The Dolphins are now 10-4 and ranked the No. 2 seed in the AFC in McDaniel's second season as head coach. McDaniel was previously the second-place finisher at the ceremony, but recently slipped to fifth place.
Both Ryans and McDaniel were former 49ers coordinators under Shanahan.
Dan Campbell (Lions) +200
When the Lions introduced Campbell as their new head coach in a 2021 press conference, Campbell made an immediate impact. That's when Campbell uttered the now-famous quote "Bite your kneecaps off," which went viral.
Campbell is a former NFL tight end who turned to coaching when a serious knee injury in 2009 brought his career to an abrupt end. He has an infectious spirit and, as a former player, he fits right into the dressing room.
Campbell is a popular manager among bettors. Since he took over as head coach in 2021, the Lions hold the best betting record in the NFL at 32-16 points. The Lions are 9-5 ATS this season, tied with four other teams as the NFL's top pick.
The Lions are now 10-4 and on track to win their first league title in 30 years. If the season ended today, the Lions would be in third place behind the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys with the NFC playoff game just around the corner.
Campbell has been one of two or three betting favorites for Coach of the Year all season and has recently climbed back to the top of the award standings. You can bet at +200 odds that Campbell will win Coach of the Year.
Sean Steichen (Colts) +300
Steichen is a rookie head coach who has been impressive with the Colts (8-6). As the former offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles, he led the Eagles to Super Bowl 56.
Steichen inherits a team in transition, with running back Jonathan Taylor in the middle of a contract dispute. The Colts selected Anthony Richardson with the fourth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and he earned the starting job before a shoulder injury prematurely ended his season. Backup quarterback Gard Minshew stepped up to ensure the Colts won the division title.
Steichen will remain in contention for Coach of the Year as long as the Colts make the playoffs, and you can back him at +300 odds. The Colts are currently the seventh seed in the AFC, but have a chance to win the AFC South title after losing three straight games to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
DeMeco Reigns (Texans) +350
Ryans is another rookie head coach whose new team has exceeded initial expectations. Few experts believe the Texans will win more than five games, but they are currently 8-6 and on the AFC playoff bubble.
Ryans is a former Alabama star who spent several seasons as a linebacker in the NFL. He's the former defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers who left one of the NFC's top teams to help revive one of the AFC's worst teams.
The Texans were 3-13-1 last season and 11-38-1 over the past three seasons. During that time, they changed coaches in consecutive seasons, including David Culley and Lovie Smith.
The Texans also compete with the Colts and Jaguars for the AFC South title. But rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud is expected to miss his second straight game with a concussion. If the Texans can win the division, Ryans will have a chance to win Coach of the Year. Now you can back Ryans at +350 odds.
