The only way any Bucs coach will ever make coach of the year is by winning the superbowl. The people that make the decision just do not like the Bucs, regardless of how well their coach does.

I accepted this long ago. I don’t know of any other NFL team less respected than the Bucs. The only way to change that is by winning multiple superbowls in a 10 year span like the Pats did.

Then they would have no choice but to respect.

Yes it would certainly be an impressive season of coaching. Equally as impressive a job as Raheem Morris in 2010! I’m tired of people acting like Raheem never did anything worth while. If the Bucs playing as bad as they did in 2011 was Raheem’s doing, than them playing as well as they did in 2011 (with what was it 10 rookies or so seeing significant playing time?) was his doing as well. It has to work both ways.

Not to change the subject entirely though. Schiano is doing a good job and this Bucs team has been exciting to watch.

That was always my understanding, too. If the Bucs have around the same record as the Colts come the end of the season, Pagano will win it (he’s been able to attend practices on a limited basis. I’m sure he’ll find a way to be at the last game of the season, AT LEAST. especially if they’re still in position for a playoff spot)….

…but if we make they playoffs and they miss it, then i think there’s a strong possibility we get it. We’re the only team originally slotted from the top of the draft last year that have had such a strong turn around (Colts notwithstanding).

@SteveK, flmike is right, while Pagano’s story is great, and the Colts are playing very well, he isn’t the one doing the coaching, and should not win Coach of the Year (again, Arians would be the one in line for that for the Colts).

I think it’s still to early to speak confidently about who the Coach of the Year should be, a lot can happen in 6 games.

The Bucs or Seahawks will make the playoffs. One but not both. Which ever one makes it, that head coach will get the honor of CotY

It’s too early to tell, let’s win the super bowl first, then I think he’ll be a pretty good candidate Let’s hope this game is on TV, just saw this guy is going to try to give updates on whether or not the game will be televised. This isn’t spam I promise!

@SteveK
In that case Arians should win it since he is the one doing the actual coaching.

Schiano will finish 2nd.

Pagano wins it, leukemia fight, 1st overall pick: John Elway Jr. takes them to the playoffs.

At minimum, he will have to make the playoffs to beat out the coach that wins the SuperBowl. I would vote for him today, but that selection is driven by the media and Schiano didn’t exactly start off as a media darling. Of course wiinning cures a lot things so he will certainly have a shot!
