Patriots’ Bill Belichick co-favorite for AP NFL Coach of the Year

Bill Belichick hasn’t won the award since 2010.

Bill Belichick is up for a huge challenge in the 2020 season.

He’s without Tom Brady on the roster for the first time in two decades and second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham is the best option to start. Belichick is 68-years-old and has to rebuild the identity of the New England Patriots offense — while holding his roles as general manager and a defensive play-caller.

For these reasons, he holds 12/1 betting odds alongside Bruce Arians for AP NFL Coach of the Year, according to Bet Online. Arians coincidentally will have Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski at his disposal this season, along with a few other big time weapons.

Here’s the complete list.

Bill Belichick- 12/1
Bruce Arians- 12/1
Mike McCarthy- 14/1
Frank Reich- 16/1
Andy Reid- 18/1
Kevin Stefanski- 18/1
Kliff Kingsbury- 18/1
Sean McDermott- 18/1
Kyle Shanahan- 20/1
Mike Vrabel- 22/1
Brian Flores-  25/1
Doug Pederson- 25/1
John Harbaugh- 25/1

Belichick won the award in 2003, 2007 and 2010.
