Coach of the Year for Rivera Again?


B.BERSIN

Recommended Posts

On October 1, 2012,  Arians was named the interim head coach of the Colts following coach Chuck Pagano's leukemia diagnosis.Arians led the Colts to a 9–3 record in 2012

Arians was named the 2012 Coach of the Year  , making him the first interim head coach to win the award , Then he won it in 2014  with 11-5 record with the  Arizona Cardinals  .

So if he did win it this year that would be  3 times in the last 4 years ,  If so hell they should just rename it the Coach Arians Award /sigh...  But yea when Ron gets 16 wins i would say its all his and it would be well deserved ..

The last Coach to win it back to back was Joe Gibbs 1982/1983 I think ,...

After losing Benjamin and going into the season with our WRs and Michael Oher at LT? If we go 16-0 and Rivera doesn't get it I think that it will be discussed for years as one of those "how did that happen" type of things.

Indeed , And seeing they have only been 2 other Coaches to go undefeated 1972 Don Shula 14/0 and  2007 Bill belichick 16/0 And they both won Coach of the year for going undefeated, I do not  see how Ron would not win it if he goes undefeated as well ,

I think that we could lose our last 2 games and Ron will still win it, running away. We have been the best team in the NFL all season. I think the only question is whether Ron wins it unanimously or not.

This is kinda off topic, but considering Cam has pretty much locked up the MVP award, who is gonna get the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award? Is that Cam too? I can't think of another offensive player doing it at a higher level than Cam this season...Palmer maybe? Russell Wilson? Idk...I think that's Cam too. Hell, the Panthers have a very legit shot of sweeping all the postseason awards. That would be the icing on a hopefully historic season.

I hate to say this and I feel the bant stick close to my neck but if you are truly objective..,Belichek deserves some looks with the amount of injuries the Pats have had this year. 

With that said (and three showers later) is there any doubt that RR is the runaway favorite to win? I think he is without a doubt.

    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
    • What weird blood red moon has cast its spell?  What’s next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Bonus question:  Did Canales open up his playbook or did Bryce find an extra high gear in his stick shift?
