Brian Daboll of the New York Giants was named the NFL Coach of the Year for the 2022 season Thursday.
Daboll instantly turned around a Giants team that hadn't made the playoffs since 2016, going 9-7-1 before upsetting the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card Round and then losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Divisional Round.
Hired after doing yeoman's work developing Josh Allen as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator, Daboll did the same in turning around the Giants' offense in Year 1.
Daniel Jones went from a player Giants fans couldn't wait to see head out of town to a potential franchise tag candidate, throwing for 3,205 yards and 15 touchdowns against five interceptions while adding 708 yards and seven scores as a runner.
