Smith Edges Dungy for Coach of Year

And going from 6-10 to 10-6, having the game pass you by, after NO ONE even gave you a chance to even have a winning record much less with a Washed up Brunell doesnt deserve a single vote?

Smith is largely thought to be responsible for the defense in Chicago, so he gets more credit for the success of the D.

Gibbs has (arguably) the best d-coordinator as his assistant, so he gets much less credit for our defensive success. Our offense hasn't been consistantly explosive, so there isn't a lot of credit to be taken there.

I'm not saying Gibbs hasn't done the most amazing job here. I would trade him for no one. I would say that Lovie did more with less, though.

But like I said, to not receive ONE vote? and the bears have an explosive offense?

First of, the award is for the season and not for the season + playoff. As for Gibbs getting one vote, why would I vote for him knowing that there is someone else out there more deserving? You don't vote with your heart, you vote with your mind. Besides, Gibbs is working with better talent than the Smith. You guys need to be objective and quite being homers!

I just take issue with coach of the year going to the coach with the biggest win differential from the previous year. If that's it, then why not Gruden? He added 6 wins, too.
