Brian Daboll Named NFL Coach Of The Year
2 years agoNew York Giants head coach Brian Daboll was named The Associated Press NFL Coach of the Year in 2022 in his first season in New York. Daboll led the Giants to their first winning record since 2016 and their first playoff win in more than 10 years. He garnered 16 first-place votes, just ahead of San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan's 12 first-place votes. Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson finished third with five first-place votes. Daboll is the fifth Giants head coach to win the award, joining Jim Fassel (1997), Dan Reeves (1993), Bill Parcells (1986) and Allie Sherman (1961-62). The Giants' resurgence led to a bounce-back year for running back Saquon Barkley and also resulted in quarterback Daniel Jones reaching career-highs in passing yards (3,205), completions (317) and completion percentage (67.2).
