When I read this my thoughts were if the Pats go undefeated then BB deserves the award and if he doesn't get it then I would consider it a great injustice to BB.
I assume BB is like his player and not concerned with personal accolades, but as a fan of BB and the team it is difficult to watch both get such disrespect.
I also think that BB doesn't go out of his way to placate the media and since it is the media members that vote for the award there will be a anti-Bill sentiment among the media. (Similar to the anti-Rice sentiment among the baseball writers in HOF balloting.)
2 questions:
Is there a way to elect a coach of the year that doesn't involve "politicing" with media?
Do the Spygate fine affect Pioli's chances at executive of the year? (Something I think he deserves for the way this team was built in the off season.)
