After leading the New York Giants back to the playoffs, head coach Brian Daboll has been named the PFWA Coach of the Year.
Under Daboll, the Giants went from 4-13 to 9-7-1 with a win in the Wild Card round of the playoffs over the Minnesota Vikings. The Giants saw Daniel Jones turn around his career, cutting down on turnovers and becoming both a force with his arm and his legs under Daboll's watch. The Giants also played with a renewed sense of passion for the game that was missing under prior head coaching regimes.
According to USA Today: "The Giants were fourth in the NFL in rushing yards per game (148.2), fifth in rushing yards per play (4.84) and set a franchise record by scoring a rushing touchdown in each of the team’s final 15 regular-season contests."
Daboll is the fourth Giants coach to receive the PFWA Coach of the Year Award, joining Bill Parcells, Dan Reeves and Jim Fassell.
Daboll is also a finalist for the AP Coach of the Year Award.
