Of course this depends on if the team continues this success so let’s imagine it does for the sake of this argument.
Now, did I place a $5 bet that he would win COTY at the beginning of this season? Yes. However, I would say their aren’t too many coaches that are crushing it right now. And if anything, showing a dramatic improvement mid season shows exactly how big of an impact he was able to make in corrections.
If not Payton, then who?
Honestly Andy Reid must be in the mix because he’s got a team with literally no offensive pieces apart from Kelce to be competitive.
He literally has Mahomes, Pacheco, a great o-line, and a top 5 defense.
