McVay, Staley among favorites for 2021 Coach of the Year originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
Kevin Stefanski won the 2020 NFL Coach of the Year after helping the Cleveland Browns secure their first winning record since 2007 and ending the NFL’s longest active playoff drought, which dated back to 2002.
Despite trailing Buffalo’s Sean McDermott and Miami’s Brian Flores in NFL Coach of the Year odds on the board in February, Stefanski beat out both coaches to win the award.
Will Stefanski or Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay win their second Coach of the Year award, or will a new face like Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley take the crown in his first year at the helm?
Here are the odds for the 2021 NFL Coach of the Year from PointsBet Sportsbook.
