Instead of just doing a case study on the 2010 New England Patriots, if we expand not only the criteria by lowering the threshold to ten games, but also reduce the seasons with a team down to five. Only three times ever has a team won 11 games the year before to see its coach win AP NFL Coach of the Year-of which only one was with their team longer than five seasons (Bill Belichick, 2010). Sean McDermott is going into his sixth season with the team, having just led the Bills to 11 wins in 2021. Only three times in the past 20 years has a coach won the Award with their team winning fewer than four games more than the previous season. The AP NFL Coach of the Year Award revolves more around improvement of a team rather than general success. Taking a team largely similar to the prior season and significantly improving its output helps drive the notion that the head coach has created the largest impact. On average, six wins over the previous year is the “magic” number-11 times of which teams met this threshold. The second indicator to consider is the number of wins over the previous season. This leaves only two instances where a head coach was named AP NFL Coach of the Year for the first time, while being with their team longer than five years. Two of those Awards were won by repeat winner Bill Belichick (2007, 2010). If we expand this to account for head coaches with six seasons of tenure for one team, 16 of the past 20 winners are included in this grouping. This already shows that nearly half the time the award goes to a head coach of a team that shows improvement, not necessarily a mark of continued success. I’d personally take guys like Doug Pederson, Robert Saleh, and even Brian Daboll over McDermott when considering this benchmark. Currently in the league there are 14 coaches who meet this criteria. Two leading factors from the award itself stand out early to me.Įight of the previous 20 winners had been with the team no more than a year. Looking back at the last 20 years of AP NFL Coach of the Year winners, I focused on trends to establish what path would be needed in order for McDermott to take home the hardware. If our wildest dreams come true with the Lombardi Trophy, Sean McDermott will not win 2022 AP NFL Coach of the Year. McDermott’s body of work and continued success works far past this annual award-so, why can’t the team & coach both win? That hasn’t happened since 2003 (Bill Belichick).
