Even after leading his team to 14 wins and the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was an obvious snub despite having his photo used in the press release and build-up.
Daboll led the Giants to a 9-7-1 record in his first season as head coach. Former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson guided the Jacksonville Jaguars to a 9-8 record and an AFC South title in his first year with the team.
While Kyle Shanahan led the San Francisco 49ers to a 13-4 mark, including 5-0 down the stretch with third-string rookie quarterback Brock Purdy.
The winners will be announced at NFL Honors on Feb. 9. A nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league completed voting before the start of the playoffs.
