The NFL Coach of the Year is one of the more unique awards in the NFL. Sometimes it can go to a coach who is already viewed as one of the best in the NFL for leading his stacked team to a No. 1 seed, but other times it can go to a coach who exceeds expectations.
Last year, NFL Coach of the Year award winner Kevin Stefanski of the Browns overcame injuries at key positions, such as quarterback, running back, plus left and right tackles, to win double-digit games and make the playoffs. Brian Daboll of the Giants stepped in as a first-year lead man in 2022 and led the Giants to a 9-7-1 record, plus an upset postseason victory, and Mike Vrabel of the Titans won the No. 1 seed in the AFC in 2021 despite a myriad of injuries.
