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.

The SB is the real COTY award when you think about it :shrug:

Andy, Mahomes, Jones and Kelce are all 1st ballot HOF. As screwed up as the HOF is they will get that right at least. Mahomes should be MVP every year.

Bill Self never wins it despite always winning

Nah, because Reid is consistently great he's not gonna have a lot of turnaround seasons because his team with mahomes will likely never be bad. NFL coach of the year unfortunately tends to care more about that. I don't think it's the worst thing because hall of Fame coaches don't care about a meaningless award and probably know it means a whole lot to a newer head coach always coaching for his job

He’s pretty much unanimously viewed as the best coach in football, everyone knows it.

I like the way he wins Super Bowl trophies.

Dude started 9-0 with Alex throwing to the keystone cops and didn't win one...

This! Now since he has PM, just think about that right there, he will never win another one unless God forbids we accomplish something spectacular without PH.

Because they don't want to acknowledge greatness.

His opportunity to win it was 2013 when he took the worst team in the league, added Alex Smith at quarterback, and made the playoffs. That's the kind of turnaround that usually gets COTY. But they didn't even do it that year. I don't think that he will ever get it again. Whatever. He's got 3 Superbowl rings in KC and a guaranteed ticket to Canton punched. They can keep their little meaningless award.

Coach of the Year at the collegiate level generally flips from national championship to surprise team depending on the situation.

The NFL seems to prioritize surprise team over everything else.

A championship winning coach hasn't received the AP award since Belichick in 2003.

ya coach of the year should be "coach that turned a losing team into a winning team" award.

Andy did that his first year here after having the #1 overall pick in one of the worst drafts the NFL has ever seen.

Yeah, No players in the 1st round ever made a pro bowl. That was just more pile on "because, Chiefs". :mad:
