Can Brian Daboll Earn Coach of the Year Honors?
The reality is the NFC East has a pretty easy schedule this season. But let's not forget that the Giants and Eagles still play each other twice this season. Those two games could end up deciding the Coach of the Year award.
The Eagles will likely continue winning. They've got the better team with tons of talent surrounding Jalen Hurts. If Philadelphia goes undefeated or gets close, there's a good chance Nick Sirianni will win the award.
However, Brian Daboll has turned around one of the worst franchises in football and made them competitive in one year. Yes, he has Saquon Barkley. But he's also developed Daniel Jones into an adequate quarterback while losing his top four receivers to injuries for most of the year. What Daboll has done for the Giants is way more impressive than what Sirianni has done for the Eagles.
Philadelphia hasn't played a demanding schedule like the Giants. But the Eagles have more talent on both sides of the ball.
Will Another Coach Enter the Coach of the Year Conversation?
Robert Saleh saved receipts, and now the Jets are 5-2 with the same amount of wins as the Bills, with one more game played. The Jets drafted exceptionally well and have had many rookies step up. Breece Hall is out for the year, along with Saleh's best two offensive linemen. The Jets have had to deal with multiple injuries to key offensive spots and yet haven't blinked.
Saleh deserves a lot of credit, especially if the Jets continue to win without Breece Hall.
Meanwhile, Kevin O'Connell has the Vikings at 5-1. They're one of the quieter teams that are 5-1 on the season. He's coaching in the NFC North, which has every other team under .500. That'll help the Vikings win but probably won't help O'Connell win the COTY.
If Pete Carroll and the Seahawks stay in front of the NFC West, Carroll will also be in the conversation. He chose to start Geno Smith over Drew Lock, and it's paying serious dividends. Carroll kept the team together and ensured they were still competitive despite trading away Russell Wilson. He gets major props for that.
