The Associated Press was completely open and disclosed the identities of voters for NFL Coach of the Year alongside other accolades presented at the yearly NFL Honors event.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, after guiding his team to 15 victories while managing numerous injuries to crucial players, was outperformed by Minnesota Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell.
“I invested considerable thought into this season with this team.” I believed it could become a remarkable team. I didn’t really discuss preseason predictions and how I utilize them to inspire the team. “It truly wasn’t concerning that,” O’Connell stated, following his award victory. “It primarily stemmed from my faith in our organization, my trust in our coaches and players to unite and strive to win just one football game, which was in the opener.”
O’Connell went on to say, “After that, it was all about aiming to win the next one.” “I believe it’s an excellent illustration of how you require both people and resources to unite and discover ways to achieve distinct outcomes.” It didn’t conclude as we desired. We return to our tasks. However, I feel extremely proud of the team this year and their achievements.
Campbell garnered 19 votes for first place, whereas O’Connell obtained 25 votes for the top position.
