appreciative. I think it’s the only time Coach Dabes looked a little emotional (not to be confused with “passionate” when expressing himself during a game). Which was cool to see. Happy for him. Well deserved.
He's winning this award as a Rookie Head Coach. Pretty insane when you think about that.
I'd guess it's not very unusual for coaches to win it their first year with a team, since it tends to go to a team that has been turned around from last year. And most first year head coaches are rookies, as most fired coaches don't get a second shot elsewhere.
Does anyone know if DaBoll is the first Rookie Head Coach to win the AP Coach of the Year Award? Was just curious.
He's the third NYG head coach to win the honor as a rookie, Fassel in 97 and Sherman in 61 were rookies. Sherman won again in 62, Parcells in 86, and Reeves in 93 also won it, but not as rookies.

Brian Daboll after winning Coach of the Year said “I’d rather be playing down here.’’ He will watch Super Bowl LVII back home in Jersey. “I’m gonna sit back, eat a tray full of nachos, drink a six pack and then I’ll start my diet. I’m just gonna watch it as a fan.’’ Link - ( New Window )

I absolutely love this guy.
I read not too long ago he lost about 50 pounds last year throughout the offseason.
Congratulations.
I think Fassel won COTY his first season

It looks to me like 4 of the last 6 winners (McVay, Nagy, Stefanski, and Daboll) were rookie head coaches.

I assumed Daboll would be either #1 or #2, but when Eisen began his list in reverse order by announcing... "At #5- Brian Daboll" I turned it off.
Congrats to Brian Daboll, NFL's CoY!

It's titled, "Brian Daboll WINS Coach of the Year - Best 2022 Season Moments".

So cool for a football lifer to win this award in his first year as a HC!!!
Hubie and Larry Brown(except with the Knicks) did exceptional work with less, but agree
“I’m gonna sit back, eat a tray full of nachos, drink a six pack and then I’ll start my diet,’’ Daboll said. “I’m just gonna watch it as a fan.’’
In all seriousness I had in ranked as a C tier candidate, but much better than the F tier Shurmur/Judge/Mcadoo hydra.

+1
It definitely has been a while and a long search - 3 coaches in what 6-7 years before Daboll?
I really like the the tag team duo of Daboll and Schoen. I think we are in GREAT hands.
