Created on February 6, 2026 | Total tries: 75 | Average Score: 36.7 out of 70 (52%) | Quiz FAQ

After the 2023 NFL Season, Mike Vrabel had just gone 6-11 with the Tennessee Titans, but many heads were still turned when he was fired after six years with the team.

In his first year with the New England Patriots, he showed why.

He’s just the 13th coach in NFL history to win a second AP Coach of the Year Award after leading a 10-win jump and Super Bowl appearance for a team that had won just eight games combined in the last two campaigns.

Now the former Patriots linebacker has a chance to become just the fifth man to win a Super Bowl as both a player and head coach.

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the NFL head coaches to be named AP Coach of the Year can you name in eight minutes?

Good luck!
