Unless the Chiefs lose a bunch of games down the stretch, it's Reid's award to lose.

Amazingly, Alex Smith was involved both times!

Umm, Coach of the Year is not a lifetime achievement award.seahawks08":13quojg8 said:My vote is for Pete. Everything he has done shows in not just the wins but how the team is together and the philosophy he has installed. There is no way any other coach is deserving than Pete is for turning around this team the way he did. Every aspect to build a complete team was a blue print he and John installed from the get go and they are seeing the results. Making difficult decisions, giving RW a chance and sticking with him is not something Andy Reid would have done. If Andy Reid was here, he would gone with a more tried and tested QB option like Matt Flynn in my opinion. Coach of the year should go to some one who had the guts to build the team under his philosophy, get everyone to believe in it and make it work. Pete and John had the toughest job to do, and they have been so far delivery right on the money.

Andy Reid already has this one locked up, no matter how the Chiefs finish the season. No team in the history of the major U.S. pro team sports has ever finished with the worst record in their league and then won their first 9 games the following season....which is even more incredible in the NFL given that 9 games is over half the season.

Pete doesn't have a chance in hell of winning COY, nor should he. Andy Reid already has this one locked up, no matter how the Chiefs finish the season.

Pete's consolation prize will have to be a Lombardi.
