Sean McVay’s only Coach of the Year honor obviously came in 2017, when he did the one thing that a head coach has to do to get serious consideration to win the award, which is to be in charge of a team that most people assume is bad and then make them look good. McVay took over an L.A. Rams team from Jeff Fisher that ranked last in scoring and went 11-5 in his first season, allowing him to dominate the Coach of the Year voting in 2017.
Now consider that the six coaches who won the award before him and the one who won after him are no longer with the team they were on when they were “the best coach in all of football”.
