Why hasn’t Reid won more coach of the year honors?
 

I think he hasn’t won since 2002. What’s up with that? Anyone know?

Too fat.

Same reason Belichick only won three. It’s more of a biggest surprise/overachiever award.

COTY is essentially the "who's team did way better than anybody expected?" award.

Because the NFL assumes Reid will always field good teams. Thus, he’s overlooked. Oh well, Andy has a heavy hand.

They really need CotY and a different award for biggest turn around or something similar.

Yep.

Key phrase is "of the year." When you're only doing the sample size of one season and it's a position like coaching where the only stats are wins and losses, that's about the only fair judgment criteria you can use.

Although personally, these journalists or whoever comes up with the awards every year do far more quibbling over subjective shit than they claim to do. They could just as easily take into account Andy winning games largely through the defense, which is something he hasn't really done since the Jim Johnson days in Philly. To me that's no different than the handful of morons who gave votes to Drew Brees during Mahomes' first MVP season because lifetime achievement or some bullshit.

Shoulda won it the last three years. Of course the course the East coast media gave it to Brian Daboll a couple years ago. The award is ****ing meaningless.

Yeah, the media is always gonna dig a coach who turned a bad team into a good one. Reid will always be overlooked because he's consistently great. It's a little unfortunate but it's a pretty empyy award and I imagine Reid is thrilled for his coaching peers to get their due

Because the award is a damn joke

When he came in and completely turned the Chiefs around with Alex Smith at QB and didn't win it, you pretty much knew he never would again. He could go 20-0 this year and never be even considered.

Coach is just chalking up Super Bowl wins for the Coach of the Decade award.

sounds like he should getting more of them trophies.

I'm sticking to my guns on Daboll. He's got juuuust enough Belichick stink on him to be damaged goods to a franchise.

Fired within the next 3 seasons. Calling it now.

He's got his eyes on a XXXL gold jacket, not a trophy.
