Was voted NFC North ST coach of the year
Last season, The Athletic polled NFC personnel people on various topics in the division, including MVP, Coach of the Year and several others. Bonamego was voted special teams coach of the year in the division, receiving two of the four votes to win the award.
Bonamego is obviously well respected around the league, as he’s gotten countless chances as a special teams coordinator by a number of teams, and this vote shows that the Lions’ special teams unit was arguably the best in the division last season.
