To me it boils down to which coach is having the biggest impact on their team.

To me that’s Marrone. The majority of this team was here last year. You added a few pieces on defense and now all of a sudden they are playing at a historic level being top ranked in almost every important statistical category. The offense with a makeshift line, poor qb play and a rookie running back with injuries to the wideout corp has the number 1 rushing attack, top 10 offense and top 11 in points scored. What would he do with a quality offense with healthy wideouts, better linemen and better qb play?

The side of the ball with all the talent is playing at a historic level and the side of the ball with hardly any talent is still better than 2/3rds of the league. If that’s not coach of the year material after winning the division, hell even making the playoffs after a 3 win year I don’t know what is
