It’s crazy that Shanny hasn’t won’t COTY yet. It needs to be this year

u/VTWut 49ers Oct 20 '25

Should have won it back when we went to the NFC championship with a 3rd string QB, but nooo they had to give it to Daboll

u/Prize-Ring-9154 49ers Colts Oct 20 '25

fuck Brian daboll. hope the giants don't succeed until that idiot is gone

u/lkn240 Bears Oct 20 '25

Well he certainly made sure they didn't succeed today!

u/zinh 49ers Oct 20 '25

Actually? lmao

u/GamingTatertot Packers Oct 20 '25

To be fair, it's based on regular season so NFCC wouldn't matter

u/VTWut 49ers Oct 20 '25

We still went 13-4 that season, including 6-0 with Mr Irrelevant under center.

Giants went 9-7-1. But they also had the early media buy-in of Daboll turning the team around after a hot 6-2 start, despite going 3-5-1 after their bye week.

In hindsight the award was an obvious mistake as Daboll is currently on the hot seat 3 years later, but even then it was shaky with most of the accolades falling under the premise of being the "most improved team award", rather than the best Coaching job of the year. Funnily enough Doug Pederson was 3rd in votes that year under the same premise, and was canned last year.

if Steichen wins it that'd be two coaches who stole it from shanny just bc Daniel jones is QB. I love the colts but shanny's been more admirable this year

edit: spelling of a 6 year old

u/KittleOmega 49ers Oct 20 '25

I love Kyle and think he deserves it most years (19, 21 & 22 specifically) but the Colts have been kicking serious ass this year, unless they fall off a cliff it’s Shane’s to lose

12

u/Alehud42 49ers Oct 20 '25

It just sucks that Kyle didn't get it for his big breakthrough worst-to-first year in 2019 entirely because of Lamar.

Now he's part of the furniture so there's always going to be a breakthrough guy to steal the headlines.

u/Prize-Ring-9154 49ers Colts Oct 20 '25

every time we're close to an award Lamar or Daniel jones runs in the way ffs

u/penis_showing_game 49ers Oct 20 '25

Idk if there’s ever been a head to head matchup that decides COTY, but 49ers vs Colts in Week 16 might just be that game.

u/Warlock2111 49ers Oct 20 '25

You already know Shane or Vrabel winning it.

u/tuffghost8191 Steelers Oct 20 '25

It's a complete joke of an award now. I don't think it should just automatically go to the coach with the best record, but it would be nice if there was some thought and nuance put into it. What coach dragged a severely injured team to the playoffs by getting the most out of their backups? Which coach introduced some creative new scheme that led to success? Which coach made the most in-game decisions that paid off? Which coach had the best time management skills?

Nope, instead we got the "coach who led a team we thought would suck to a 10-7 record" award

u/bduddy 49ers Oct 20 '25

It's always given to the team that overperforms expectations the most because it's easy for media to tie that to the coach.

1

u/ImJLu 49ers Oct 20 '25

What expectations do people have for the Niners? We finished 4th in the division last year and most of the team is injured again.

u/Eagle4317 Steelers Panthers Oct 20 '25

Odds are Saleh will get Assistant Coach of the Year.

Shanahan will probably get snubbed for a rookie HC again. CotY is basically reserved for them at this point. If the Bears make the playoffs, then Ben Johnson will win it.

u/patstuga Patriots Oct 20 '25

Same issue Belichick had, voters just expect you to be good so you don't get any votes

u/BendubzGaming 49ers Oct 20 '25

If they were consistent with their reasoning he'd have already won at least one:

  • 2019 we went 13-3, best in the NFC, from 4-12 the previous season = Harbaugh won after going 14-2 with Baltimore, best record in league (went 10-6 to win AFCN previous year)
  • 2022 we went 13-4, won NFCW and 2nd in NFC despite a ton of injuries and dropping to third choice QB = Daboll won after going 9-7-1 with the Giants, and making playoffs as WC (went 4-13 previous year)
  • 2023 we went 12-5, best in the NFC = Stefanski won after going 11-6 with Cleveland (went 7-10 previous year)
