Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury is among the front-runners for the NFL Coach of the Year Award this season.
But when Kingsbury was asked about being in contention for the award on Thursday, he deflected praise to New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick.
"I mean, they should just name the award 'Bill Belichick,'" Kingsbury told reporters. "And when he retires, like, bring that back. But, yeah, until he retires, I don't think anybody else should get the award, honestly. He should be that every single year that he's coaching."
Kingsbury may have a point, as the Patriots are on a seven-game win streak and surprisingly moved into first place in the AFC at 9-4.
