Josh McDaniels: NFL Coach Of The Year

In sports nowadays, we're all about premature calls. The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies will be your matchup on the World Series odds and Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels will be the NFL Head Coach Of The Year.

Alright guys, let's be serious. A lot of people hate the Broncos for being this good and a lot of people keep waiting for them to fail. The reality is that this team is 6-0 and they are a good football team.

The Broncos have also done things the right way. Dare I say, the Patriots way.

They are a smart football team that plays defense and doesn't make mistakes. They take what you give them, nickel and dime you up and down the field, and if you make mistakes (turnovers or missed tackles), they burn you. Is that what a good football should do?

Like the Patriots back in the days of yesteryear, who traded away a "franchise" quarterback in Drew Bledsoe, the Broncos also traded away their gunslinger in favor of a lesser known passer.

Then McDaniels removed one more and one more star as he made wide receiver Brandon Marshall stand in a corner until he was ready to join the rest of the team. Now the Broncos have a team - not a bunch of guys - but one tight knit team.

You have to give their defense credit, which has still yet to allow a fourth quarter point this season. While people are still waiting for defenses like Baltimore to turn around, the reality is that the landscape in the NFL has changed and while the Ravens defense is now bad, the Broncos defense is now good. Again, another smart move to hire Mike Nolan as the defensive coordinator.

Online betting handicappers have started to give the Broncos credit, pounding them last night as a 3.5-point underdog that was facing a 2-2 squad. It's only a matter of time before pundits, fans and the rest of the NFL starts respecting the Broncos.

McDaniels has orchestrated this perfect disaster and it has been impressive. he deserve credit and he should have already won Head Coach of the Year.
