Dan Campbell was one of the finalists for the NFL Coach of the Year at the annual NFL Honors. The Lions head coach was a great candidate, leading Detroit to a division title and a 12-5 record.
Alas, Campbell did not win the award. Kevin Stefanski of the Browns was the winner, followed by Houston’s Demeco Ryans and then Campbell in third.
The lowly finish for Campbell did not sit well with a lot of fans.
It wasn't just fans...
How Does Coach Campbell not win COTY ? 😑

Genuinely, what does Dan Campbell have to do to win Coach of the Year? If he couldn't win it this year, when will he?
