Las Vegas is a wild, wild place but their oddsmakers know what they are talking about. That\u2019s what makes the odds for the 2023 NFL Coach of the Year fascinating, or bemusing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who Vegas Oddsmakers Think Will Be 2023 NFL Coach Of The Year<\/h2>\n

The Ultimate Players’ Coach<\/h3>\n

Punters have either been sucked into the Hard Knocks hype or really\u00a0love a man with a Scottish name. They have been rushing to back Dan Campbell<\/a>. He is the current favourite to bag the 2023 NFL Coach of the Year award. Campbell is +820. That is understandable from the point of view that his Detroit Lions<\/a> won eight of their last 10 games. However, Detroit lost their highest scoring player from 2022<\/a> though. Jamaal Williams upped sticks and signed with the New Orleans Saints<\/a>. They do have David Montgomery<\/a> and exciting rookie Jahmyr Gibbs<\/a> replacing him\u00a0though.<\/span><\/p>\n

The more pertinent point relating to the 2023 Lions and Campbell\u2019s chances is turnover in his coaching team<\/a> for this season. Assistant head coach Duce Staley went to Carolina and has been replaced by Scottie Montgomery. Montgomery was previously the Indianapolis Colts<\/a> running backs coach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tanner Engstrand has moved from tight ends coach to become passing game coordinator. Steve Heiden<\/a> replaced him as tight ends coach. Heiden, who played in the league for 10 years, was previously the tight ends coach for the Arizona Cardinals<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dre Thompson has joined from the Denver Broncos<\/a> to become a defensive quality control coach too. Five more coaches also have new titles, but those appear to factor into how they perform their pre-existing roles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell\u2019s approach of loading his team up with young, former players to create a player-friendly environment is intriguing. Assistant linebackers coach, Shaun Dion Hamilton, is just 27 and assistant quarterbacks coach J.T Barrett<\/a> is the same age as Jared Goff (28). Most players will relate more to coaches who have experience performing tasks they are asking players to perform. So, there is a strong argument that Cambell is the smartest head coach in the league regardless of 2023\u2019s results. Even with that said, the Lions are among the top-ten likeliest to win the Super Bowl<\/a>, according to oddsmakers.<\/span><\/p>\n
