Re: Belichick COY
 

Bullshit! You can't be COY when you're one and done after a 14-2 season. I'm sorry but the Packer's coach got robbed. I would even say Rex Ryan or Lovie Smith deserved it more than Hoddie.

Re: Belichick COY
 

Wasn't it Mangini's signs he stole? The atmosphere inthe NFL is one of a short memory.

Re: Belichick COY
 

Should have been tod Haley IMO or even mike smith

Re: Belichick COY
 

skinsfaninok:


Haley and Mike Smith (not Lovie Smith) are viable candidates for CoY.

So are DelRio, Tomlin (no Big Ben for first 4 weeks), McCarthy and Morris.

All of these folks did a very good job this year...

And so did Bill Belichick.

If I had a vote - - which I do not - - I would have voted for Haley. But I cannot bring myself to think that Belichick did not deserve the award.

Re: Belichick COY
 

14-2 with a lot of new players, can't complain about that.

Re: Belichick COY
 

McCarthy should have gotten it. A half a billion players on IR and he still gets the team to the Super Bowl. Haley also deserved a long look. Maybe Reid for being able to replace a Franchise QB so quickly. Lovie Smith going from the hot seat to the NFC Championship. Raheem Morris going from the Number 3 pick in the draft with no one giving him a shot to do anything for at least another year (if that) to 10-6. Personally all of the guys I listed I would have voted ahead of Bellicheck, but McCarthy got snubbed if you ask me.

Well it's based on regular season, so taking a 10-6 team to the SB doesn't really matter

When did they vote on the award?

Yes. I would have voted for McCarthy but it is difficult to say that Darth does not deserve the award.

I think they used to vote for it between the ending of the season and he wildcard weekend, but I also remember hearing something about that changing. Let me keep searching. Also I'd vote for BB

Re: Belichick COY
 

If the vote were taken prior to the playoffs, and much as I hate to admit it, I'd give BB the vote. Completely retooled without "rebuilding" and still went 14-2. Before the 3rd Jets game, everybody had them going to the SB.

If the vote were held today, McCarthy. No doubt.

Re: Belichick COY
 

Tom Cable would have gotten my vote. Really? The Raiders? 8-8? That's enough to earn the award.

Re: Belichick COY
 

Tomlin got no love at all eh? I thought the Steelers did a great job at holding things together without BR for 4 games to start the season.

Can't argue with BB though.

Re: Belichick COY
 

My vote would of gone to Raheem Morris. He did a phenomenal job. The Buc's were terrible last year, now they're well on their way to being a contender. Not to mention that he did it with one of the youngest rosters in the NFL.

Re: Belichick COY
 

at least one person in new england woke up, read this in the paper and thought to themselves, "hey, maybe i should start being a hard core patriots fan today."

I gotta agree with you.

McCarthy and the Packers had some devastating injuries...or at least they should have been. The came into the Super Bowl running on fumes personnel-wise, but still playing better than anyone in the NFL. Sure, the postseason does not factor into this award, but GB completely turned their season around after losing key players. The made a great run to get to the playoffs.

Another candidate would be TB's coach, Rahheem Morris. NO ONE expected that team of nobodies to perform that well. Surprise team of the year.

The Patriots pulled another choke-season. Great when it doesn't count, fold when it does. That's not the first time Belichick's team has done that.

The Packers squeaked in only on the incompetence of the Giants. No way McCarthy deserved it over BB. They traded one of their top players (moss) and still came out 14-2 in that division.

The guy is a asshat, but he's a coach I'd love to have.

Those honors are based on regular season by the way, nothing to do with the post season.

Half of the Packers were on IR and they still made it to the playoffs. Also, the Packers and their backup QB put up a huge fight against Darth Hoody. I do think BB is fine as a COY, but I would put down the likes of McCarthy.

Re: Belichick COY
 

I think the Packers' GM deserves more credit for being shrewd at nabbing talent than McCarthy himself. McCarthy pissed away a win against us.
