Question

Brian Daboll last week won the Coach of the Year Award despite the Giants finishing with a modest 9-7-1 record – just 2 games over .500. Who is the only coach who’s won this award with an even lesser win-loss record?

Answer

Jimmy Johnson, who won his only COY award when the Cowboys improved from 1-15 to 7-9 in 1990. Three others have won the award while finishing 2 games over .500: Vince Lombardi (Packers moving from 1-10-1 to 7-5 in 1959), Paul Brown (Bengals improving from 4-9-1 to 8-6 in 1970) and Jack Patera (Seahawks going from 5-9 to 9-7 in their third year).

I was thinking of Daboll in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, as I saw Kadarius Toney bust loose on a long punt return and also catch a touchdown. (I still think it made sense for the Giants to unload him, but I noticed.)
