Brian Daboll of the New York Giants has been named NFL Coach of the Year, with the announcement being made Thursday night during the league’s ‘NFL Honors’ awards ceremony.
Daboll had previously won the Pro Football Writers Association (PFWA) Coach of the Year honor.
A first-time head coach, Daboll led a Giants team that had suffered double-digit losses in five straight seasons and had gone 4-13 in 2021 to a 9-7-1 record and its first playoff berth since 2016. The Giants then defeated the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild-Card Round for their first playoff victory since they won the 2011 Super Bowl.
