Belichick, McCarthy favoured to win NFL Coach of the Year

-

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a favourite to win his fourth NFL Coach of the Year honour in the eyes of two sportsbook­s.

Belichick, who won the award in 2003, 2007 and 2010, joined Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy at +1200 to win the award, per FanDuel.

The six-time Super Bowl-winning coach was listed at +1000 to win the award by DraftKings, ahead of both McCarthy (+1400) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians (+1400).

Arians, who has Belichick’s former quarterbac­k Tom Brady under centre for the Bucs this season, joined Indianapol­is Colts coach Frank Reich in being listed at +1400 by FanDuel.

Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury was listed at +1800 by FanDuel, followed by Sean McDermott (Buffalo Bills), Kevin Stefanski (Cleveland Browns), Kyle Shanahan (San Francisco 49ers) and Mike Vrabel (Tennessee Titans) — all at +2000.

Shahanan was given +1600 odds by DraftKings, with Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid joining Kingsbury, McDermott, Reich, Vrabel and Stefanski at +2000.

If you’re looking for a longshot, FanDuel listed

Jacksonvil­le coach Doug Marrone at +5000. DraftKings had the Jaguars coach accompanyi­ng Matt Patricia (Detroit), Bill O’Brien (Houston Texans) and Adam Gase (New York Jets) at +5000.

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge has hired one of his former players as an offensive quality-control coach, per multiple outlets.

Nick Williams, a wide receiver at Alabama when

Judge was the Crimson Tide’s special teams assistant, appeared to confirm the news by changing his Twitter profile picture to a Giants logo on Sunday.

Williams spent the last three seasons as the wide receivers coach at Southern Illinois. His playing career at Alabama (2009-12) overlapped Judge’s tenure (200911) on Nick Saban’s staff and included three national championsh­ips.

He is the son of former Michigan State head coach Bobby Williams.
