In 2010, Bill Belichick was named the NFL’s Coach of the Year. Since then, he has led the New England Patriots to eight straight AFC Championship Games, five Super Bowl appearances, and three world championships. No other coach in the league has been even close to matching Belichick’s success, but the future Hall of Famer and consensus best coach in football has not won Coach of the Year since his aforementioned 2010 season.
Meanwhile, Bruce Arians and Ron Rivera have won the award twice. Jim Harbaugh, Jason Garrett, Sean McVay and most recently Mike Nagy have also been recognized as the league’s most outstanding coaches over the last eight years.
