Detroit Lions coach Matt Patricia has won just nine games in his first two seasons at the helm. Patricia is back for a third season and the team’s outlook is growing in optimism, but the professional oddsmakers are not sold on Patricia leading a radical turnaround in 2020.
Patricia is tied for the longest odds to win the NFL Coach of the Year honors. At BetMGM, the Lions coach is tied with Houston’s Bill O’Brien and Jacksonville’s Doug Marrone at +5000 to win the honor.
Bill Belichick in New England has the best odds at +1000, followed by Mike McCarthy in Dallas and Mike Vrabel with the Titans.
Last year’s winner was John Harbaugh of the Ravens, who is in a large group of coaches with the 8th-best odds at +2000.
