Someone explain why Doug doesn't deserve COY consideration.

I'll hang up and listen.

Agreed. There are idiots on here who will want the entire coaching staff canned at season's end

[Mr. Triple Dip]

Hell of a coach and I never saw this coming when they hired him. 3 years in a row with disastrous injuries to key players and he just rallies them into playing their best football when it matters most. Leader of men!

This is the most injury riddled team I've ever seen. He's the clear coach of the year, as far as I'm concerned.

It's an interesting question but I'm not sure if the beneficiary of the NFL's seeding system (which I don't think they should change) should win COTY. And due to the perception that the NFC East was one of the worst divisions ever (it wasn't), Doug probably won't get serious consideration.

I would probably go with Peyton because the Saints went undefeated with Tedy, even though it's a totally valid argument that the Eagles' collective injuries were (much) worse. It seems like the consensus is that it will either be Harbaugh or Shanahan though.

Doug is a great coach.

He deserves consideration and what he dd with this team down the home stretch was very impressive.I don't see them winning a Super Bowl but who knows? Just win next week is all I ask right now.

[TRENT]

Doug is a great coach.

He has his faults, and at times he drives us crazy. But he is a hell of a manager of football players.

He's an idiot sometimes. But ball players will go through a brick wall for him. And that's everything you want in a coach.

Indeed he is. I have found the weekly assertions that he sucks/the SB was luck/Reich was the brains quite baffling.

I wish I could take credit for that. That guy was hilarious!

Because Kyle Shanahan took a 3 win team and will win their division or at least make the playoffs.

It seems like Shanahan is going to win, but IMO he's benefitting too much from the factor that Jimmy G was hurt last year (or maybe that his team just sucked). Obviously you could argue that Doug shouldn't benefit too much from this year's injuries.
