I saw a surprisingly high number of folks on twitter (including actual voters) touting Pete for COTY.

Ahhh...

Arians did not have cancer. Don't be an ignorant troll.

Arians was an assistant coach who pulled the team together for 11 wins on short notice.

He deserved it.

Lol the new coach of the Arizona Cardinals. At least Arizona fans have something to cheer about.

I loved the comparison between Arians/Carroll in 2012 and Jauron/Belichick in 2001. Arians gets an award that will be forgotten a few months from now, but Carroll will go down in history among the greats. I'll take that tradeoff.

Plus, it makes rooting against the Cardinals more fun.

Ignorant troll? Give me a break, you know exactly what I meant. You need to learn the definition of a troll.

Those of you who think Arians didn't deserve it at least as much as Carroll didn't follow the story. The guy stepped into an interim role and pulled that tea, together for a playoff season. Carroll deserved it too, but to say ignorant things like "Cancer won it" is pathetic. Arians did an amazing job.

Any other year Carroll probably wins, just like any other year Wilson probably wins OROY. Just how it fell this year, that there were a bunch of amazing jobs done by coaches and players and multiple people deserved to win.

This I definitely thought of. Carroll is coach of the last three years but the gradual ascent of the team negates him from being coach of the year.

From wikipedia, ''In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion."

So in an internet forum you posted an inflammatory comment with the primary intent of readers to invoke an logically fallacious emotional response and discuss Chuck Pagano's condition as opposed to Bruce Arians' success.

Troll.

What he posted doesn't fit that definition. Quit derailing the thread.

I am trying to discuss Arians' accomplishments this season and not Chuck Pagano so I don't understand how I derailed conversation. Please enlighten me.

Eh, Arians was deserving. He came into a difficult situation with a roster that didn't have much talent and finished the year with 11 wins and a playoff berth.

If we're going to say that Luck is overrated and didn't deserve all the OROY love he got this year, we have to believe that Arians did a great job.

All I see is you trying to prove how SoCalHawk is a troll. Gimme a break.

The latter is the exact storyline I believe played out.

The Colts were a great story this year and that story should have centered around Arians (his first year with the team I might add) and not Andrew Luck.

Troll.

Ugh. You are one of those. No point in arguing with your type.

Anyway, to those that are interested in talking football, do you think that if Pagano would have been suspended, or been away for another reason other than cancer, that Arians wins?

What type? The thoughtful, intelligent type? Please attack the post - not the poster.

To answer your latter question - yes - absolutely. First year on the job he is forced to take over a team that was 2-14 the year before and guides them to 11 wins. A 9 win turn around for any coach is coach of the year material - let alone an assistant coach in his first year as a head coach and first year with the team.
