What's the obsession with coach of the year?

Mike Smith was coach of the year, and ended up getting canned. It really doesn't matter.

Exactly. Overrated reward.

It's hard to excuse Shula being here as long as he was. I like Ron but damn.

How can good game clock management be over looked for a qualification?

Possibly the best thing said on here in a long time

I like Ron, but  " poo happens"  should not be on any coach of the year's resume.  JMO.

Nobody ever questioned his ability to motivate players. It’s almost every other aspect of coaching he’s not very good at. If the team is just really good again, there’s a chance he could trick the AP (or whoever it is that chooses that award) a third time

This is funny >>>>> Great Coaches would have clock management inside of 2 minutes under control but somehow we blow it every damn time - His Vet bias and loyalty is major downfall

What?  People were calling for his head at the end of last season and we haven’t played any games since then. Show me some Ws then we can talk.

The Amazon show opened a lot of eyes. He still has issues and he still is responsible overall for the team but he impressed me a lot in that show.

THIS. I really don't want him gone now. Hurney, clearly needs to go.

This is exactly why most of the great posters on this forum have left.  The topic wasn't written by someone on this forum but Bleacher Report.  

80% if not more trash Rivera day in and day out.  Sure he is stubborn to vets and has his own downfalls but I can 100% guarantee he would be hired less than 24 hours after we release him. Than we'll bring in someone with their own defaults and that same 80% will be crying to have him back.

Rivera is one of the best defensive minds in the NFL.  A good coach who had us on the way to back to back winning seasons until Cam got hurt yet most blame Rivera for the lost season.

Well over 1/2 league has true aspirations of winning the superbowl.  With a little luck and minor injuries you might just get.a shot.

I have called for his head because of Shula but I think he's a good head coach and can and will win COY again. 

Too bad our fans base is fickle and can't get on board with the idea.

And if don't want to lose seven games in a row again, a good starting point is keeping your QB healthy.

Never claimed that it was written by me.  I did not trash Rivera (I actually like him a lot) nor did I say he was the best thing since sliced bread.  Just thought it was worth posting as it showed up on one of my feeds.  No need to get so upset.  More than anything, I hope that he will be successful this year and that, with this very promising roster, he will take "us" into the post-season (and beyond).
