Obviously he will not win it as it seems to go to a guy who coaches a good team into the playoffs. But expectations were at best 2-14 with most everyone especially after week 2 saying 0-16 is likely possibly 1-15 if they get lucky and play a perfect game. This staff takes a roster comprised of UDFAs and cast offs to 5-11, has to be worth something doesn't it? Considering 2 of the wins were against division winners and ended up knocking the Pats off the bye week he IMO deserves to be in the top 5/6 for the voting. With it overall looking like...

Harbaugh
Shanahan
Tomlin
LaFluer
Flores/O'Brien/Vrabel
 
popularity contests need to stop. The Pro Bowl is all about popularity for instance. Parker should be in it, Needham could be in it as a reserve. Fitzpatrick could be in it as a reserve (I know, laugh all you want lol).

Flores SHOULD be COTY. Why? Because he took a waiver wire team and went 5-11, and beat the Patriots (and Eagles).

Look at the Browns, talent all over yet didnt do much.

I guess Vrabel could be a candidate too, because Titans look good. Im rooting for them or KC to go all the way this year.
 
Should he get votes? Absolutely. What he did with this patchwork team is nothing short of incredible. He took a team of undrafted, unknown players, and won 5 more games than anyone expected. Including beating the Patriots.

Will he get votes? Doubtful
 
If Pittsburgh made the playoffs I think Tomlin wins CotY. Now it’s probably down to Shanahan or Harbaugh. The Ravens breaking a 41 year old team rushing yard record this season, plus Lamar Jackson’s rise to MVP in his second year, plus their 13-3 record and 1 seed lead me to believe it will be Harbaugh. Flo deserves a vote though for winning 5 games with our practice squad roster.
 
Lord he should atleast garner some consideration. Him and Mike Tomlin did some serious work this year. Harbaugh is another, he reconfigured his team. But yea, imo, Brian Flores should receive some sorta consideration. Don't wanna get my hopes too high though. We've seen this before and always got let down the next year. So I'm gonna reserve my excitement until I see what the product looks like next year.
 
It’s gonna be Harbaugh. He completely reimagined his team in 1.5 seasons - and made them a juggernaut.

Flo was excellent w the mash roster but keep in mind a lot of that was his doing so...

Tomlin was in the running but not making the playoffs has to hurt his chances.

I predict each guy will get 1 vote at best - but still a vote.
 
Flores won’t get much, if any consideration, because that’s not how these flawed award systems work. But he absolutely should.

It’s far easier to make a talented roster great than it is to make a subpar roster competitive. You can’t convince me that John Harbaugh could have done better, or equally, if given the same roster and circumstances as Flores.
 
there is only one coach that should win that award its kyle, Shanahan. He turned around a team that was 2-14 the year before he was hired and in his third season posted a 13-3 record and took the top seed in the NFC in his third season. All this in the strongest division in football with last year's super bowl runner up the Rams and the always contending Seahawks. The 49ers are not some ultra-talented team with superstars all over the field. the offense has one standout skill position player in George Kittle. They have a solid QB at best, nothing special at running back and a below-average wide receiver corp. This offense ranked second in scoring and 4th in yards after ranking 21st and 16th the previous year. Defensively the team ranked 8th in points and 2nd in yards while ranking 28th and 13th last year.

Harbaugh would get the second vote since the Ravens are not a star-studded team and won 14 games. both of these coaches did some next-level stuff this year but Shanahan did more with less in a harder division
 
It really should be Kyle shanahan. The turnaround that the 49ers have had is nearly unprecedented

Don't know much about the current 49ers but if you have the facts right and I'm not doubting you that is an excellent argument on his behalf.
I'm hoping the same will be said about Flo in his 3rd year after the next 2 drafts/FA gives him a solid talent base to work with. A 13-3 Fins would put us right in with a massive chance of winning another SB.
As for this season he certainly deserves some mention in dispatches.

Nobody could be mad with a 3rd year 13-3 for us although that would be our third-best record of all time.
As for mention no coach going 5-11 with any team deserves coach of the year consideration unless its an expansion team. To be honest the Buffalo coach deserves more consideration.
None of this is a knock on Flores but there are zero arguments for coach of the year fo a 5-11 team.
