2024 NFL Coach of the Year Award Odds & Favorites

Top 8 Top 16 All
Sports Betting Dime

The NFL Coach of the Year award is not always awarded to the best head coach in the league. Often, it goes to the coach who turned around a bad team early in his tenure, or one whose team still won a lot of games while playing without some of their stars.

It’s hard to predict which coaches will see their teams suffer through some bad injury luck, but it is easy to identify the candidates to turn around bad or underachieving teams. This is why you saw coaches like Jim Harbaugh, who takes on a Chargers team who has underachieved throughout Justin Herbert’s career, Raheem Morris, who’s in his first year as Falcons head coach and inherits a very talented roster, Shane Steichen, who nearly made the playoffs last season while having to start a backup QB most of the year, and Jonathan Gannon, whose Cardinals are looking to improve on a lousy season they played mostly without Kyler Murray.

The coach who has stood out through the first five weeks of the season is Kevin O’Connell. The Vikings head coach has potentially resurrected Sam Darnold’s career as his team is off to a 5-0 start, with wins over some of the league’s top contenders.

Here are some more notes on the movement we have seen:

  • [October 8] Sean Payton moved into the top three contenders for NFL Coach of the Year following Denver’s third straight victory in Week 5. Payton’s odds improved from +1900 to +1100. Mike Macdonald’s odds tanked after his Seahawks were upset by the Giants at home, moving from +625 to +1500.
  • [October 1] Another Commanders win in Week 4 saw Dan Quinn’s NFL COY odds improve from +1750 to +650, tied for the second-best on the board.
  • [September 24] Kevin O’Connell took over as the new favorite to win NFL Coach of the Year after his Vikings beat the Texans in Week 3, moving their record to 3-0. O’Connell’s odds improved from +850 to +335.
  • [September 17] Matt Eberflus went from the second-best odds to win NFL COY at +950 entering Week 2, to +2500 after Chicago’s offense continued to struggle.
  • [September 10] Kevin O’Connell, Jerod Mayo, and Mike Tomlin all saw their COY odds improve significantly after good Week 1 performances from their respective teams. O’Connell went from +2000 to +1350, Tomlin from +2500 to +1450, and Mayo from +3000 to +1300. Raheem Morris’ Falcons didn’t get off to a very good start, however, and his odds faded from +1250 to +1700. Dave Canales saw an even bigger dip as his odds went from +1700 to +2750 following his Panthers being blown out and Bryce Young looking just as bad as last year.
  • [August 27] Mike Macdonald has seen his Coach of the Year odds improve from +2100 prior to the preseason to +1200 as we wrap up the preseason. Bettors like what they saw from Macdonald’s defense in Seattle throughout the preseason.
  • [August 6] Harbaugh has taken back the title of NFL COY favorite as the preseason kicks off.
  • [July 24] Matt Eberflus, bears head coach, has overtaken Jim Harbaugh as the favorite to win NFL Coach of the Year.
  • [April 29] After the Steelers firmed up a new QB room with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, and now put together a really nice draft class, Mike Tomlin’s NFL COY odds have improved from +2650 to +2150.
  • [March 4] The Chargers’ new head coach, Jim Harbaugh, has opened as the favorite to win the 2024-25 NFL Coach of the Year award. Harbaugh inherits an extremely talented QB in Justin Herbert, but a pretty tough cap situation.

AFC vs NFC

AFC NFC
Sports Betting Dime

A coach from the AFC has won NFL COY in four of the last five seasons. Another AFC coach is favored to win it this year in Jim Harbaugh.

Odds for Past Winners

Sports Betting Dime

Since 1991, all but one NFL Coach of the Year winner has led their team to at least ten wins in taking home the honor. The lone winner without ten wins was Brian Daboll two seasons ago, whose Giants only went 9-7-1. Daboll’s turnaround was still significant enough, as he took over a team that went 4-13 the previous season and made a QB who had firmly been labeled a bust look very serviceable.

The only other notable from that streak above is Bruce Arians, who led the Colts to a 9-3 record as head coach after taking over for Chuck Pagano after he stepped away for health reasons. The Colts did still win 11 games, though.

Past Coach of the Year Winners

Year Coach of the Year Team Record
2023 Kevin Stefanski (2) Browns 11-6
2022 Brian Daboll Giants 9-7-1
2021 Mike Vrabel Titans 12-5
2020 Kevin Stefanski Browns 11-5
2019 John Harbaugh Ravens 14-2
2018 Matt Nagy Bears 12-4
2017 Sean McVay Rams 11-5
2016 Jason Garrett Cowboys 13-3
2015 Ron Rivera (2) Panthers 15-1
2014 Bruce Arians (2) Cardinals 11-5

The 2021-22 NFL season was the first time we saw the regular season schedule expanded to 18 weeks, with each team playing 17 games. This is why you see the extra game in Mike Vrabel, Brian Daboll, and Kevin Stefanski’s (2023) respective records the past three seasons.

We have not seen a coach win the honor in back-to-back years since Joe Gibbs in 1982 and 1983.
