What are the odds Houston Texans coach Bill O’Brien has for NFL coach of the year?
About the same as Doug Marrone and Matt Patricia have — in other words, not good.
According to BetMGM, the odds O’Brien, Marrone, and Patricia have for winning coach of the year are 50 to 1, tied for the worst odds among all 32 NFL coaches.
Of course, New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick gets the best odds at 10 to 1. Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel gets 14 to 1, the same as new Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy.
Frank Reich, the Indianapolis Colts coach, has favorable odds at 16 to 1, tied with San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan and Arizona Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury for the fourth-best in the field.
O’Brien’s offseason moves are not helping his case as the trading of three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins was critically panned. Also having a five-man draft class doesn’t help, even if the intention was to focus on quality, not quantity.
