I get him not winning this year – it was a stacked field – but 5th?
Had they beaten Seattle the last week of the season and earned the one seed, I bet he would’ve won it
Daboll winning in 2022 will never not look stupid lol. He does that with any team besides the Giants he doesn’t even get votes.
Does anyone *really* care about coach of the year? Awards matter for QBs, that’s about it.
I have no idea how many times Belichick won COTY, but I know how many rings he has.
It always goes to the coach of the shit team that had the biggest turnaround. It’s not a big deal.
It’s an underdog award. Meaningless for the elite coaches. Just know our coach is held to a standard so high that it doesn’t matter how well he does and with any players. I’m thankful to call him the Niners coach
Damn, you kinda did him dirty with that picture. He looks terrible.
Don’t coaches who win COTY get fired after 3-4 seasons?
recency bias. the last game everyone saw was a disaster class
He musta peed on someone’s pancakes
Kyle shanahan was absolutely ROBBED in 2022 a coach with a 9-7-1 record third in the division win coach of the year while he went 13-4 made it to the nfc championship game with a third string qb
Anyone could win COTY under Shanahan’s system.
Every coach of the year in the past few years has been fired.
Politics as usual 🤷🏽♂️
There’s no point in going down that road,we are the Faithful for a reason. No other fan base can replicate us. We’re everywhere across the world, with the ring or without it. I’ve never seen a more ruthless fan base, and I’m proud to be gold-blooded.
Fuck everybody that had a hand in it, no lube
It’s a compliment.
Coach of the Year is just an unexpected over performer.
Everyone knows Shanahan is one of maybe 3 coaches that could pull off what the 49ers pulled off.
Edit: Coen should have received it. He turned the jaguars from a multi decade long joke to a serious contender in his first year ever as a Head Coach
“Pundits”: Purdy is just a product of Shanahan’s system.
49er fans: OK so if that’s true, why doesn’t Shanahan win COTY every year if his QB is glorified Trent Dilfer?
He will win the award when everyone thinks the 49ers will be awful and then turn out to be good.
That’s what the award actually is sadly.
There was some great coaching this year. Wouldn’t have been surprised if any of the nominated guys won it as they all would’ve been justified
The last game fucked it
Doesn’t matter since CotY won’t survive after a year or two after winning it
COTY is now basically Most Improved Coach. If you start out at good and get to great, you’re whatever. If you start out as bad and get to good, you win.
Nah, winning COTY seems to get you fired.
You know whose won coach of the year? Matt Nagy, Jason Garrett, Brian Dabol, Kevin Stefanski (twice)… Does this award really mean anything?
2022 especially was robbery
You can ignore COTY awards. Look at a few of the recent winners – Stefanski, Daboll, KOC. What have any of them done recently?
If it were actually the best coach of the season, you’d have the top 2-3 coaches rotating through the award. Andy Reid, Shanahan, McVay, etc.
Best not to let it bother you and just focus on what matters.
They really need to change the name of the award to “most surprising turnaround of the year”
Steve Carrell never won an Emmy for the office nor Jason Alexander for Seinfeld 🤷♂️ subjective awards are subjective
I think it’s because we’re expected to be winners and contenders that the NFL thinks this is just an average season for us

Who gives a shit. I’d rather he win a sb
Kinda similar to Jerry Sloan with the Utah Jazz. He was so good for so long that it was just expected and he never won Coach of the Year even though there were a handful of years that he worked wonders with terrible rosters. Let’s hope that’s where the Shanny / Sloan comparison ends bc Sloan never won a championship…
