"Johnson did not win NFL Coach of the Year honors for his efforts in 2025. Instead, it was New England Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel taking home the honors. Vrabel was certainly a worthy candidate whose arrival in New England sparked a return to glory for the Patriots. However, what should irk Ben Johnson (it's certainly bugging me) is that he got just one vote. That's it. One. Lousy. Vote."
"Orchestrated an offense that finished in the top-10 in points (9th), total yards (6th), touchdown passes (10th), rushing yards (3rd), and rushing scores (9th) Helped lead a turnaround from a team that had picked in the top-10 in every year of the Ryan Poles era from 2022-25 to one that played well enough to spark a worst-to-first turnaround. Beat the Packers twice, including in the playoffs Guided quarterback Caleb Williams to break the franchise's single-season passing yards record"
Mike Vrabel won the 2025 NFL Coach of the Year award with 19 votes, followed by Liam Coen (16), Mike Macdonald (8), Kyle Shanahan (6), and Ben Johnson (1). Ben Johnson led the Chicago Bears to a dramatic worst-to-first turnaround and a top-10 offense, finishing 9th in points, 6th in total yards, 10th in touchdown passes, 3rd in rushing yards, and 9th in rushing scores. The Bears beat the Packers twice, including a playoff victory, and quarterback Caleb Williams set the franchise single-season passing yards record. The one-vote result surprised many.
