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.
