The Saints and Ravens have lost more "key pieces" this year than the Titans. I'd say Kliff Kingsbury is the front runner. Lost his MVP candidate QB for a month and still has them in 1st place.

He had to coach against the Texans and Jaguars four times this season. That alone should take him out of the conversation

Vrabel's done a good job so far. He may turn out to be their best coach in franchise history.

Yeah, that Texans loss was embarrassing, not to mention losing to the Jets. Titans have a low SOS

Opponent record / possession margin

Wins
9-4 / 3
8-4 / 2
7-6 / 2
7-6 / 1
7-6 / 1
6-7 / 1
5-8 / 1
2-11 / 3
2-11 / 3

Losses
10-2 / 4
9-4 / 3
3-10 / 1
2-11 / 2

Solid job particularly on average teams in tight games but nothing about this resume screams runaway COTY, injuries or not

Stat: Ravens have 22 players on IR and had 81 starts missed because of injury. Titans have 18 players on IR and 37 starts missed because of injury. Yeah, the Titans have had bad luck with injuries this year but it's nothing compared to what the Ravens have had to endure.


Seriously. The Ravens have lost like an entire defensive backfield and two offensive lines to injury. Oh, and their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd string RBs before the season even started.

PS - I'd vote for Belichick.

Our woeful offense is basically practice squad guys.
Outside of Henry and Brown who's missed significant time on offense? Through 13 games I count 6 combined games missed by their starting OL (Davis and Lewan, 3 each)

Forget the elite losses of Henry AJ brown and on and on and on.
In 10 games AJ Brown broke 100 yards twice.

It may be a mediocre offense but blaming it on injuries is bullshite. Embrace the healthy suck.

He had it locked up in November but he had the 1 seed with Kyler out, got Kyler back then blew it. Getting smoked by the Lions is disqualifying.

Taylor lost all his players to injury and still got the top seed? Vrabel and if he was the coach of anyone else it wouldn’t even be a competition

The Saints are going to make the playoffs in a season where they were missing their starting QB for over half the season, played their 3rd and 4th string QB for several games, were missing their two all pro tackles, starting RB for a few games, their #1 receiver ALL year, playing with basically practice squad receivers all year, etc...

If Sean Payton doesn't win the award, then just cancel it altogether.
