this coming. 16-0 is historical. But its also historical for some college coach to just walk into the NFL and dominate the league. Even Jimmy Johnson struggled his first few years in the league.
