NFL Coach of the Year odds have John Harbaugh favored at +650 as he starts his tenure with the New York Giants, following his success with the Baltimore Ravens, including a Super Bowl win. Former Ravens defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is also a contender at +850. The opening odds list Harbaugh at +500, with Kellen Moore of the Saints seen as a potential dark horse at +1400, especially given their favorable schedule. Historical trends indicate no back-to-back winners since 1982, and the Saints could challenge for the NFC South title this season.
