Odds on RR getting COTY?

What do you think his chances are?  I feel like he has a much stronger case than Kelly or Reid, particularly given their schedules and the consistency the Panthers showed after the first few weeks.

 

Belichick, however, worries me.  The guy really pulled off a good year despite losing most of his team.  And of course, the media loves the Patriots...

But dat turnaround tho.

Rivera went from starting out 1 and 3 and proceeding to only lose 1 more game the rest of the season while knocking off 3 playoff teams and overtaking our division the second to last week of the season and ultimately clinching a bye in the playoffs. Reid went the opposite way after a strong start, so hes out. Not to mention the mid season coaching methodology paradigm shift to the ballsy gambler he became. And yes, the media likes the Patriots, but they LOVE the moniker Riverboat Ron. I think he gets COTY.

Belichick is in the Phil Jackson category, (Phil Jackson only won one COY award despite winning 11 NBA titles) he builds a successful team every year so voters tend to look for something fresh or news worthy like last year, Bruce Arians took over for the Colts after Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with cancer and the Colts ended up finishing 11-5. This year after starting 1-3 for the third season in a row, most pundits thought that Rivera would surely be fired during the offseason or even mid season. Rivera turned it around and went 11-1 to end the season and beat quality opponents during that stretch. Andy Reid was the frontrunner a month ago but the Chiefs did not beat any quality opponents and they lost 5 of their last 7 games. Chip Kelly is interesting because he was a college coach and led the Eagles to a division title but the Eagles like the Chiefs always had talented players, they just needed a coaching staff to utilize their talents properly. Rivera started from scratch, he had to draft his franchise quarterback (Cam), build his defense (drafted Luke, Short, and Star), and develop talented players like Greg Hardy.

I think he has a good chance, after winning the division, but there's also a good chance it goes to Reid (what a turnaround of a season) or Arians (would possibly been his had they made the playoffs).  I don't think it should go to Chip Kelly, as his only major accomplishment was winning his division imo - whereas Riverboat's got the first round bye.  Both teams started out 1-3, but the Panthers winning streak was just more impressive.

 

I don't think it goes to Belichick because he's just expected to make amazing happen on a yearly basis, and does.

    • Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.
    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
