The Canadian-born head coach Brian Daboll was named the Associated Press 2022 NFL Coach of the Year for his efforts in turning around the New York Giants.

Both quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley had career years in Daboll’s offense. New York finished with the league’s fourth-best rushing offense with 148.2 rushing yards per game and averaged more than 20 points per game (21.5) for the first time in two seasons.

He is just the second Canadian-born head coach in the history of the NFL following British Columbia-born, Michigan-raised Tommy Hughitt, who was the player-coach of the Buffalo All-Americans/Bisons from 1920 to 1924.
