Nfl honors held the night before the super bowl. Thats when awards like the Associated Press coach of the year is handed out. In my mind theres only one coach who should win this, that would be Doug Pederson. Here are my three reasons. First off, look at what hes done with this team despite an avalanche of injuries. Losing just your starting running back or middle linebacker or special teams captain or quarterback would ruin most teams season he lost all of those guys and more and Doug Pederson still managed to lead this team and have them by into the next man up mentality they never once fringed. Second pedersons play calling is unorthodox its creative and it work. Remember the back to back screens against a at land to oh flee flicker again the vikings. In two years he led this team to the super bowl. Now i get the coach of the year is based on the regular season the rams sean mcveigh getting a lot of attention but here in the post season its Doug Pederson all the way. Thomas. I can hear him saying yeah, dye that. Kristen thank you a brooklyn pizzeria offering a safer choice to the dane are dangerous tied pod challenge this one actually edible. Check it out.
