Harbaugh Favored for NFL Coach of the Year

0:00On March 25, John Harbaugh leads the pack as the betting favorite for NFL coach of the year honors this season. He's now with the New York Giants at plus 500 odds, a nod to his potential to revive a team that struggled for years. The Giants have cycled through six head coaches since Tom Cofflin left, and everyone posted losing records. Recent ones die brine to bowl when 20 wins, 40 losses, and one tie, while others hovered around 10 wins total over multiple seasons. That dismal history means Harbaugh might snag the award with just a solid 9-8 finish. Fans and odds-makers see it as a low bar after so many flops. Meanwhile, his old Baltimore assistant, Jesse Mentor, sits next at plus 800 odds in Baltimore. Trailing him are coaches like Robert Salah of the Titans at plus 1000, plus Kellyn Moore, Joe Brady, and Mike McCarthy all at plus 1, 1200. Fans run high for Harbaugh to break the Giants' streak and reshape the race as the season unfolds.
