Bill Belichick and Kliff Kingsbury are playing nice in their race for NFL Head Coach of the Year.
The New England Patriots coach and Arizona Cardinals coach entered Week 14 as co-frontrunners to win this year's award, per PointsBet. But when asked about his candidacy Thursday, Kingsbury heaped praise on his competition, suggested the NFL should name the award after Belichick.
"Until he retires, I don't think anybody else should get the award, honestly," Kingsbury said. "He should be that every single year that he's coaching."
