Daboll was a first time coach and got DJones to look....ok?

That, and he gave New York a team worth watching, and the league is gonna reward that.

Doug is a former SB winner, it's kind of expected that he knows how to manage a team and get wins. His past was probably counted against him in the comparison among the top coaches. I'm just glad we have a coach in the dang conversation!!

So what was your preseason prediction?

Was it expected that Doug would have taken the Jags from the #1 pick to winning the division and winning a playoff game?

Come on now. He did the best coaching job by a mile this year.

I predicted a slow start, and figured 6-7 wins was the floor. They overachieved, but I never doubted that Trevor was better than the expletive-show we were subjected to in 2021.

Now preseason what did I think of Daniel Jones? Dead man walking. Complete dismissal that he was a starting caliber QB. The Gints were Saquon and 50 other dudes. Daboll was a first time coach, and completely changed their course without the benefit of massive FA spending or a plethora of darft picks that usually coincide with a complete 180.

Make no mistake, Doug is the hero WE needed. Daboll gets the award this year, we get the Trophy next year.

This right here. I think less of a case could be made for Shanny, but I think a lot of people were surprised that they didn't seem to falter once they were down to a rookie QB. Consider that the only competition they got this year was from Geno and the twelves, and that's not some magnanimous accomplishment.
